Event Messages

ZTMF-VAL-ARExcp-AuxPtrMismatch

ZTMF-VAL-ARExcp-Format2File

ZTMF-VAL-ARExcp-Format2Rec

Effect

The recovery fails.

In the case of volume recovery, the process is not restarted. The affected data volume

is flagged as needing recovery and is disabled for transaction processing.

In the case of backout or file recovery, the TMF management process (TMP) restarts

the process. If the error was transitory, the recovery operation continues to

completion. If the error persists, the recovery process abends again and is restarted.

The restart attempts occur at successively longer time intervals.

Recommended Action

If the audit read exception is ZTMF-VAL-ARExcp-Format2File or ZTMF-VAL-ARExcp-

Format2Rec, it means that the current version of TMF supports only Format 1 audit

trail files and that the recovery process encountered a Format 2 file or record. You

should do either of the following:

•

Delete TMF (which deletes all audit trail files, including the Format 2 file or record),

and then restart the current version of TMF.

•

Upgrade to the G08V01 or a later version of the software, and then retry the

recovery.

For all other audit read exceptions, this is a serious event. If a data volume is disabled,

its unavailability could degrade the performance of one or more applications. If either

backout or file recovery is retried many times, audit-trail files could get pinned on the

disk, causing the audit trail to reach the overflow threshold.

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