Re: CPF377F Save ended. Unable to reach checkpoint.

Correct. The problem is the system has no way to honor the *LIB portion of the save, getting all the objects in the library to a checkpoint. So, there are three ways to fix that, one: end all activity in that library during the save, two: make sure the object is journaled and exclude it from the save, or three: just continue to ignore it until you do a full restricted state save when you would get the object to tape.

Then again, I would ask why such a hard lock is on one or more objects in the first place. That’s where I would spend my time, removing those dependencies.

Whatever you decide, plan on a test recovery to see if it really works as intended.

Thanks Rob

Scanning these links I found no way to by-pass
the CPF377F Save ended. Unable to reach checkpoint.

Right?

Hello guys

In the last couple of months there were 3 failures of a nightly SAVLIB
LIB(*ALLUSR).
The CMD was
SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSR) DEV(TAP01) ENDOPT(*LEAVE) SAVACT(*LIB) PVTAUT(*YES)
OMITLIB(WWLLIBD QSRVAGT DWHD URPS)

The error was: CPF377F Save ended. Unable to reach checkpoint.

Looking for CPI8365/CPI836B in DSPLOG, I found:
CPI8365 99 INFO Save-while-active request requires commit or rollback for
job 429718/QUSER/QZDASOINIT

Now,
is there a way to prevent such failures when executing a SAVLIB with
SAVACT(*LIB)?
What I aim to is receiving something akin to the MSGs received for locked
objects
CPF3761 Cannot use XXX in Library YYY

and then CPF3771 999 objects saved from LIBXXX. 3 not saved.

at the end of the save operation.


Can it be done?


TIA


Gad
