PM79079: ALLOW SETTING 0 (ZERO) FOR MAX_RIDBLOCKS ATTRIBUTE FOR PROFILE MODELLING

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• DB2 should align the allowed values between the ZPARM and
  profile modeling.
  Value 0 was not accepted for MAX_RIDBLOCKS attribute and this
  APAR is fixing it
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of DB2 9 and 10 for z/OS           *
  *                    of Profile Manager for modeling           *
  *                    a product subsystem.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A profile attribute row is rejected     *
  *                       when 0(zero) is specified in the       *
  *                       ATTRIBUTE2 column for MAX_RIDBLOCKS    *
  *                       attribute keyword.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Profile Manager can be used to model a product subsystem
  in a test subsystem by setting a production environment.
  For the attribute keywords of the product system modeling,
  including the MAX_RIDBLOCKS keyword, the acceptable attribute
  values are non-zero positive integer numbers.
  Therefore, for the product system modeling keywords, any
  profile attribute row with 0(zero) value in the ATTRIBUTE2
  column is rejected during START PROFILE process.
  For the MAXRBLK subsystem parameter for RID POOL SIZE in a
  subsystem, however, 0(zero) is a acceptable value.
  As a result, it was not allowed to model a product system
  that has 0(zero) RID POOL SIZE using Profile Manager.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• DB2 has been modified to support 0(zero) value in the
  ATTRIBUTE2 column for the MAX_RIDBLOCKS keyword to model
  a product subsystem that has 0(zero) RID POOL SIZE.
