Re: Backup command error: Labels Not Found While Processing File

Can't find the end of volume file labels from previous saved file to 
append with the SEQNBR(*END) because the previous save aborted and didn't 
close the tape file properly.  Depending on whether the drive supports it 
or not you could strart the SAVLIB *ALLUSR again by saving 
SAVLIB *ALLUSR STRLIB(QUSRINFSKR)  SEQNBR(151) CLEAR(*ALL) 
- some drives only support overwrite with SEQNBR(1)

So yes, it's a carry over from the previous save failure.

File


I'm getting the following error in my backup joblog.

"Labels Not Found While Processing File".

I'm using the IBM LTO Tape Drive and running a batch CLP with the 
following commands, as shown directly (in boldface) from the joblog:

Message . . . . :    16600 - SAVLIB LIB(*ALLUSR) DEV(TAP02) SEQNBR('1') 
ENDOPT(*LEAVE) CLEAR(*ALL) SAVACT(*LIB) SAVACTWAIT(30) 

The last libraries saved by this command are QS36F, then QUSRINFSKR with 
the following:

Message . . . . :   1 objects saved from library QUSRINFSKR.  
Cause . . . . . :   1 objects were saved on volumes MPSAVE sequence number 
151 at 06/24/01 01:10:02.  The save operation ended on volume MPSAVE. If 
UPDHST(*YES) was specified, the save/restore history was updated unless 
otherwise indicated by the previously listed messages.

Then the following appears:

     06/24/01   01:40:30   QTAERR         QSYS        0114     QTACLOSE  
QSY 
Message . . . . :   Processing not complete for volume MPSAVE on device 
TAP02. 
Cause . . . . . :   Output tape for file QSYSTAP in library QSYS could not 
be closed normally after at least 0 blocks were written in file sequence 
number 152. Ending labels, tape marks, or both may be missing from the 
volume. Processing this file for input may return data that is not correct 
or the tape may run off the end of the reel. Recovery  . . . :   Try the 
request again. 
 
     06/24/01   01:40:30   QSRSVDEQ       QSYS        02F6     QSREVTHD  
QSY 
Message . . . . :   Save and restore file on media is not complete.  
Cause . . . . . :   The save function ended abnormally before all data was 
written to the media.  File QUSRSYS is not complete.  The file is on 
volume MPSAVE. Recovery  . . . :   Do not use file QUSRSYS for restoring, 
or the restore may not end normally. See message CPF377F for corrective 
action.  If you were performing a SAVSYS, you will not be able to restore 
the operating system from this backup media.  
 
The next command is:

Message . . . . :    18900 - SAVLIB LIB(*IBM) DEV(TAP02) SEQNBR(*END) 
ENDOPT(*LEAVE) CLEAR(*ALL) SAVACT(*NO) 
    06/24/01   01:43:32   QTAERR         QSYS        0114     BKPLIBTAP 
Message . . . . :   Labels not found while processing file. 

Would this error be due to the fact that QUSRSYS was not fully saved and 
the error is a carry-over ?

I get the same error with all of the following commands:

 Message . . . . :    20400 - SAVCFG DEV(TAP02) SEQNBR(*END) 
ENDOPT(*LEAVE) CLEAR(*ALL)  
     06/24/01   01:48:17   QTAERR         QSYS        0114     BKPLIBTAP 
 Message . . . . :   Labels not found while processing file. 

 Message . . . . :    21600 - SAVSECDTA DEV(TAP02) SEQNBR(*END) 
ENDOPT(*LEAVE)  CLEAR(*ALL)  
     06/24/01   01:53:13   QTAERR         QSYS        0114     BKPLIBTAP  
UTI
 Message . . . . :   Labels not found while processing file.  

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Jerry Kern
