Issue/Introduction

Receiving message:

DADSA576 (aaaaaaaa) JOBN (bbbbbbbb) hh:mm:ss DADSAUD WRITERR=NOSPACE

This message indicates that the DADS Plus for CICS Audit file is full. How to allocate additional space to DADSAUD without having to recycle CICS?

The DADSAUD file is an optional file which DADS Plus for CICS uses to write a chronological audit history of all online DADS Plus for CICS transaction activity. The DADSAUD file can be read and interpreted to produce an Audit List report using DADBAUIT batch program. Once the DADSAUD file becomes full DADS Plus for CICS will continue to function normally but no additional audit data will be captured.

Resolution

The DADSAUD file can be maintained while CICS is still active without causing a CICS outage, by using DADS Plus for CICS.

1. Add the DADSAUD file to DADS Plus for CICS using the online transaction DADM
   
   
2. Deallocate the DADSAUD from CICS using the DADS Plus for CICS online transaction DADA
   
   
3. Backup DADSAUD using the IDCAMS repro utility. A report of the DADSAUD file contents can also be produced using the DADBAUIT batch utility program
   
   
4. Delete/define and initialize the DADSAUD file using sample JCL DADSAUD shipped as part of the base install located in the HQL.SAMPLIB
   
   
5. Allocate the new DADSAUD back to CICS using the online transaction DADA
