Incident: the rerun fails with a duplicate name

INC21318 · 05:05 · MPSYS
PAGE 05:05 SEV3 - Job PAYBKUP rerun ended JCL ERROR
The 23:00 run of PAYBKUP was cancelled by an operator during a volume problem

PAYBKUP copies the payment input to LEARNER.PAY.BACKUP. The 23:00 run was cancelled half-way during a volume problem. The scheduler's automatic rerun at 05:00 failed with a JCL error. Get a complete backup and make sure a cancelled run cannot block the next one again.

What you will do

  1. Read IGD17101I
  2. Remove what the cancelled run left behind
  3. Make the job safe to rerun
