archive log problems, example recovery scenarios, problem, archive log, CSQJ114I message" /> Off-load task terminated abnormally

 

Off-load task terminated abnormally

Symptoms

No specific WebSphere MQ message is issued for write I/O errors.

Only a z/OS error recovery program message appears. If you get WebSphere MQ message CSQJ128E, the off-load task has terminated abnormally, and you should consult the WebSphere MQ for z/OS Messages and Codes manual.

System action

The following actions take place:

  • Off-load abandons the output data set; no entry is made in the BSDS.

  • Off-load dynamically allocates a new archive and restarts off-loading from the point at which it was previously triggered.

  • If an error occurs on the new data set:

    • In dual archive mode, the following message is generated and the off-load processing changes to single mode:

      CSQJ114I +CSQ1 ERROR ON ARCHIVE DATA SET, OFFLOAD
                 CONTINUING WITH ONLY ONE ARCHIVE DATA SET BEING
                 GENERATED

    • In single archive mode, the output data set is abandoned. Another attempt to off-load this RBA range is made the next time off-load is triggered.

    • The active log does not wrap around; if there are no more active logs, data is not lost.

System programmer action

None.

Operator action

Ensure that off-load is allocated on a reliable drive and control unit.
