Some STORE, RESTORE and VSTORE errors cause the program not to store, restore, or verify a particular file. Others cause the program to stop running. When STORE, RESTORE or VSTORE cannot transfer files that you named in your command, it lists the names of those files on your terminal as part of its standard progress listing.

When STORE or VSTORE aborts because of an error, you see specific error messages followed by a general error message (which is the same for both commands):

   STORE ABORTED BECAUSE OF ERROR

When RESTORE aborts because of an error, you see specific error messages followed by a general error message:

   RESTORE ABORTED BECAUSE OF ERROR (CIERR 1091)

You can use the STOREJCW job control word (JCW) to determine the cause of an error and a proper recovery procedure. Each time you issue a STORE or RESTORE command, the system updates the value assigned to STOREJCW.

When STOREJCW is equal to 0, the command executed successfully. STOREJCW values greater than 0 alert you to the cause of an error.

NOTE: Issuing the VSTORE command also results in the system updating the value assigned to STOREJCW.

Viewing the Value of STOREJCW

To view the value assigned to STOREJCW, use the following SHOWVAR command:

   :SHOWVAR STOREJCW

The system reports the current value. For example:

   STOREJCW=4

Determining the Cause of an Error

The value of STOREJCW after you issue a STORE, RESTORE, or VSTORE command tells you the cause of any errors in storing, restoring, or verifying the files you named. To determine the cause of an error:

  1. Use the SHOWVAR command to view the value of STOREJCW.

  2. Look up that value in Table A-1 “STOREJCW Values”. In addition to the cause of an error, Table A-1 “STOREJCW Values” displays recommended recovery procedures.

Table A-1 STOREJCW Values

ValueCauseRecovery Procedure
0No errors.None.
1Syntax error.Correct and reenter command.
2Error in opening system resource allocation.Purge some files or perform disk space recovery.
3Error in opening an indirect file.Does the indirect file you named exist? Do you have adequate access to it? Is it in use? Is the redirect file an EDIT file?
4Error in opening the file.Is the FILE command describing the correct device? Is the media on the device you named? Unload and reload the media. If you are restoring or verifying files, check whether or not you have adequate access to them.
5Error scanning the files.Make sure the file names are syntactically correct and correctly spelled.
6Error in actually storing, restoring, or verifying files.Enter the command again. After a second failure, contact your system manager.
7A file you attempted to store does not exist on disk, or a file you attempted to restore or verify does not exist in the STORE files, or the system could not find files that matched the pattern you specified (for example, FEB@).Did you name the files correctly in the STORE, RESTORE, or VSTORE command? Do the files you want to store, restore, or verify exist?
8A file that you tried to store, restore, or verify was in use, or unable to quiesce a certain TurboIMAGE database. See the $STDLIST for further information. Wait until the file is no longer in use. Enter the command again. STORE may have timed out trying to quiesce an open transaction.
9Media Manager Service error encountered.Check the STORE listing for the media manager error message. Look up the message in Appendix A of the Magneto-Optical Media Manager User's Guide (36398-90001) and follow the suggested action.

 

A complete listing of all possible STORE and RESTORE errors, along with the probable cause and recommended action can be found in the MPE/iX Error Messages Manual Volumes I, II and III (32650-60016).
