Why do we receive the message during export GV105 EMPTY CLUSTER EXPORTING DEFINITION

Issue/Introduction

 

We had a FAVER job fail this weekend with a RC4

GV105 EMPTY CLUSTER EXPORTING DEFINITION   
GV111 CONDITION CODE SET TO 004            

Is there something we need to do to fix this so the job doesn't fail?  Or is there a check we can place in the job so the job doesn't get marked failed if this is an acceptable error?

Environment

Release : 4.5

Resolution

The message:

GV105 EMPTY CLUSTER EXPORTING DEFINITION   

Is explaining that the particular cluster happens to be empty and the definition would be exported anyway. The RC is automatically set to 4 so you are aware. The job did not fail in any way.

At the end of the export job you saw this message:

      28 OBJECTS SUCCESSFULLY PROCESSED        --->> tells us that 28 clusters were exported

           004          379                     

There is nothing wrong with the export process.

Recommend that you review the RC4 as a potential pass and allow subsequent jobs to continue in your scheduling package. In this case Faver is working exactly as designed.
