Module: ACQPP

AZS101E "SORT" STATEMENT IN //SORTCNTL - ABORTING

Meaning: A //SORTCNTL DDNAME was found which contained a “SORT” statement. This is probably due to the use of Acquire v7 JCL. //SORTCNTL can be used to set user-specific SORT options, but not to set the order in which data is to be sorted. This is now internal to Acquire. Acquire will terminate with a return code of 16.

Module: ACQPP

AZS102E DDNAME OF //xxxxxxxx IS MISSING FROM JCL

Meaning: The printed DDNAME is missing from the JCL. This can be caused by:

A control card of CICSRESP=Y was provided but there is no CICSRESP DDNAME

A control card of PUSHFTP=Y was provided but there is no PUSHFTP DDNAME

A control card of WHS=Y or WHS=R was provided but there is no WAREHSE DDNAME

Module: ACQPP

AZS103I INPUT PARAMETERS FROM <source>

Meaning: <source> is either GLOBAL or //PARMDATA. This indicates that parameters from either the ACQUIREG global defaults module (if customized) or from user control cards follow.

3=a character with a hex value greater than x'F9' (a '9') has been found
4=the DYNAGDG= operand is more than 35 characters long
5= after the DYNAGDG=dataset name is not blank, 'INFO' or 'NOINFO'
LOAD OF IGGCSI00 FAILED, RC=XXXXXXXX RSN=XXXXXXXX
The IBM IGGCSI00 module failed to be LOADed. The return code and reason can be found in the appropriate IBM z/
OS Assembler Services manual.
LISTCAT FOR DYNAGDG= FAILED, MODULE=XX RC=XX RSN=XX
The invocation of the IBM IGGCSI00 module produced this error. The meaning can be found in the IBM Catalog Management
manual.
INVALID TIME ADJUSTMENT <n>
The TIMEADJUST= parameter is incorrect: <n> is 1 if the first character is not ‘+’ or ‘-’, 2 if the hour part is outside of
the range 00 to 12 inclusive, or 3 if the minute part is not 00, 30 or 45. These are the only permitted minute offsets. No
time zone in the world uses any other value.

Module: ACQPP

AZS106E TARGET= MISSING, AT LEAST ONE IS REQUIRED

Meaning: No TARGET= control cards were read. Acquire needs at least one to continue

Module: ACQPP

AZS107E USSPATH= IS LONGER THAN 64 CHARACTERS

Meaning: A USSPATH= control was provided but exceeded an internal limit of 64 characters

Module: ACQPP

AZS108E USSPATH= PARAMETER WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH USSONLY=Y

Meaning: A parameter of USSONLY=Y was provided but Acquire cannot write to USS without a control card of USSPATH= to tell it where to put data.

Module: ACQPP

AZS109W PARAMETER NO LONGER IN USE AND IS IGNORED

Meaning: A parameter was provided that has been dropped from use. The run continues.

Module: ACQPP

AZS110W NO CICS RESPONSE TIMES WILL BE PRODUCED AS CICS=N

Meaning: CICSRESP=Y was specified with CICS=N. The CICS response time file will not be produced. The run continues.

Module: ACQPP

AZS111W DD=Y IS IN EFFECT WITH RUNTYPE=MULTI 

 - VERY LARGE WORK FILES MAY BE REQUIRED

Meaning: A parameter of DD=Y was provided or defaulted with a RUNTYPE=MULTI. This can require very large work files to hold details of I/O per­formed to all disks by jobs for Planner workload components. The run continues.

Module: ACQPP

AZS113E EXCLUDE PARAMETER FORMAT ERROR <n>

Meaning: An EXCLUDECICS or EXCLUDEDB2 control card was provided but was found to be in error. Values and meanings of <n> are:

  1. No left parenthesis found
  2. SMFID too long - must be from 1 to 4 characters only
  3.  APPLID or DB2 subsystem name too long - must be from 1 to 8 characters only

Module: ACQPP

AZS115E NO RMF TYPE 70/72 RECORDS MATCH SELEC­TION CRITERIA

Meaning: A collect run found no SMF type 70 or 72 records to match any TAR­GET=

Module: ACQRUN

AZS117W ONE OR MORE INTERVALS WERE EXCLUDED DUE TO INCOMPLETE DATA

Meaning: The input data contained data for an RMF interval that was not “finished” with a type 70 record, for example if data being processed runs from 08:00 - 12:00, and records are read beyond 12:00, they will be excluded. They may be saved into the warehouse file if present and WHS=Y is in effect.

Module: ACQCRUN

AZS118W RUNTYPE NOT SPECIFIED - RUNTYPE=SCAN IS ASSUMED

Meaning: No RUNTYPE= control card was provided, so a SCAN will be per­formed.

Module: ACQPP

AZS119W DD=N FORCED BECAUSE OF WORKLOAD=NONE SETTING

Meaning: A control card of WORKLOAD=NONE was provided with DD=Y. DD=N has been set and no SMF type 30 DD records will be processed, because they are only used when WORKLOAD=SERVICE or =REPORT is in effect . The run continues.

Module: ACQPP

AZS120I ACQUIRE FOR Z/OS Vvv.mm.rr (ddmmyy) - SCAN REPORT ddMMMyy hh:mm:ss

Meaning: Version and date details for a SCAN report.

