Descriptions of Event Messages

Effect

The transaction is retried or ignored, as indicated in the message.

If the status is “retried,” then the backout process terminates work on this transaction

and the TMF management process (TMP) resubmits the transaction identifier to the

backout process to try again to undo the transaction. If the TMP has already submitted

the transaction identifier to the backout process three times, then the TMP hangs the

transaction.

If the status is “ignored,” then the backout process ignores the error on the affected file

and continues to perform any other undo on behalf of the specified transaction.

Recommended Action

To determine if the transaction is “hung,” issue a STATUS TRANSACTION command,

specifying the particular transaction identifier.

If the transaction is “hung,” refer to the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages

Manual to see if the file-system error can be corrected. If recovery is possible, perform

the corrective action, then issue a ABORT TRANSACTION command, specifying the

particular transaction identifier.

If the status indicated by this error message is “ignored,” then no recovery action is

immediately needed, but the affected file is not in a consistent state. If the problem

contact your service provider and provide all relevant information as follows:

•

Descriptions of the problem and accompanying symptoms

•

Details from the message(s) generated

•

Supporting documentation such as Event Management Service (EMS) logs, trace

files, and a CPU dump, if applicable

If your local operating procedures require contacting the Global Customer Support

Center (GCSC), supply your system number and the numbers and versions of all
