***** Early Warning of CA Bundl file full condition *****

- Prior to a CA Bundl file becoming FULL, there are 2 WARNING messages CA Bundl issues when a file reaches 80% capacity:
                                                     
BND7031I File DDNAME is XX% FULL. <-- Appears when, at least, 80% full.   
BND7032E File DDNAME is 90% FULL. <-- Appears when, at least, 90% full.

- The above two messages would be the ones you would want to look for in all CA Bundl job/task output.
- Additionally, add these same 2 messages to your automation package so that someone receives advanced notification of the files condition.

The appropriate "corrective action" may vary, depending on which CA Bundl file has reached it's capacity. Common actions to take might include:

- Verify you are performing the appropriate cleanup processing against the files on a regular basis.

• DPMB007 - To cleanup expired time based archive (AIF) records - Review Archive Data Set Summary Report
• DPMB027 - To cleanup expired cycle based archive (AIF) records - Review Archive Data Set Summary Report
• DPMB008 - To cleanup expired time and cycle based view (VIF) records. - View Page File Utilization Summary Report

 
- Verify EOD processing (pgm=DPMB096) is resetting/clearing the appropriate files on a regular basis.
- Execute the CC50JORG process (Backup,Delete,Define,Repro) regularly to "REORG" the files so that Bundl can reuse the space in them.
- Lower the appropriate CA Bundl retention on the entries in the file.
- Manually delete any unwanted data from the file.
- Execute a modified CC50JORG REORG process (Backup,Delete,Define,Repro) should it become necessary to increase the size of a file.
  See "Article Id: 241277 - Title: Increasing the size of a Bundl file" for more information on this process.
