INVEXT Extent number 'number' exceeds maximum (255) of structure level
Explanation

The extent number you specified exceeds the maximum number of extents available for this structure level of the disk section. The maximum available for structure level 1 and 2 is 255 extents.

Action

To have more then 255 extents you have to use a structure level 3 disk section, which is created using the INITIALIZE function of the Version 3.1 ADADEV. This message can appear if you created your database with a pre-Version 3.1 version of Adabas and you now want to take advantage of the increased maximum extents offered by Version 3.1. Before you can use this Version 3.1 feature, the disk section has to be re-initialized. This involves also moving all existing container files and database sequential files from the disk section to a temporary location (using Version 3.1 ADADEV MOVE), then resetting the disk section (with Version 3.1 ADADEV RESET), then initializing (with Version 3.1 ADADEV INITIALIZE). Then you can move the container files and database sequential files back into the disk section.

Explanation

An I/O error occurred (probably due to a bad block).

Action

Check the system error log file to determine whether a hardware problem has occurred.


IOSUBERR IO subsystem error ('number'/'number'): 'text'
Explanation

An error occurred in the IO subsystem of Adabas. The numbers contain an internal error identification, and the text contains a short description of the error.

Action

The action depends on the short description of the error. For example, the error "Buffer too small for read" may be caused by using a CMPIN file that contains data incompatible with the FDT or with the ADACMP FIELDS, RECORD_STRUCTURE or SOURCE_ARCHITECTURE parameters specified. Then, some user data can be interpreted as record length, and a value larger than the length of the IO buffer used in ADACMP may occur. In this case, using the correct FDT or ADACMP FIELDS, RECORD_STRUCTURE or SOURCE_ARCHITECTURE parameters solves the problem.

If the short description doesn't help you to solve the problem, contact your nearest support center with details about the running utility, the environment, the disk configuration and the numbers given in the message.

  • Restore and regenerate the file and contact your nearest support center.


IREMUQ SET_UQ abort, resetting UQ on all repeated descriptors
Explanation

The ADAINV SET_UQ function was aborted because duplicate values were detected, therefore the unique status was not set on all of the requested descriptors.

Action

The unique status can only be set after the uniqueness conflicts have been removed. If you run the ADAINV SET_UQ function with option UQ_CONFLICT=RESET, you will get the INVERR file describing all uniqueness conflicts.

ISNNLS USER_ISN not allowed if NEWLINE_SEPARATOR keyword selected
Explanation

If NEWLINE_SEPARATOR is specified, ADACMP only expects data of type alpha or unpacked because binary data like USER_ISN could contain the newline byte.

Action

None.


ISNUSED ISN already in use
Explanation

When adding records to a file by USERISN, a duplicated ISN was detected. Duplicated ISNs may occur if the input file was created by ADAULD using a descriptor defined with the MU option to control the unloading sequence or when adding records to a non-empty file.

LABLINV Last raw section block invalid
Explanation

With previous Adabas releases, it was possible for one more block to be allocated in a raw section than was actually available. This message indicates that this has happened.

Action

If the error is displayed for a database container, create a database backup. As long as the last block has not yet been used, the backup can be created without errors. Then deallocate the database containers, recreate the database, and restore the backup. If creating the backup failed because the last block was already in use, delete the database, recreate the database, restore the database from the last successfully created backup, and recover all updates made since the time when the backup was created.

If the error is displayed for a sequential file, the last block of the sequential file is usually no longer readable. Take care to ensure that the sequential file is no longer required, for example, if it is a PLOG, create a new backup. Then deallocate the sequential file.


LBPLIC Parameter LBP restricted by licensing, original LBP='number', now LBP='number'
Explanation

The requested buffer pool size is greater than allowed by the license. The database is started with the maximum allowed LBP.

Action

To avoid this message, reduce the LBP parameter to the given value or upgrade your license.

Action

Try "DBID=<dbid>" again to re-enable nucleus parameter modification.


NORDONL starting nucleus in read-only mode not permitted
Explanation

The start of a read-only nucleus failed because a utility updating the data base was active.

A read-only nucleus expects that no modifications to the data base can occur during the nucleus run. As this was not possible (because utilities were updating the data base) the start of the nucleus was aborted.

A nucleus run is considered to be read-only if either the access permissions to at least ASSO1 are read-only or if the session parameter OPTIONS=READONLY is set.

Action

Retry to start the read-only nucleus when the utility causing the conflict has terminated.

NOTALB not able to allocate 'number' block(s)
Explanation

ADADBM's ALLOCATE function cannot allocate the specified space.

In particular, you get this error in the following cases:

  • There is not enough space available with the required block size. For example, the block size for a new DATA storage extent for a file must not be less than the maximum block size that is already in use for the file's DATA storage.

  • You specified a RABN and this RABN is already in use, or the free space at this RABN is less than the size required.

  • You specified a RABN and the block size of this RABN cannot be used, for example, because it is less than the maximum block size already in use for the file when you allocate DATA storage.

Action

Check the free space table for available space.


NOTALLAD DATA storage exhausted - not all records added
Explanation

Not all records could be added to the file by ADAMUP because there is no more space available in the DATA container.

Action

Either provide additional DATA space (ADADBM EXTEND_CONTAINER or ADADBM ADD_CONTAINER), or delete one or more existing files (ADADBM DELETE) or deallocate some DATA space for one or more existing files (ADADBM DEALLOCATE). Afterwards you can add the missing data with ADAMUP. In order to prevent data from being added twice, you must specify SKIPREC as the number of records already added (see the message ADDREC displayed before the message NOTALLAD), plus the previous value of SKIPREC. If you specified a value for NUMREC, you must reduce the value of the NUMREC parameter by the number of records already added.

