APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using IBM Developer for z Systems 14.1 and z/OS Explorer
  3.1.0 to access a dataset residing on a volume that was
  relabeled after the dataset was created, the action can trigger
  a mount request for a volume with the old label, and hang the
  client waiting for the mount to complete.
  
  In the SYSLOG, the following messages can be seen, where OLDOLD
  is the old volume label:
  
   IEF244I RSED3 STEP1 - UNABLE TO ALLOCATE 1 UNIT(S) 374
           AT LEAST 1 OFFLINE UNIT(S) NEEDED.
   IEF877E RSED3 NEEDS 1 UNIT(S) 375
   FOR STEP1 SYS00047

   :
   IEF878I END OF IEF877E FOR RSED3 STEP1 SYS00047
  *08 IEF238D RSED3 - REPLY DEVICE NAME OR 'CANCEL'.
  
  
  In a user's ffs.log, the previous volume name can also be seen:
  ffsxdir.c:1032  filter: CEE.SCEESAMP
  ffsxdir.c:164  noCatalogSearch() Entered
  ffsxdir.c:170    Dataset=(CEE.SCEESAMP

  ****************************************************************
  1. When using z/OS Explorer to access a dataset residing on a
      volume that was relabeled after the dataset was created, the
      action can trigger a mount request for a volume with the old
      label, and hang the client waiting for the mount to complete
  2. An upload into an archive can result in an unresponsive
      server due to an exception.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. Host modules have been updated
  2. The problem is avoided by ensuring a corresponding entry
      exists in the archive before uploading to it.
