Description:
Message "SARDBI01 Data FILE ALLOCATION FAILED FOR database -ERROR=1708, INFO=0002 DS=nnn " will occur when an active View database extent has been deleted.
This message appears when trying to add extra space or requesting a status on a database, and View is unable to find a dataset which it considers is part of the database.
This condition can occur by a dataset being renamed/deleted or as a result of a previously run failed job to add space.
Therefore the missing file has to be recreated and may need to be restored.
Solution:
To create the missing extent, do the following:
. Create a new database with a new name, using SARDBASE ADDDS.
. For the extents up to right before the extent that is missing, use "ADDDS ... CYL=1".
. For the replaced extent, use "ADDDS ... CYL=nnnn", allocated as would be a standard extent.
. Use =3.4 to rename the database extent to match the name of the extent that is missing.
