DCOLLECT ERROR While reading backupinfo from BCDS Datasets

Hello,

I am trying to collect some backupinfo from BCDS using DCOLLECT.
I am using following parameter in my DCOLLECT JOB.

//SYSIN DD *
DCOLLECT -
OUTFILE(DCOUT) -
BACKUPDATA

This DCOLLECT fails with the following error message.
IDC21804I FAILURE DURING MIGRATION DATA COLLECTION SERVICE PROCESSING -
IDC21804I RETURN CODE WAS X'0C' REASON CODE WAS X'00000002
IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 8

there are 4 BCDS component BCDS1,BCDS2,BCDS3,BCDS4, for all except BCDS1 it works fine.

I have done dataset audit, BCDS audit, have run a IDCAMS EXANINE and diagnose. but all seems to have ended OK.

Could anyone suggest how we can identify what the problem is and any possible way of solving it.

Thanks
Jay

Have you tried adding the DD statements for all of the BCDS components

I have tried initially with all BCDS components - It was giving the same error.

Then I tried with individual datasets.

with BCDS2 BCDS3 abd BCDS4 it ended with RC=0
only in case of BCDS1 it is causing this problem.

Cheers

Please post the code and output from the failure where you have defined all of the BCDS components.

It says that the failure is during the collection of migrated data, which you have not shown in your submitted JCL.

Are you sure that you are showing us the submitted JCL, or just what you want to show us. Admitedly only with one BCDS I have just processed a DCOLLECT ofr only BACKUPDATA and had no problems.

Have you tried adding the MCDS DD ststement to see what happens. Although the error messages / codes do point to a BCDS problem.

How much HSM processing is going on at the time.
Does the BCDS need a reorg.
How was the BCDS split.

Oh, almost forgot, is the BCDS RLS ?

Hello,

Though this message says migration dataset collection error,
it is actually a problem while reading data from BCDS.
It is clear from error code definition

IDC21804I RETURN CODE WAS X'0C' REASON CODE WAS X'00000002

JCL given here is the one which I have used.

There is no HSM processing going on as it is a test lpar and we an shut down HSM if needed.

We have already done reorg for all 4 BCDS datasets.

All BCDS files are RLS files

Unfortunately I don't have too much time at the moment, but have you tried
