Issue/Introduction

DAILY backup abended with "EC 4D5" that occurred during the first SFS filespace. All other tasks were successfully executed.

We moved  a couple of minidisks in our VM during the day which required a shutdown of the SFS server. The HIDRO server had not been restarted.

Might that be the cause of the HiDRO abend?


 

Resolution

Yes, it's quite possible the SFS server being shut down while HiDRO had access to the FilePool is what caused the abend.

Any interruption to the SFS server could cause a job to abend.
