Error description
Two issues being addressed here: 1) Fast Path Advanced tool needs to read CI 0 in order to perform better integrity checking. 2) Online Pointer Checker ( OPC ) being enhanced to provide better feedback when API call AO status code is received, such as: FPX0011E DL/I #FPU IOPR failed status code AO MSGFPX0011E

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of Fast Path Solution Pack * * Version 1 Release 2 (FMID: HAHQ120) who use * * the Analyze function of HPFPU Fast Path * * Advanced Tool (FPA), HPFPU Fast Path Online * * Tools (FPO), or the FP DB Sensor Printing * * utility. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: FPA Analyze function and FPO OPC does * * not check the integrity of the CI RBA * * value, which is set at the end of each * * CI of DEDB areas. * * FP DB Sensor Printing utility does not * * clear some storage areas. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR. * **************************************************************** 1. FPA Analyze function: Even if an incorrect CI RBA value is set at the end of a CI, FPA Analyze function does not report the problem of the incorrect CI RBA value and continues processing with no error. 2. FPO utilities: Even if an incorrect CI RBA value is set at the end of a CI, FPO utilities do not report the problem of the incorrect CI RBA value. Instead, FPO utilities issue FPX0011E message and ends with ABENDU3500. Date in the Sensor Data Statistics report is incorrect. 3. FP DB Sensor Printing utility FP DB Sensor Printing utility does not clear some storage areas that are obtained dynamically during its processing. If the obtained storages area contains non-null value, it can cause ABENDS0C4.
Problem conclusion
1. FPA Analyze function: FPA Analyze function has been modified to check the integrity of the CI RBA value. FPA Analyze function checks the CI RBAs of all CIs including 1st CI and 2nd CI, but except for the CIs in reorg UOW. If an incorrect RBA value is set at the end of a CI, FPA Analyze function issues a message in the Resolve Pointers report, generates a snap dump when CISNAP=YES is specified, and counts as a pointer error. 2. FPO utilities: FPO utilities have been modified to check the integrity of the CI RBA value. If an AO status code is returned when FPO utilities read CIs, FPO utilities issue FPX0011E message and end with ABENDU3500 as before, and also check the integrity of the RBA value of the CI that is failed to read. If an incorrect RBA value is set at the end of a CI, FPO utilities issue FPX0339E message. FPO OPC has been modified to set correct date in the Sensor Data Statistics report. 3. FP DB Sensor Printing utility FP DB Sensor Printing utility has been modified to clear storage areas that are obtained during its processing. ======================== = DOCUMENTATION CHANGE = ======================== The IMS Fast Path Solution Pack for z/OS Version 1 Release 2 IMS High Performance Fast Path Utilities User's Guide (SC19-3287-00). > Part 8. Troubleshooting >> Chapter 59. Messages and codes of IMS HP Fast Path Utilities >>> Messages >>>> FPX messages Following new messages should be added. FPX0339E Incorrect RBA value in CI at RBA xxxxxxxx. (cont) RBA value: yyyyyyyy Offset: zzzz Explanation: An RBA value yyyyyyyy, which is set at offset zzzz of a CI at RBA xxxxxxxx, was incorrect. System action: Processing ends with an abend code of U3500. User response: Run the FPA Analyze function to check the integrity of the CI. Correct the reported problem, and rerun the job. FPX0340E OPEN|GET failed for VSAM data set. (cont) - DSNAME: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (cont) - Return code is aaa (bb), ACB error flag code is ccc (dd) or (cont) - Return code is aaa (bb), RPL feedback area is ccc (dd) Explanation: A nonzero return code was received from VSAM when attempting to access the VSAM data set by OPEN or GET macro. The return code and the reason code in the ACB error flag code or the RPL feedback area are shown in both decimal (aaa, ccc) and hexadecimal (bb, dd) format. System action: Processing ends with an abend code of U3500. User response: See DFSMS Macro Instructions for Data Sets which describe VSAM administration macros.

User response: Run the FPA Unload function and the FPA Reload function for the area to fix the incorrect FPA value in the CI.
