Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All SA z/OS V3R3, V3R4 and V3R5 customers. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: see description below... * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** SA 3.3, 3.4 & SA 3.5: o HSAL1406I SERVICE PERIOD TIME SLOT HAS BEEN MISSED FOR resource can be issued when a Service Period defined in the policy is blanked out. SA 3.4 & SA 3.5: o When editing an RDS tables using INGRCRDX and attempting to illegally delete a table field (table control header), then msgING332I Command execution failed RC=12 is issued. The content of the table should not be lost. o The INGLKUP help panel should explain where the possible values for Job Type can be found. o An ACF COLD command should not delete the AOF.0SDF.* cglobals. o Use SCREENSZ values from AOFINIT when size values are not passed on the SDFPANEL command via rows/cols values. o HSAL1110I should not be truncated. o Enhance INGSTGEN and sample PDB AOFJPDBD to support GDPS 3.12 and GDPS/MTMM. SA 3.5: o Extend 'Monitor for IPL complete' from status AVAILABLE to SOFTDOWN, STANDBY and SATISFACTORY. o The following messages have been added to the +SA_PREDEFINED_MSGS: CAZL003I IBM APA z/OS Listener terminating to trigger TERMMSG FINAL=NO and CAZL023I IBM APA z/OS PDTCC is available to trigger ACTIVMSG UP=YES o Clarify when INGMSGGP is automatically loaded. o Clarify the meaning of External Shutdown FINAL and Monitor Interval. o Clarify the implication/restriction when the task in the timer definition is changed. The 'old' timers running under the 'old' task remain in effect until manually purged. o MsgDFS3626I has been added to the *IMS add-on policy. o Batch report sample job INGEBRP2 has been clarified to indicate that for the ISPSTART command, the DD-name (parm 6) is only required for option 'M' (Unused member list). o Sample INGCMD has been updated to enhance the syntax for GDPS Active/Active Satellite support. o Sample AOFAUTB has been updated to enhance the syntax. o Messages ING313I, ING314I and ING315I have been enhanced. o The explanation of the INGAUTO command has been improved. o Sample IHVMTX has been corrected to remove a duplicate 'Then' in the syntax. o The sort algorithm in IHVBSRT has been fixed to prevent a potential 0C4 in IHVDPSC. o Make sure that PRIORITY color values take precedence over DCOLOR in AOFINIT. o Data in AOFINIT in columns 73-80 should be ignored and not produce msgAOFS501I. o The help for msgING164I has been improved. o The monitor routine for the Looping Address Space Suppression (INGROMLS) has been enhanced. o When user data exist for a predefined message in the PDB then the user data should not be displayed when looking at the predefined data in +SA_PREDEFINED_MSGS.
