VM65653: DFSMS MOVE FOR AN IDENTITY USER MIGHT FAIL.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

Error description

  the SUBCONFIG fails.

  The same DFSMS MOVE is working fine for an IDENTITY user where
  the MDISK was NOT defined in the SUBCONFIG.

  ****************************************************************
  The minidisk move capability of DFSMS was never updated to
  handle SUBCONFIG's in a user directory.  DFSMS uses VMUDQ from
  CP to query the directory to find the users minidisk.  If the
  minidisk is defined in a SUBCONFIG this will fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFSMS has been updated to take advantage of a new capability in
  CP in the VMUDQ interface to query the directory for minidisks
  in a SUBCONFIG.  VMUDQ will return the correct information to
  DFSMS no matter whether the minidisk is defined in a SUBCONFIG,
  an IDENT, or a USER entry.  In addtion DFSMS will now issue the
  proper commands to DirMaint to move a minidisk no matter whether
  the minidisk is in a SUBCONFIG, an IDENT, or a USER entry.
  CP APAR VM65877 is required to use this new support.
  
  Note: The DFSMS Minidisk move function cannot be used to
  initiate a MOVE from one SSI member on behalf of a minidisk
  in another SSI member.  The command must be initiated on the
  local SSI member to move a minidisk, including one defined
  in a subconfig.
  In addition, the userid parameter must point to a user ID
  or identiy on the local SSI member and cannot point to a
  subconfig name.
  -----------------
  In addition DGTQDIRM EXEC is an EXIT.  The input to this EXIT
  has changed in the following way.
  To support SubConfig's in the USER DIRECTORY the DirMaint input
  commands to DGTQDIRM EXEC for MMDISK, AMDISK, RMDISK, and
  DMDISK have changed.  If you are going to manipulate a minidisk
  that resides in a SubConfig DirMaint requires you to use
  the SubConfig name in the *MDISK commands instead of the IDENT
  name.  To accommodate this the input to DGTQDIRM has been
  updated.  It will now contain an extra input parameter for the
  AMDISK, RMDISK, and DMDISK commands and two extra input
  parameters for the MMDISK command.  These extra input
  parameters will contain the SubConfig name where the minidisk
  resides or if the minidisk is not in a SubConfig it will
  contain the IDENT name or USER name.
