PK68790: ORF PROVIDE NEW PARAMETER FOR BMP CONTROLLER

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• This APAR will add the following new function:
  Additional parameter for the BMP controller have been provided.
   The CHKP parameter now allows for:
     CHKP=U  This allows to interrupt at any IMS call for a
     given PCB.  A simple checkpoint is created if the
     application did not provide any CHKP calls
     CHKP=X  This allows the same as CHKP=U, but for any of the
     PCBs.
   A DD-stmt "$$SP6" in the JCL allows for sharing SP 6 when the
   region controller is attached.
  This APAR will fix the following:
  - Deblocking a HALDB partition in error
  - Trace output too high.
  - Invalid line was specified when a control card error was
    shown.

  This APAR is adding an additional parameter for the BMP
  controller. The CHKP parameter now allows for:
  CHKP=U  This allows to interrupt at any IMS call for a
  given PCB.  A simple checkpoint is created if the
  application did not provide any CHKP calls.
  CHKP=X  This allows the same as CHKP=U, but for any of the
  PCBs.
  A DD-stmt "$$SP6" in the JCL allows for sharing SP 6 when the
  IMS region controller is attached.
  The following problems are also being addressed in this APAR:
  1. Deblocking a HALDB partition in error.
  When defining the RAA/OVFLW boundary, the DBD info was
  used instead of the partition info.
  2. Trace output too high.
  Many modules used direct trace instead of conditional
  trace, thus creating many unnecessary trace lines.
  3. Invalid line was specified when a control card error was
  shown. The line count was already set to the next line when
  scanning for the next keyword.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• An additional parameter for the BMP controller has been
  provided. The following changes for the above problems
  have also been made:
  1. The deblocker has been changed to get the partition info
  for HALDB.
  2. The trace has been changed to conditional trace.
  This is a trace only activated upon request (via $$DYNTR DD)
  3. Line count error has been corrected.
