Incident: DATA SET NOT FOUND in the ledger report

INC21301 · 03:30 · MPSYS
PAGE 03:30 SEV3 - Job GLRPT ended JCL ERROR
Operator note 23:10: GLEXT held for disk maintenance, released 03:20

Two jobs build the ledger report: GLEXT extracts today's postings into LEARNER.GL.EXTRACT, then GLRPT sorts the extract into LEARNER.GL.REPORT. Tonight an operator held GLEXT for maintenance, but GLRPT still ran on time. Get a correct report.

What you will do

  1. Read the JCL error
  2. Find which job should have created the data set
  3. Run the jobs in the right order
