A CA IDMS CV Batch job runs fine on most days but sometimes fails with an 1153 abend code. In most cases re-running the job is successful. What can cause an 1153 abend code?
Environment
CA IDMS, all supported releases.
Cause
The 1153 abend code can be caused by a corrupt index but it can also be caused by other things:
When specifying RETRIEVAL NOLOCK in the SYSGEN and a retrieval run unit reads a record being updated by another transaction. When a retrieval run unit in local mode reads a record being updated by another transaction running under the CV or another batch job.
Resolution
Change the SYSGEN to remove RETRIEVAL NOLOCK, or Try re-running the job when there is no or low update activity.
