PH61847: BAS RESOURCES AREN'T INSTALLED DURING MAS COLD START

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a new resource is added to a group, a BMCP routine is run.
  This determines whether an update to the resource list needs to
  be triggered or not. In this case, the BMCP routine identifies
  an incorrect RASGNDEF by virtue of its similarity with the
  resource type being newly defined. This identification overlooks
  
  the RASGNDEF_FILTER that needs to match for the new resource and
  
  BMCP routine fails to install the desired resource.
  

Local fix

• A restart of the CMAS fixes the issue because the resource list
  is being built from scratch based on information from the data
  repository

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: BAS Resources are not correctly         *
  *                      installed when using multiple resource  *
  *                      assignments associated with a resource  *

  * RECOMMENDATION: The PTFs addressing this APAR should be      *
  *                 applied to all CMAS regions. This can be     *
  *                 done in any order.                           *

  Fully functional business application services resource
  assignments (RASGNDEF) are used to control where a BAS resource
  is installed. When multiple RASGNDEFs are associated with a
  resource description (RESDESC), resources may not be correctly
  installed. This is due to the processing in PRC_RDSC when a
  resource is created or updated, which is associated with the
  resource description. This does not correctly evaluate all
  related resource assignments when multiple are defined. The
  result of which is that the in memory relationship between
  the BAS resource and region is not created when the
  resource is added or updated, the lack of which results
  in the resource not being installed in all the expected regions
  as defined in the RASGNDEFs.
  

Problem conclusion

• BAS resource add/update logic has been corrected, to process
  all related resource assignments, resulting in the resource(s)
  being installed in the correct regions.
