PH38791: UPDATE HOLD ACTION FOR APAR PH32514 21/07/20 PTF PECHANGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The HOLD ACTION for APAR/PTF PH32514/UI73305 is incorrect
  It should read
  
  Step#1: set the "Enable RESTART mode (VUU090/RSTENABL)" parmlib
  parameter to the desired value (YES/NO). Be aware that setting
  it to YES requires the other parameters related to the RESTART
  feature, i.e the. " RESTART dataset template (VUU091/RSTTMPL)"
  and "RESTART dataset unit (VUU092/RSTUNIT)" parmlib parameters,
  be set relevantly. Enabling the RESTART feature by default does
  not require any change in the Db2 HPU steps, However, all the
  jobs will issue messages related to the RESTART feature and some
  of them - i.e. the eligible steps - will allocate a new dataset
  named RESTART dataset but the return code from the jobs will not
  change unless the RESTART dataset cannot be allocated as needed.
  Set the "Enable RESTART mode (VUU090/RSTENABL)" parmlib
  parameter to NO or keep the default value if you want that the
  behavior of your existing Db2 HPU jobs do not change at all.
  This does not prevent you to take benefit of the RESTART feature
  for some Db2 HPU steps by specifying the RESTART option in the
  PARM attribute of the Db2 HPU EXEC statement.
  Step#2: generate the customization jobs.
  Step#3: submit the INZTVAR customization job to activate
  PH29757.
