Issue/Introduction

After adding records into Opera, a restart of Opera resulted in the following error conditions:

CAIW880E ACT DATABASE Failure: BROWSE RC=0016
CAIW811E Action Table Build Failure          
CAIW847E Automation Table REFRESH Failure    

 

Environment

Release: 3.1

Resolution

Problem is caused by the ACTFILE going into too many extents and the pointers being out of sync. Allocate a larger ACTFILE.

The SAMPJCL dataset contains the member IW31BLD, which is used to create the databases and to load them with data.  This job uses the member CAIWIDFA from the source library (CAI.CAISRC),  which contains the SYSIN data for IDCAMS to define the ACT database.  Use CAIWIDFA member as an example to allocate a new dataset.
