Re: QSYS2/SYSIXADV - Damaged -- MIDRANGE-L

Afternoon All,

I cannot follow the steps to recover QSYS2/SYSIXADV because the file is in use and locked

As per this page.

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-recover-damaged-sysixadv-file
How to Recover from a Damaged SYSIXADV File - IBM<https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-recover-damaged-sysixadv-file>
Resolving The Problem. The Index Advisor file used when the optimizer determines that a permanent index might be beneficial - and it returns the key columns necessary to create the suggested index into QSYS2/SYSIXADV.
www.ibm.com

The first set of instructions will not work as I get an error saying Cannot allocate object SYSIXADV

and I cannot DLTF the files as SYSIXADV is in use.

the output of WRKOBJLCK is as follows:

Work with Object Locks
System: DEEPBLUE
Object . . . . : SYSIXADV Type . . . . . : *FILE-PHY
Library . . : QSYS2 ASP device . . : *SYSBAS

Type options, press Enter.
4=End job 5=Work with job 8=Work with job locks

Opt Job User Lock Status Scope Thread
QDBSRV04 QSYS *SHRRD HELD *JOB
*SHRRD HELD *JOB

It's been sat like that now for a good 48 hours and QDBSRV04 is a System job so I can't use 4 to end it

I can't complete the steps to recover this unless I can release the lock and I cannot release the lock.

How do I sort this?

I have already tried these steps,

If the previous steps do not work due to locks, you can also try the following steps:

1. ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_NO_INDEX_ADVICE) VALUE('') LEVEL(*SYS)
2. IPL
3. Repeat the DLTF steps if needed
4. RMVENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_NO_INDEX_ADVICE) LEVEL(*SYS)
5. IPL

But the result is the same I still cannot delete the file as its locked by QDBSRV04

Thanis
Chris

Subject: QSYS2/SYSIXADV - Damaged

Evening All,

Okay so I resolved my initial issue with QSYS2/SYSROUTINE, did a SAV21 (KEEP THIS)

Then I installed a cumulative ptf, now I have a problem with QSYS2/SYSIXADV

Tried to follow the instructions here https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-recover-damaged-sysixadv-file
How to Recover from a Damaged SYSIXADV File - IBM<https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-recover-damaged-sysixadv-file>
Resolving The Problem. The Index Advisor file used when the optimizer determines that a permanent index might be beneficial - and it returns the key columns necessary to create the suggested index into QSYS2/SYSIXADV.
www.ibm.com

When I do step one I get "Cannot allocate object SYSIXADV"

I then tried the second set intructions for if locks caused a problem

But after doing step 1 and 2 the system still won't let me delete QSYS2/SYSIXADV claiming it is locked.

using WRKOBJLCK it appears to be locked by QDBSRV05 I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

Can someone tell me.

Thanks Chris
