Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of HJE7790 and HJE77A0 who plan to *
  *                 run an HJE77B0 version of JES2 in the same   *
  *                 MAS.                                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Releases HJE7790 and HJE77A0 are        *
  *                      changed to recognize JES2 release       *
  *                      HJE77B0 as a valid member to co-exist   *
  *                      within a multi-access spool (MAS)       *
  *                      environment.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  $HASPEQU is updated to specify HJE77B0 as the highest valid
  release that can coexist in a JES2 MAS.  If this APAR is not
  applied, message MSGHASP710 will be issued when attempting to
  initialize an HJE77B0 member in a MAS with an HJE7790 or HJE77A0
  member (or vice versa).
  In addition, the JES2 service level, J2SLVL, has been increased.
  Releases of JES2 prior to HJE7790 cannot coexist in a MAS with
  HJE77B0.

Comments

• TYPE/RESTART(WARM) IPL/REQUIRED(YES) CLPA(YES)
  CLPA is needed only if HASCxxxx modules currently reside in
  the pageable link pack area (PLPA).
  $HASPEQU is updated to specify HJE77B0 as the highest level of
  JES2 that can exist in a MAS.  The JES2 service level is updated
  to indicate a new service level exists.
  If you do not have this APAR on all members of the MAS or have
  any MAS members at a level prior to HJE7790 you may experience
  various problems under the following circumstances:
   - a member of the MAS is updated to HJE77B0.
   - the HJE77B0 member processes work, updating the checkpoint,
     expands the checkpoint limits, or stores output to spool.
   - the HJE77B0 member is changed back to a prior release.
  In the above circumstances some of the symptoms you may
  experience are:
    - $HASP095 JES2 CATASTROPHIC ABEND. CODE = S0C4 (RC=00000011)
    - Dependent jobs could execute prematurely.
    - Notifications requested via NOTIFY JCL statements may
      not occur
  .
  Toleration code was added in support of Email Notification
  function introduced in V2R3.
  Toleration code was added in support of NET JES3 JECL
  statement function and Dependent Job Control (DJC) function
  introduced in V2R3.
  .
  .
  Starting in z/OS V2R3, new NOTIFY JCL statement may request
  a job notification message to be sent when a job is no
  longer eligible for execution.  The code for pre-z/OS V2R3
  members has been updated to not purge a job that requires
  such notification until there are V2R3 members active in the
  MAS that can process such notification.  There is still a
  possibility that a job notification message requested via
  NOTIFY JCL statement may not be sent if a down level JES2
  member purges such a job, because there were no z/OS V2R3
  members active in the MAS to process the notification.
  .
  .
  The information in the following JES2 manuals/publications
  is missing/incorrect:
  1.SA32-0989-01   JES2 Messages           (for HJE7790)
  2.SA32-0989-03   JES2 Messages           (for HJE77A0)
  The text for Chapter 6.0 Two-hundreds for message $HASP233
  should be updated to include the following reasons:
  .
    REFORMAT CKPT REQUEST
      This is an internally generated request to re-build the
      checkpoint data from an in memory checkpoint after a
      logical error was found reading data from the checkpoint.
      The current checkpoints are reformatted with the latest
      checkpoint data and processing should resume normally.
  .
  .
  Updates will only be made to the 'JES2 Messages' manual in
  future JES2 releases.
