OA63093: USING DEVICE_CLASS=DASD STILL RESULTS IN TAPE DEVICES BEING READ

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using DEVICE_CLASS=DASD still results in tape devices being read
  
  When running a compliance report that includes the CARLa
  statement DEVICE_CLASS=DASD, multiple CKR0305, CKR0307, and
  CKR0703 messages are issued indicating a problem with tape even
  though tape should be excluded.
  

Local fix

• Suppress tape error messages as an interim work around
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Audit exploiting the        *
  *                 "Sensitive Data Set Names" report (newlist   *
  *                 type SENSDSN) and/or the "Data Set Names"    *
  *                 report (newlist type DSN).                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: zSecure Audit performs analysis of      *
  *                      tape data sets even if these data sets  *
  *                      are excluded by the selection on the    *
  *                      DEVICE_CLASS field for SENSDSN/DSN      *
  *                      reports. As result, a series of         *
  *                      MSGCKR0305, MSGCKR0307, and MSGCKR0703  *
  *                      might be issued.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When tape data set analysis is excluded from the SENSDSN/DSN
  reports (for example, by the DEVICE_CLASS=DASD clause on the
  SELECT statement), the zSecure Audit still processes tape data
  set information stored in a CKFREEZE data set. This might result
  in a series of the following messages:
   o MSGCKR0305 (Catalog entry conflicts with tape management
     system...).
   o MSGCKR0307 (Conflicting tape management information...).
   o MSGCKR0703 (First volume conflict tape...).
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Audit has been modified so that tape data sets are
  excluded from the analysis in cases where the selection on the
  DEVICE_CLASS field (SENSDSN/DSN reports) excludes these data
  sets, so that no MSGCKR0305, MSGCKR0307, and MSGCKR0703 are
  issued in this case.