PLOGLIC Parameter PLOG restricted by licensing, original PLOG=set, now PLOG=disabled
Explanation

The license does not let you run the database with a protection log, so logging is disabled.

Action

To avoid this message, start the database with NOPLOG or upgrade your license.


PLOGSW PLOG switch failed.
Explanation

A PLOG switch failed because not all blocks could be written to the old PLOG file. In particular, this may happen if the PLOG is stored on a remote file system. For performance reasons, the write error is not noticed during the write operation of the first block that cannot be written to the file, but rather for a subsequent I/O command.

Action

Do not specify either of the nucleus parameters UNBUFFERED=(...,NOPLOG) and UNBUFFERED=CLEAR - in this case, file synchronisation is performed after writing each PLOG block, and it is no longer possible to loose blocks that are written to the old PLOG. However, if you prefer to use UNBUFFERED=(...,PLOG), you must prevent the the file system that contains the PLOG from becoming full, for example by initiating a PLOG switch after a given amount of time.


PLOGWRER PLOG write error
Explanation

The write to the PLOG failed. Together with this message, some other messages are printed describing the kind of error that occurred.

Action

Assign the PLOG to a file system or raw device with enough free space and without I/O problems, and restart the nucleus.

Note:
In particular, if this error occurs because of an I/O error, it may also happen that parts of the PLOG, which are located in front of the PLOG block that could not be written, are corrupted. Therefore, it is recommended to create a new backup as soon as possible, in order to guarantee that no data are lost if a restore/regenerate is required.

This message is displayed on Linux platforms only. The adanuc process received a signal from another process, the process ID and the UID of the process which sent the signal are logged.

Action

Check if the system logs contain any hint of a resource shortage (e.g. system is out of memory). If the operating system observes a resource shortage, the systemd process could send a SIGTERM signal to the adanuc process. The adanuc log file would then show this particular error message that the adanuc process received a signal 15 sent by the process with process id 1 (systemd) and UID root. Increasing the amount of (virtual) memory might solve the issue, we recommend contacting the support of the operating system vendor.

UBFERR Database 'number' previous session aborted during buffer flush
Explanation

The Autorestart has detected that the previous nucleus session aborted during a buffer flush.

If the nucleus had been started with AR_CONFLICT=ABORT, the autorestart will abort, otherwise it will continue. If the nucleus abort occurred due to a power failure or an I/O error, it is possible that the database is in an inconsistent state. We recommend you to verify the database using ADAVFY and ADAINV VERIFY in this case.

Action

If the autorestart aborts due to AR_CONFLICT=ABORT, you can either:

  • redo the autorestart by setting AR_CONFLICT=CONTINUE (see the explanation above), or

  • restore and regenerate the database. This should only be done if the nucleus abort occurred during a power failure or an I/O error, and ADAINV or ADAVFY reports errors.


UCBGERR UCB not available
Explanation

The UCB is not available.

Action

Contact your nearest support center.


UCBNREM unable to remove UCB entry and/or write offline checkpoint
Explanation

The utility was not able in its final phase to write the necessary checkpoint and/or to clean up its UCB entry. Nevertheless the utility will terminate successfully.

However, the following risks exist:

  • One reason why the UCB entry could not be removed may be the the UCB entry had already been removed by ADADBM RESET UCB. In this case, the file was no longer protected against usage by other utilities or the nucleus. If another utility or the nucleus modified the file before the utility writing the UCBNREM message was finished, the file may be corrupted.

  • If the checkpoint could not be written, and you do a restore/regenerate later, you may forget to re-execute the utility because you don't see the checkpoint - this can result in a corrupted database.

Action

Verify with ADAVFY and ADAINV VERIFY that the file is still consistent if a parallel update of the file may have happened. Take care to ensure that the re-execution of the utility is not forgotten if a restore/regenerate is required later.


UEXABO aborted in userexit, input record: 'number'
Explanation

ULDCORE Skipping corrupted record, block 'number', isn 'number'
Explanation

The DATA record with that ISN contains corrupted fields. This record will not be written to the unload output file.

Action

If the corrupted file is in the database it should be deleted and reloaded with ADAMUP. The missing data can be investigated by dumping the DATA RABN with the corrupted record. Or run ADAULD with the SHORT option and then decompress with ADADCU. The corrupted record will be filtered out to the DCUERR file.


ULDCORR Skipping DATA block 'number' with corrupted record
Explanation

During the unload a corrupted DATA block with RABN 'number' is deleted. The unload will skip those blocks and continue.

Action

Because there were corruptions the unloaded file should be decompressed to find more inconsistencies. If the corrupted file is in the database it should be deleted and reloaded with ADAMUP. The missing data can be investigated by dumping the corrupted DATA RABN.

UNXEOF "file": Unexpected end of file
Explanation

The block size of the last block found on the file is larger than the number of bytes that follow. Either the file has a different record structure than assumed, or the file is incomplete.

Action

You must be aware that the file is not correct, however it may be possible to use the data in the file before the position where the error occurs. For example, if a CMPIN file was truncated, you can compress the records that are still available on the file.

WMFEXP Format type W is not supported to export for mainframe
Explanation

If ADASCR is used to export security-by-value definitions from an open systems platform to a mainframe platform, this warning occurs if the search buffer of an access or an update criterion or both contains W formatted entries. The W format is not supported on mainframe platforms in security-by-value definitions. If only one defined access or update criterion contains W formatted entries, the other one will be exported; if both contain W formatted entries, the defined security-by-value definition will be ignored.

Action

If the rejected security-by-value criterion also contains other fields, manually add a new security-by-value criterion that contains these other fields to the export file so that these other fields can be checked. The checks for the W field must be made in the application on the mainframe platform.
