Issue/Introduction
You are IPLing our Data center in a new Location. On the first LPAR OPS/MVS is not functioning to bring up tasks.
You have not seen any OPS messages indicating a failure in CAS9 or CAIRIM or OPS/MVS error statements
The following message appears in the OPSMAIN joblog:
OPS3917S Catalog workarea too small for prefix xxxxxxx
Environment
OPS/MVS
Cause
More than 2,500 datasets were matching the OPS/MVS RULEPREFIX parameter. From OPS/MVS documentation:
OPS3917S
Catalog workarea too small for prefix var1
Modifiable: Yes
Explanation:
The catalog contains more than 2500 data set entries whose names
begin with the AOF rule data set prefix as specified by the
RULEPREFIX product parameter. The work area used to contain the
results of the catalog search cannot contain more than 2500 data
set entries.
Resolution
Deleting some datasets to bring the number below 2,500 solved the problem.
From OPS/MVS documentation:
Action:
Reduce the number of data sets under the rule data set prefix.
Doing so will significantly improve performance on AOF rule set
related operations. We strongly recommend that you use a unique
high-level qualifier for your AOF rule data sets. As a last
resort, if you are unable to reduce the number of data sets under
the high level qualifier, contact CA Customer Support for
assistance in increasing the size of the CA OPS/MVS catalog work
area.
