UT011000 errors in CLEANUP

Issue/Introduction

An IDMS CLEANUP job is getting the following error message(s):

UT011000 Unable to remove Ldel record <record-name>. Dbkey=<dbkey>.

Environment

Release: All supported releases.

Cause

The record occurrence identified in the messages can not be processed. The most probable cause of this problem is as follows.

Some time in the past, potentially years previously, a restructure was run against the same database. CLEANUP should have been run at that point before the restructure, but wasn't. Because of this, the restructure issued UT011005 messages. This message essentially indicates that the restructure has failed and must be re-run, but it is a warning only. 

The UT011005 message contains this text:

Prefix changes were specified for the named record and a logically-deleted occurrence of the record was found at the specified db-key. Processing continues; however the logically-deleted record will be incompatible with the restructure changes and cannot be processed by DBMS. Restore the area, run Cleanup and rerun Restructure.

The UT011005 message was ignored and the database remained in that condition. Most likely, it would not cause a problem until the next time such a utility or an IDMSDBAN was run against it.

Resolution

In all likelihood, the only resolution is to use FIX PAGE to make the record occurrences "invisible" to IDMS and then run an unload/reload or REORG.

Open a support case for assistance.
