Error description

  • Abstract: Rational Developer for System z (RDz) 8.0.3.1 - When
    CARMA Endevor Element is opened from MVS subproject, AbendsE37
    occurs on CRA$NDVR.DEPEND file.
    
    This problem occurs when customer has multiple Endevor instances
    and the Element that is being opened has been moved from one
    Endevor instance/repository to another instance/repository. When
    user opens the element from the MVS subproject, the editor opens
    with the element source, however, the client remains hung in the
    'content assist loading' process.  On the host, the MSG3FILE
    indicates that the CARMA Endevor RAM is looking for additional
    dependencies on the system that the element was moved from but
    the RAM receives a 'not found' (API0000I  PROCESSING COMPLETE -
    RC=00004 REASON=00006) on the element from Endevor.  Following
    the not found condition, the RAM then issues a 'generic' (blank
    Element name) LIST ELEMENT call. Endevor returns a count
    indicating that all elements in the system are dependencies. The
    RAM then issues calls to get all the dependencies which causes
    the CRA$NDVR.DEPEND file to get extremely large and in certain
    cases cause an E37 or B37 abend.
    
    Local Fix:
    
    Rebuild Endevor footprint of the Element that was moved.

    ****************************************************************
    01.When attempting to retrieve the dependencies for elements
       whose footprint is not correctly built, all of the
       dependencies are retrieved for all of the elements. This can
       result in the temporary DEPEND DD dataset being out of space
       with an E37 abend.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01.When the element information cannot be retrieved, there
       should be no attempt to retrieve the dependencies.  With this
       fix, the dependencies are not retrieved if the element
       information cannot be retrieved from the CA Endevor
       repository.
