Issue/Introduction

Receiving the below errors, during the running of a View backup cycle:

SARDBI02  Sysout group XXXXXXXX-R01 skipped due to previous I/O error
SARDBI17  Database space for file deleted or reused, SFBKEY=X'D1F4F3E7E7F2F0F760D9F0F140404040
SARBKT50  Sysout group XXXXXXXX-R01 skipped due to previous I/O error                        

What can be done to stop these errors from occurring again?

Resolution

A SARDBI17 message occurs when there is the browsing of a report that has been deleted (by someone or by the backup cycle).
The space the deleted report occupied is then reused, and the original report no longer owns that space.

Most likely, it was the View backup cycle expiring the report, the condition likely coincides with the timing of the backup cycle.

For a SARDBI02 message, there sounds is something possibly wrong with the pointers in the database.

To resolve a SARDBI02 condition, the suggestion is to run a SARDBASE VERIFY:

//XXXXXXXX JOB ...
//SARDBASE EXEC PGM=SARDBASE,PARM='VIEW_HLQ' <=== MODIFY DB NAME
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CVDELOAD <=== MODIFY, IF USED
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
VERIFY
/*
//

Note: Before running the VERIFY, it is necessary to bring down all View tasks, as well as any Deliver tasks that write directly to the View database.
