DFSMShsm: Replace user-defined patch with new SETSYS FASTREPLICATION command to enable ARC1809I messages

Description: Before z/OS V1R13, a patch was required to enable (and subsequently disable) ARC1809I messages during fast replication volume pairing. Starting with z/OS V1R13, the VOLUMEPAIRMESSAGES parameter is added to the existing SETSYS FASTREPLICATION command to control the issuance of the ARC1809I messages. Remove the patch and replace it with the new parameter.

Steps to take: Follow these steps:

  1. Remove PATCH .FRGCB.+9 BITS(.1......) from the ARCCMDxx parmlib member of SYS1.PARMLIB.
  2. Add SETSYS FASTREPLICATION(VOLUMEPAIRMESSAGES(YES)) to the ARCCMDxx parmlib member of SYS1.PARMLIB.
