Recovering from errors on event data sets

About this task

If an event data set (EQQEVDS or EQQHTTP0) has been damaged, follow this procedure:

Procedure

  1. Stop any HCL Workload Automation for Z subsystem that is writing to or reading from the data set.
  2. Rename the event data set, and allocate a new data set.
  3. Start HCL Workload Automation for Z again.
    Note: The first time HCL Workload Automation for Z is started with a newly allocated event data set, an SD37 error occurs when HCL Workload Automation for Z formats the data set. Expect this; do not treat it as an error.
  4. Enter the Modify Current Plan dialog, and check the status of operations in the current plan. Concentrate on automatically reporting workstations whose events were written to the damaged event data set. If any discrepancies are found, set the correct status for the operation. It is unlikely that you will have lost any events.