Module: ACQSRUN

AZS121W INTROUND=N IS FORCED WITH JOBS=x

Meaning: The parameter JOBS=x was provided to collect job detail. This must run with INTROUND=N to avoid inaccuracies in output data, so this option has been set by Acquire.

Module: ACQPP

AZS122I COLLECT IS NO LONGER USED, USE RUNTYPE=MULTI INSTEAD

Meaning: The parameter RUNTYPE=COLLECT was provided to capture and process data from z/OS. This option has been retired and is automatically translated to RUNTYPE=MULTI.

Module: ACQPP

AZS122W OPERAND NO LONGER IN USE, DEFAULT REMAINS SET

Meaning: The parameter printed above this message is no longer in use. Whatever default exists for this parameter will remain in place.

Module: ACQPP

AZS123I DYNRETxx=0, DYNAMIC ALLOCATION WILL NOT RETRY

Meaning: Two parameters control the retrying of a specific dynamic allocation failure (x'0210' - resource in use). For this run, DYNRETCT=0 and DYNRETWT=<n> or DYNRETCT=<n> and DYNRETWT=0 is in effect. Both parameters must be set to a value between 1–9 to enable the feature, but for this run, retrying of dynamic allocation failures will not be done.

Module: ACQPP

AZS124E DYNAXXX= AND DYNALAST= TOGETHER EXCEEDS 44 CHARACTERS

Meaning: This message is produced when DYNAGDG=<stem> or DYNADSN=<stem> has been specified with DYNALAST=<suffix>. The length of the stem and the suffix strings exceeds 44 characters and therefore cannot be used to create a valid z/OS dataset name. Acquire will end with return code 8.

Module: ACQPP

AZS128W CICSRESP=x REQUESTED - NO SMF TYPE 110 RECORDS MATCH SELECTION CRITERIA

Meaning: A COLLECT or MULTI run was requested to produce CICS response times but no CICS data was found for any TARGET= control card.

Module: ACQRUN

AZS130I SCAN RUN COMPLETED [ - n SHORT INTERVALS DETECTED]

Meaning: A SCAN run has completed successfully. If the SHORT INTERVALS text is printed it refers to the number of RMF intervals found to be shorter than 60 seconds, that would be ignored by Control Center.

Module: ACQRUN

AZS137I SUMMARY OF RECORDS BY TYPE FOR EACH SYS­TEM ID

Meaning: Header for the following messages which will detail by SMF record type and subtype of how many were found for each system in the input data

Module: ACQSRUN

AZS147W * WARNING * <n> SHORT INTERVALS DETECTED, SEE //MULTLIST

Meaning: A COLLECT run has detected one or more of RMF intervals that are shorter than the 60 second minimum that can be reported on by Syncsort™ Capacity Management Core applications. Check the MULTLIST report to see the details of these intervals. Often this is the result of the implementation of new RMF parameters, or by the restarting of the RMF address space. The return code is set to 4 and the run continues.

Module: ACQRUN

AZS148W * WARNING * <n> TYPE 70 RECORDS WITH ZERO CPS

Meaning: A COLLECT or MULTI run has detected a number of SMF type 70 records intervals that appear to have no CPUs. This suggests that the data is corrupt or otherwise unusable and the intervals these records represent are dis­carded. The return code is set to 4 and the run continues.

Module: ACQRUN

AZS149W

AZS179W SYSTEM(S) FOUND WITH DATA TOO OLD FOR THIS ACQUIRE

Meaning: Some systems had data that was too old for this version of Acquire to process.

Module: ACQRUN

AZS181I READING xxx DATA FROM dataset-name

Meaning: A SCAN run is reading xxx data (SMF or TMON) from dataset-name. For SMF data, this message is triggered when Acquire reads a type 70 record. For TMON data, the dataset name is checked every 5,000 input records and any change reported in this message. It’s possible that Acquire will miss reporting a dataset name if it contains a small amount of data, but it will have read and processed all files concatenated to the //SMFDATA file name.

Module: ACQSRUN

AZS189E //ATHDATA CANNOT BE COMPRESSED, ABORT­ING. CMP=XX

Meaning: The //ATHDATA output file for Acquire for z/OS must not be subject to data compression as it must be opened and updated in place. The CMP=xx value indicates the type of compression that would have been performed:01=Generic compression 02=Tailored compression 03=z/EDC.

Module: ACQSRUN

AZS268W tttttttt/ssss NO H.I.S "type" COUNTERS ARE PRES­ENT

Meaning: For target tttttttt, SMF ID ssss, type 113 SMF records were processed but they did not contain any counters of the type listed - BASIC, PROBLEM, CRYPTO or EXTENDED. These are necessary for Acquire to generate useful metrics for Syncsort™ Capacity Management and as they are missing, no data can be produced. If BASIC counters are missing, no data will be written at all since all HIS metrics rely on these.

Module: ACQCE113

AZS270E //WORK04 DDNAME MISSING FROM JCL, ABORTING

Meaning: Acquire for z/OS has found data from Acquire/DASD (by default SMF record type 188) but the//WORK04 work file is not present in the JCL. Acquire will terminate with a return code of 8.

Module: ACQCEDMN
