Error description
The commands SETXCF START,REALLOCATEand SETXCF START,RB, STRNAME=xxxx_SCA incurred the messages: IXC522I REBUILD FOR STRUCTURE xxxx_SCA IS BEING STOPPED TO FALL BACK TO THE OLD STRUCTURE DUE TO CONNECTOR SPECIFIC REASON USER CODE: 00000008 IXC521I REBUILD FOR STRUCTURE xxxx_SCA HAS BEEN STOPPED DSN7504I -ssid DSN7LST2 SCA STRUCTURE xxxx_SCA REBUILD UNSUCCESSFUL, REASON CODE = 8 is displayed. Right before the DSN7504I, there was DSNT376I indicating timeout from CORRELATION-ID=014.RBDBET01, holder is thread with CORRELATION-ID=020.STOPDB09 (from -STOP DB command). DSNT501I DSNILMCL RESOURCE UNAVAILABLE is also issued with CORRELATION-ID=014.RBDBET01, REASON 00C900C0, TYPE 00002105 and NAME INTERNAL LOCK. ---------------------------------------------------------------- . Exposure if the enabling APAR PM74803 were to be applied on any member before applying the preconditioning APAR PM69760: The exposure is that if SCA REBUILD is running and there is a concurrent DBET activity (e.g. a utility running on a member without the enabling APAR PM74803 and turning on UTRW), members that have the enabling APAR on might ignore the notify to turn on an exception state for an object. So members in the group could get out of synch between each other with regard to a DBET state - some will have it turned on, some won't, which could lead to allowing access to the object when it should be protected by DBET state. However, this chance for inconsistency is only if there is SCA REBUILD running and only if the member that has the enabling APAR on isn't the one driving the DBET activity (and therefore originating DBET notifies).

REASON CODE = 8. IXC522I REBUILD FOR STRUCTURE 401 DSNCAT_SCA IS BEING STOPPED TO FALL BACK TO THE OLD STRUCTURE DUE TO CONNECTOR SPECIFIC REASON USER CODE: 00000008 IXC521I REBUILD FOR STRUCTURE DSNCAT_SCA 405 HAS BEEN STOPPED ---------------------------------------------------------------- The reason for the timeout of the SCA REBUILD is that a mainline DBET updater (e.g. a utility) is suspended (while holding the DBET hash lock) by the SCA REBUILD process. When the SCA REBUILD tries to obtain the same lock, it cannot do so because the holder is suspended and therefore the SCA REBUILD times out.
Problem conclusion
Code has been changed to adjust the serialization scheme between mainline DBET updaters and the SCA REBUILD process. For the timing window when the SCA REBUILD tries to obtain the DBET hash lock while a mainline DBET updater is in the notify exit path, the SCA REBUILD timeout will not be resolved until a future enabling APAR, which should be applied only after APAR PM69760 has been applied on all data sharing members.
