Am trying to make large number of entries in a VSAM cluster having an AIX,

Code:

In VSAM,

Primary key        Alternate Key         Data
00000002     02ABCDEFGHIJK0010020 ........... 
00000003     02ABCDEFGHIJK0010020 ........... 
00000004     03ABCDEFGHIJK0010020 ........... 
00000005     03ABCDEFGHIJK0010020 ........... 
00000006     02ABCDEFGHIJK0010020 ........... 
00000007     02ABCDEFGHIJK0010020 ........... 


In AIX, all record numbers belonging to common AIX gets stored in row
Code:

------------------- --------------------------------------------
02ABCDEFGHIJK0010020 00000002000000030000000600000007
03ABCDEFGHIJK0010020 0000000400000005

But when i try to insert very large number of entries, i get an abend after
some records.
Not all records got loaded in VSAM. I tried inserting a record in into VSAM with a different AIX and it works. however with same AIX it does not insert. the AIX seems to have got full here.
What parameter(AIX length etc) should i increase here while creating AIX or is there a probem with the cluster itself. I am new to AIXs so please give reference links if any.

What is the exact error message you're getting, and what is the definition of the AIX? What's the base cluster definition, too?

Hello,

If you post the define for the aix, some info about the number of entries for the problem value and the diagnostic info (at least the vsam return code and any other diagnostic info that is presented) when the job is run we may be able to help.

Here are the Specifications?
Code:

DEFINE CLUSTER(NAME (MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE) -           
               FREESPACE(10,10)             -                 
               KEYS(8,0)                   -

       DATA(NAME (MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.DATA)      -     
            CONTROLINTERVALSIZE(4096)                 -       
            FREESPACE(10,10))                     -           
       INDEX(NAME (MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.INDEX) )       

 DEFINE AIX                               -                       
       (                                  -                       
       NAME(MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.AIX) -                     
       RELATE(MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE) -                       
       KEYS(20,9)                          -                       
       TRACKS(1,10)                        -                       
       SHAREOPTIONS(4,4) SPEED IMBED       -                       
       NONUNIQUEKEY UPGRADE         -                             
       )                                   -                       
       DATA (NAME (MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.AIX.DATA) -         
             CONTROLINTERVALSIZE(4096)                 -           
             FREESPACE(10,10)                          -           
            )                                          -           
       INDEX (NAME (MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.INDEX) -       
             )                                                     


And i am attempting to repro large number of records(>10,000) having same alternate key value to the cluster. This is the error i am getting:
Code:

IDCAMS  SYSTEM SERVICES                                           TIME: 19:3
                                                                           
    IF LASTCC=0 THEN                                                       
                                                                           
       REPRO INDATASET(MYFLAT.FILE)      -                   
       OUTDATASET(MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE)                               
IDC3302I  ACTION ERROR ON MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE                       
IDC3351I ** VSAM I/O RETURN CODE IS 108 - RPLFDBWD = X'8F08046C'           
IDC31467I MAXIMUM ERROR LIMIT REACHED.                                     
IDC0005I NUMBER OF RECORDS PROCESSED WAS 4071

IDC0002I IDCAMS PROCESSING COMPLETE. MAXIMUM CONDITION CODE WAS 12         

IBM has given following formula for calculation of AIX length:
RECSZ = 5 + AIX Length + [(primary key length)*(no. of records with this common Alternate key)
In my case,
= 5 + 20 + [(8)*4072]
= 32600 (this is the maximum available aix length by IBM)
but i checked this out on the web that AIX length can be increased beyond this value.See NONUNIQUEKEY in below link:
[url=http://gsf-soft.com/Documents/VSAM-AIX.shtml#upgrade ]
[/url]
But when i tried to create an AIX with a record size greater than 32600, define aix fails giving error,
Code:

IGD17103I CATALOG ERROR WHILE DEFINING VSAM DATA SET                           
MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.AIX

108 The RECLEN specified was larger than the maximum allowed, equal to 0, or smaller than the sum of the length and the displacement of the key field of the base cluster or related alternate index (AIX). The RECLEN was not equal to the slot size specified for a relative record data set

Have you noticed that the index component of both the base cluster and the AIX have the exact same name ?

Just had yet another read through here ..........

Suggestion - build and load the base cluster first. See if any errors occur during this process.

second - Define and relate the AIX and PATH

last - build the index from the base cluster. This is usually much faster than dynamically updating the AIX with every new record added.

thanks for the reference link anuj.

expat,
I made an error here, the name of AIXs index component is
MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.AIX.INDEX in my test job, made a mistake while changing the names before posting in the forum.So that is not the issue.

i created cluster first, then created the AIX. Both jobs ran fine giving 0 return codes for each step. Then i did the repro in a separate job.

These are the define PATH & BLDINDEX statements :

Code:

DEFINE PATH                    -                             
       (                                         -           
       NAME(MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.PATH)            -     
       PATHENTRY(MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.AIX)     -       
       UPDATE                                    -           
       )                                                     
BLDINDEX   INDATASET(MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE)        -       
          OUTDATASET(MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.AIX)             


Please advise if the BLDINDEX has to be corrected.
Also would like t o repeat my previous question again:
Can we have a AIX with Recsz greater than 32600?

What happens when you try to define an AIX with a record length greater than 32600 ?

If you8 have problems defining it, please post the source statements and the error messages for us to look at.

Have posted the return code in the above, posting again
But when i tried to create an AIX with a record size greater than 32600,
Code:

 DEFINE AIX                               -                       
       (                                  -                       
       NAME(MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.AIX) -                     
       RELATE(MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE) -                       
       KEYS(20,9)                          -                       
       RECORDSIZE(4086 66000)   -
       TRACKS(1,10)                        -                       
       SHAREOPTIONS(4,4) SPEED IMBED       -                       
       NONUNIQUEKEY UPGRADE         -                             
       )                                   -

             FREESPACE(10,10)                          -           
            )                                          -           
       INDEX (NAME (MYVSAM.SPLIT.VFILE.INDEX) -       
             )                 



define aix fails giving error,

Code:

IGD17103I CATALOG ERROR WHILE DEFINING VSAM DATA SET

As per this link it should work fine,

This works for me - but where did you get the 4086 as the mimimum record size from ?
Code:

  DEFINE   AIX    (NAME('Base Cluster AIX')   -       
           RECORDSIZE(30 66000) KEYS(10 13)     -       
           TRACKS(10 10)                        -       
           RELATE('Base Cluster') NONUNIQUEKEY UPGRADE)

expat, last I heard the first number (even for AIX) is the average record length, not minimum.
