Resolution

 

To have more informations why the the following message

 ADSDM083 9999 SEVERE ERROR ENCOUNTERED PROCESSING FILES xxxxxx ON VOLUME NNNNNN   

is displayed, a DSETMAP, found in the CCUWJCL library of CA DISK, is advised to run and analyze it. 

To prevent a reoccurrence of this problem a FDS Unload/reload is usually suggested.

 Stop all the other CA-Disk jobs (like backup or archive) from running.
 Place them on hold and stop any job that may update the FDS). 
Then  the following steps can be run to unload / reload the FILES:
1. First execute the UNLOAD utility and unload the FDS to a seq file.
      UNLOAD ALL
 
 2. Rename the FDS to 'old'.
 
 3. Execute a FILEINIT job to initiate a new FDS, you can find a sample JCL
    of FILEINIT in your CA DISK CCUWJCL library, or hopefully the old JCL from
    your predecessor is still around.
 
    The FILEINIT job will call in member FILEDEFN located in CA-Disk PARMLIB
 
 4. Then execute a RELOAD into the new FDS, using the output from step one
     (UNLOAD) as input.
 
     RELOAD ALL,FORMAT

   
 As for Vantage and Allocate, there is no need to stop them. although if the Vantage ARM is used to control your DMSARs, it should be suspended from submitting any request until the unload / reload of FILES is done.
