OA42423: DS630 ICAT TEMS AND COMMON AGENT CONFIGURATION FRAMEWORK UPDATES

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• 1. Increase the "Maximum storage request size (Extended)"
  configuration default from 23 to 24 in order to generate
     LIMIT(24,X) in the KDSSYSIN member in the RTE's
     WKANPARU/RKANPARU library.  Benefit: This storage setting
     in KDSSYSIN is recommended to better support the storage
     requirements for enabling the Self Describing Agent (SDA)
     feature.
  2. By default, the TMS:Engine communications trace
     configuration default is KDC_DEBUG=N as generated by the
     DS#3xxxx TEMS "Create runtime members" jobs in the RTE's
     &rhilev.&rte.RKANPARU(KDSENV) member.  The ICAT batch
     parameter (KDS_CMS_KDC_DEBUG) nor the "Enable
     communications trace" field on the TEMS "SPECIFY ADVANCED
     CONFIGURATION VALUES" (KDS62PP3 panel) does not change
     but the environmental variable "KDC_DEBUG" parameter
     generated in the RKANPARU(KDSENV) is changing from the
     original KDC_DEBUG communications trace parameter to
     KBS_DEBUG.   Benefit:  The new configuration default
     parameter name is now changed from KDC_DEBUG=&value name
     to KBS_DEBUG=&value name for a more diagnostic debug
     tracing output.
  3. The hardcoded setting of KDC_DEBUG=N in Agents'
     &rhilev.&rte.RKANPARU(KppENV) member is now generated by
     the standalone Agents' pp#3xxxx TEMS "Create runtime
     members" job as KBS_DEBUG=N.   Benefit:  The new
     configuration default parameter name is now changed from
     KDC_DEBUG=&value name to KBS_DEBUG=&value name for a more
     diagnostic debug tracing output.

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• 1. Increase TEMS LIMIT(23,X) to LIMIT(24,X) by default in the
  RKANPARU(KDSSYSIN) member.                                2.
  Change TEMS and Agents' KDC_DEBUG=N to KBS_DEBUG=N by
  default in the RKANPARU(KppENV) member.
