DFSMSdfp: Specify new option to suppress the message IGD17054I

Description

In z/OS V1R13, issuance of the IGD17054I message was controlled by the value specified for the SUPPRESS_DRMSGS parameter, which was new in z/OS V1R13, in the IGDSMSxx parmlib member. Beginning in z/OS V2R1, issuance of the IGD17054I message is controlled by the new SUPPRESS_SMSMSG parameter, also in the IGDSMSxx parmlib member. Issuance of all other DELETE/RENAME messages are controlled as before by the SUPPRESS_DRMSGS parameter.

Element or feature: DFSMSdfp
When change was introduced: z/OS V2R1.
Applies to migration from: z/OS V1R13.
Timing: Before the first IPL of z/OS V2R2.
Is the migration action required? Yes, if you specify the SUPPRESS_DRMSGS(YES) parameter in IGDSMSxx parmlib member to suppress the IGD17054I message and continue to suppress the message IGD17054I.
Target system hardware requirements: None.
Target system software requirements: None.
Other system (coexistence or fallback) requirements: None.
Restrictions: None.
System impacts: None.
Related IBM Health Checker for z/OS check: None.

Steps to take

If you specify the SUPPRESS_DRMSGS(YES) parameter in an IGDSMSxx parmlib member to suppress the IGD17054I message, you need additionally to specify the SUPPRESS_SMSMSG(YES,IGD17054I) parameter in your IGDSMSxx parmlib member. This enables the message suppression from consoles and all logs, including the job log and the hardcopy log. Without this action, you are unable to suppress the message IGD17054I by default regardless of what is specified for SUPPRESS_DRMSG.

Tip: If you currently suppress the message IGD17054I by coding any message processing exit routines or specifying the MPFLSTxx parmlib option in prior versions of z/OS, you are now able to make use of the new parameter SUPPRESS_SMSMSG(YES,IGD17054I) alternatively.
