When resolving problems for a file that is in *HLDERR state, a MIMIX administrator may find it useful to examine the journal entries that are being held by MIMIX.
Although you can determine why a file is in error from either the source or target system, to view the actual journal entries, you must be on the target system. If you attempt to view the journal entries from the source system, MIMIX will indicate that you are on the incorrect system to view the information.
Do the following:
From the subsetted list of files in error for a data group on the Work with DG File Entries display, type 20 (Work with file error entries) next to the file entry you want and press Enter.
The Work with DG FE on Hold display appears. A variety of information about the transaction appears on the display.
- Locate the transaction that caused the file to be placed on hold. Use the Position to field to position the list to a specific sequence number.
- Select the option you want to use on the journal transaction from the following
table:
Table 1. Options available from the Work with DG FE on Hold display. 2=Change
You can change the contents or characteristics of the journal entry. Use this option with caution. Any changes can affect the validity of data in the journal entry.
4=Delete
You can delete the journal entry.
5=Display
You can display details for the specified journal entry associated with the data group file entry in question.
9=Immediate apply
You can immediately apply a transaction that has caused a file to go on hold. The entry you selected is immediately applied to the file outside of the apply process. If the apply is successful, the error/hold entry that was applied is removed from the error/hold log. However, if the apply fails, a message is issued and the entry remains in the error/hold log. This process does not release the file; it only applies the selected entry.
