VM66274: DIRMAINT IVP TEST DM0430 FAILS IN NON-SSI SYSTEM

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DirMaint IVP (APAR VM66175) test DM0430 fails indicating
  satellites are logged off in a non-SSI SYSAFFIN system.
  
  This occurs when the IVP is initiated on the DirMaint server. A
  similar error will occur for DM0440 for datamove servers that
  are running on nodes other than on the node where the DirMaint
  server is running.
  
  In addition, the RUNMODE configuration property is incorrectly
  tested on satellite and datamove servers. On those servers the
  RUNMODE value is not truncated to a single word and this can
  lead to a false failure being reported for tests DA0140 and
  DS0140.

  DirMaint IVP (APAR VM66175) test DM0430 fails indicating
  satellites are logged off in a non-SSI SYSAFFIN system.
  
  This occurs when the IVP is initiated on the DIRMAINT server. A
  similar error will occur for DM0440 for datamove servers that
  are running on nodes other than on the node where the DIRMAINT
  server is running.
  
  In addition, the RUNMODE configuration property is incorrectly
  tested on satellite and datamove servers. On those servers the
  RUNMODE value is not truncated to a single word and this can
  lead to a false failure being reported for tests DA0140 and
  DS0140.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem occurs because the IVP is unable to determine the
  logged on status of the satellite and datamove servers that
  are running on z/VM nodes other than the node where the
  DIRMAINT server is running and the nodes are not part of an SSI
  configuration. The code is updated for non-SSI environments to
  attempt to start the IVP for satellite and datamove servers
  that run on nodes other than the node where the DIRMAINT server
  is running. If the server is logged off then the IVP will
  eventually time out and fail the test indicating that the
  affected server did not respond to the IVP request in the
  expected time frame.
  
  In addition, test 0140 used to verify RUNMODE in datamove
  and satellite servers is no longer necessary. Tests DA0140
  and DS0140 are no longer needed and are removed from the IVP.
  Test DM0140 remains active.
  
  The DirMaint Tailoring and Administration Guide (SC24-6283-03)
  will be updated as follows:
  
  Appendix G. Tests Run by the Automated IVP
  
  Page 246
  The references to tests DA0140 and DS0140 will be removed from
  the header:
      Test 0140 - DM0140
  
  and both DATAMOVE and SATELLITE will be removed from
  environment:
      Environment
         DIRMAINT
  
  Page 247
  
  The information under resolution will be changed to the
  following:
  
  Resolution
  The DIRMAINT server running in test mode is unable to make
  changes to the directory. This mode is not intended for
  normal operation.
  
  To change the mode to operational you need to edit your
  CONFIG* DATADVH override file and either change or add
  the RUNMODE= setting to operational:
       RUNMODE= OPERATIONAL
  
  Once you have edited and then saved the file back on the
  DIRMAINT server, you will need to issue the following
  command to enable the change:
       DIRM RLDDATA
