MIMIX reports user journal replication errors for files as status on the associated data group file entry. This status is also reported at the data group level in a consolidated form.
File replication problems are categorized as follows:
- Held due to error - If a journal transaction is not replicated successfully, the file entry is placed in *HLDERR status. This indicates a problem that must be resolved.
- Held for other reasons - File entries can also be placed in a variety of other held statuses by user action or by MIMIX. Generally, these statuses are also considered problems; some are transitional conditions that resolve automatically while others require user action. To determine if there are files on hold for other reasons, use the procedure in Displaying detailed status for a data group.
For information about resolving problems with IFS objects and library-based objects that are replicated by user journal, see Working with tracking entries.
