Environment

Release: 12.1- View

Cause

The problem was occurring with the IBM RMM product.

 

Resolution

IBM found the problem to be in a RMM module and provided the the following APARs: 

z/OS 2.2 
++ APAR(AA56204) /* 5695DF186 */ . 
++ VER (Z038) 
FMID(HDZ2220) 
PRE (AA55518,UA96388). 
++ IF FMID(HDZ2210) THEN REQ (AA56204). 

z/OS 2.3 
++APAR(BA56204) /* 10/01/18 07:34:10 */ 
REWORK(2018274). 
++VER(Z038) FMID(HDZ2230) 
PRE(UA96384) 
/*

The workaround in the meantime is to restart View with OPT=STOPBU to have View not continue with the backup cycle, and then issue a command "F sarstc,NEW" to run a backup cycle to a new volume.
