Error description

  • Queue manager issues multiple instances of CSQE219I messages
    when reading from the SMDS. Some instances return a negative
    count of PAGES ADDED while others indicate a value of zero,
    which appears invalid.
    Change Team finds the primary issue is the way that the queue-
    manager handles return code 4 from the MMGRSRV EXTEND,CBUPDATE=
    YES request to Media Manager. Return code 4 indicates that the
    data set has not been extended but the control blocks have been
    updated (as expected given the use of CBUPDATE=YES)
    However the queue-manager (CSQEDSI1) treats this as an error
    hence the CSQE202E is issued. Follow-on to that is generation
    of the CSQE219I messages with unexpected page counts since the
    queue-manager has not updated its control blocks with the new
    high allocated/used CI values.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Errors can occur when a queue manager   *
    *                      reads from another queue manager's      *
    *                      SMDS, and finds the dataset has been    *
    *                      extended.                               *
    *                      These errors can include:               *
    *                      - CSQE202E issued from CSQEDSI1 to      *
    *                        report a failure with "return code 4" *
    *                      - CSQE219I issued from CSQEDSI1 to      *
    *                        report "Extents refreshed" with       *
    *                        a negative number of pages added,     *
    *                        and zero total pages.                 *
    *                      - CSQE219I issued from CSQEDSI1 to      *
    *                        report "Extents refreshed" with       *
    *                        zero pages added and zero total pages *
    ****************************************************************
    When a browse/get request detects that it requires an SMDS page
    from another queue manager's SMDS that lies beyond the number
    formatted CIs, an extend request is scheduled to update the
    local queue manager's view of the SMDS allocation to reflect any
    expansions that have taken place.
    In some circumstances the Media Manager call used for this can
    validly return RC=4, or return without setting the high used CI.
    However CSQEDSI1 assumes the call always returns RC=0, and
    always sets the high used CI.
    These incorrect assumptions lead to the reported errors.
    

Problem conclusion

  • CSQEDSI1 is changed to correctly handle the return values from
    MMGRSRVR EXPAND.
