Troubleshooting the data migration

 

This information describes specific problems that might occur when you migrate data.

Error messages and reference codes (also known as system reference codes or SRCs) let you know that an error occurred during the process.

Table 1. Data migration problems and resolutions

Description	Resolution
SRC A900 2000 appears on the control panel display.	This SRC appears if the QIPLTYPE is set to 2 or if there is no device description for the console display. This SRC and message are normal during the data migration procedure. The SRC will disappear when you perform a normal IPL. If no workstation on your system is operational when you receive SRC A900 2000, call your service provider.
You see Message ID CPF3717: File not selected. File label or file name mismatch for file filename.	This type of message occurs most frequently when the incorrect tape is inserted into the tape drive or when you have incorrect parameters for the RESTORE command.
Job scheduler entries are not restored on the target system when you migrate from an iSeries™ system that does not support V5R4.	You must manually re-create the job scheduler entries on the target system. If you did not print these entries before you migrated your data, you can get them from the source system.
The target system cannot read the tapes you used to save the data from your source system.	Save the data from the source system using a tape drive that is compatible with the target system.
You cannot configure your twinaxial devices.	If you are using a twinaxial console on the source system and using Operations Console on the target system, have a twinaxial controller for any twinaxial devices you plan to run from the target system.

For more information, see the preventive service planning (PSP) document. The PSP document for V5R3 data migrations is SF98167. This PSP document describes High-Impact and PERvasive (HIPER) problems.
