Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to a new version of the z/OS agent, all Event-Scans of z/OS-Console fail. these two errors can be found in the log:
 

fwrite error. error=65(EDC5065I A write system error was detected.)

get_record <-- (errorflocate: 59-EDC5059I An attempt to reposition a VSAM file failed.)

Environment

Release:
Component: AAUTEN

Resolution

Solution: Re-initialization of UCEVENT VSAM
The file must contain at least one dummy record. Therefore, repeat the initialization steps. The name UC4Q.UCEVENT.VSAM.V11  is here an example. Take the name from your system's UCEVENT VSAM.
 

//INITVSAM  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*
//OUT1      DD DISP=SHR,DSN=UC4Q.UCEVENT.VSAM.V11
//SYSIN     DD *
  REPRO INFILE(IN1) OFILE(OUT1)
//IN1       DD *
DUMMY
/*

To check content of VSAM please submit this jobstep:
 

//INITVSAM  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS 
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*
//OUT1      DD DISP=SHR,DSN=UC4Q.UCEVENT.VSAM.V11
//SYSIN     DD *
  PARM GRAPHICS(CHAIN(SN))
  PRINT INFILE(OUT1)
