Issue/Introduction

The filter file, with the dataset to be triggered defined in column 1, is not read correctly into the internal tables. There is an unplanned suffix in the variable after many blank characters. This leads to the following message: 

fwrite error. error=3(EDC5003I Truncation of a record occurred during an I/O operation.)

Environment

Automic Automation Engine

Cause

Configuration.

Resolution

The VSAM dataset has been created with the incorrect parameters.

RECORDSIZE(1024 1024) -
FREESPACE(10 5)) -

Instead of:

RECORDSIZE(1024 2048) -
FREESPACE(10 10) -

The wrong values have also been corrected in our documentation:

Create the UCEVENT data set for each LPAR.

Example:

//CRTEMDS JOB ####,'XXX',NOTIFY=&SYSUID,MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//* Create Data sets for UC4 EventMonitor
//*. -----------------------------------
//UCEVENT EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
