Issue/Introduction

When running BDFBK03B to fallback from R15 to R14, i receive the following error: 

 

CONTROL CARD(S)

ACCESS STATUS=UTLTY,USERS=FAIL

FUNCTION=ACCESS

STATUS=UTLTY

USERS=FAIL

 

DB00607I - BASE ALL ACCESS UTLTY ACTIVE JOB(S) ***ACTNG JOB-BDFBK03B NUMBER-94140

DB10045E - ABNORMAL TERMINATION DUE TO ERROR(S) 

 

Environment

z/os, CA Datacom/DB 15.0

Cause

Message DB00607I indicates a conflict in the process of the command:

ACCESS STATUS=UTLTY,USERS=FAIL

 

ACCESS UTLTY means:

This access level allows update access to this database by DBUTLTY and denies access to all applications that are not DBUTLTY.

 

If you have any CICS or other activities attached to MUF (like Accounting - ***ACTNG task here), then you have to close any open tables.When falling back, your environment must be minimal. 

 

Resolution

Resolution is to close any bases open in the MUF environment.

Here, the message indicates that the ACCOUNTING tables must be closed to process that command.
