Blu Age L3 Workshop - Execution - Test - Batch

Question

When doing Blu Age L3 workshop in Execution Test-Batch, in the step of executing the batch chain, when running the TRANBKP job the first time, in the working directory the expected files have been created, but when I checked the Blusam dataset, AWS_M2_CARDDEMO_TRANSACT_VSAM_KSDS has disappeared.

I checked the eclipse console and the batch ran correctly.

As it says to check that bluesam dataset TRANSACT is cleared, I considered that it was not an error that it had been deleted.

I then ran the POSTTRAN job but this time it did not generate the expected AWS.M2.CARDDEMO.DALYREJS.G0027V0 file in the working directory. I checked the eclipse console and this job ran correctly too, no error.

Please, what is the possible cause of this problem and how can I solve it? Can I re-create the dataset from LISTCAT as indicated in step 7 in Data Migration>Datasets>VSAM KSDS and re-run the TRANSACT and POSTTRAN jobs again? Is it necessary to take any action to return to the initial state before running the jobs?

Thank you very much.

I had the same issue, then I did a few things and the issue went away. I'm not sure which of the things I did solved it for me, so I'll write all of them in the hopes that at least one of them helps.

1. I re-created all the Bluesam datasets from LISTCAT **and** migrated the data (as per steps 7 and 8 of the [vsams-kds docs](https://catalog.workshops.aws/aws-blu-age-l3-certification-workshop/en-US/data-migration/datasets/vsam-ksds)).

2. I double-checked that I had fileSystem and path are used, as suggested [here](https://repost.aws/questions/QUJZyO4JbARdqSHhsAYwXE3A/error-when-executing-the-posttran-job-in-carddemo-blu-age-modernized-application#ANL8cwu_CLS8GqZWaflt2Irw).

3. This last one is probably not as relevant to you as CREASTMT is not run during POSTTRAN, but writing here in case I misunderstand how it works and it can help.
I made sure to have the correct spacing in the the CREASTMT groovy script (located in src/main/resources/scripts of carddemo-service) as suggested [here](https://repost.aws/questions/QU05dol9XGS0eDp6Lc4PUgPA/error-when-executing-the-creastmt-job-in-carddemo-blu-age-modernized-application#ANCLDb6fvCQ5eQIkEuy1-4FQ).
