Error description
-
This PTF provides bug fixes and updates to sample code. . Bug fix: Corrects an error in tape mount processing which could trigger message BKRTIO8180E during EOV processing. . Bug fix: Corrects an error affecting backup jobs created from templates which use INCLUDE RDEVVOL statements. Objects selected for backup via INCLUDE RDEVVOL were skipped during backup with message BKRRVB9303W displayed. . Bug fix: When end-user catalog browsing tools (BKRJOB, etc) are invoked without a R/W minidisk or directory accessed as file mode "A", they will now terminate with message 9358E, "Filemode A must be accessed R/W to use this EXEC." . Bug fix: End-user catalog browsing tools have been updated to address an inconsistency; panel headers now consistently display "object" instead of sometimes displaying "device". . Bug fix: Sample restore processing routines have been updated to incorporate additional run-time variables for various LOAD routines. . Enhancement: Backup jobs which use the DDRTAPE output handler can now declare an additional setting in the header section of the backup job template. When "CONFIG BKR_Job_DDRTAPE_Verbose = Yes" is specified, DDRTAPE backup jobs will issue message 9359I at start-of-backup for each minidisk. Message 9359I displays the beginning tape position for the minidisk image: . BKRRVB9359I DDR-format backup of <userid> <devno> starts on volume <volser>, file <offset>, block ID <block ID>. . Behavior change: Service virtual machine console logs now display output from CP, CMS, SUBMIT, REVIEW and RESTART commands with a prefix of the command which generated the output, instead of prefacing each line with "Output line nnn:". For example, the service machine console response to CP QUERY USERID is now logged as "CP: userid AT nodename" instead of "Output line 1: userid AT nodename". Automated operations processes which inspect service machine console responses to these commands may need to be revised to accommodate this change. New sample code: A new sample version of customer exit BKREXI03 is being shipped as "ALTEXI03 SAMPEXEC". This version of BKREXI03 honors the settings for reserved workers (for backup or restore jobs) in BKRSYSTEM CONFIG. Workers from the beginning of the worker list are reserved for backups, those from the end of the list for restores. Overlaps are detected and reported but the reserved worker settings will not be overridden even if no workers are available as a result. . For each job, idle workers are selected first. If there are not enough idle workers, then busy workers will be selected on "least recently used" basis, i.e., those which have had no work assigned by this exit for the longest interval will be chosen first
