RDF System Management Manual for H-Series and J-Series RVUs (RDF 1.9)
NOTE: Under some circumstances, after the configured backup receiver process re-creates
its primary process and switches to that process, it continues to hold an image file open. When
the receiver no longer needs this image file and the purger tries to purge it, the purger logs
RDF error 797 accompanied by file-system error 12. If the backup receiver process is the opener,
you can manually stop the backup receiver process with the TACL STOP command; this clears
the problem so that the next time the receiver stops or finishes with an image file, this file will
be purged.
798
Image trail file open error error on filename
error
is the file-system error number that identifies the specific error.
filename
is the name of the image file associated with the error.
Cause An RDF process encountered the specified file-system error while attempting to open
the specified file.
Effect The process abends, and RDF stops. The exception to this is an error 12 (file in use)
issued when either the receiver or purger attempts to open the file. In this case, the process
posts a short delay and then retries the operation, and it repeats these two steps until successful.
Recovery For an error 12 associated with an image file, perform a FUP LISTOPENS on the
file to determine which process currently has the designated file open. If the process that has
the image file open is not an RDF process, then stop that process.
In all other cases, restart RDF.
799
Image trail file read error error on filename, RBA rba
error
is the file-system error number that identifies the specific error.
filename
is the name of the image file associated with the error.
rba
is the relative byte address where the error occurred.
Cause An RDF process encountered an error while attempting to read an image file.
Effect This is a catastrophic error; the process abends, and RDF stops.
The message includes the error number returned by the READ system procedure, followed
by the file name.
Recovery Restart RDF. If the condition persists, you might have to reinitialize RDF.
Preserve the designated image file and report the problem to your service provider.
800
Image trail file write error error on filename
error
is the file-system error number that identifies the specific error.
filename
is the name of the image file associated with the error.
Cause The receiver process encountered a file-system error while attempting to write to the
specified file.
Effect The message includes the error number returned by the WRITE system procedure
followed by the file name.
