Incident: the data is on disk, but the catalog has forgotten it
PAGE 02:10 SEV2 - Job GLNIGHT ended JCL ERROR Storage team 01:40: user catalog restored from Sunday's backup after a volume problem; entries added since Sunday are missing
After a volume problem, the storage team restored the user catalog from Sunday's backup. Data sets created since then are still on their volumes but have no catalog entry. GLNIGHT now fails with a JCL error. The storage team's report STORAGE.REPORT.VOLLIST lists what is on the volumes without a catalog entry. Catalog what GLNIGHT needs and get the report out. A job skeleton is in LEARNER.JCL(RECAT).
What you will do
- Read the JCL error
- Check the catalog and the storage report
- Recatalog with IDCAMS, rerun
