  ****************************************************************
  IMS Program Restart Facility is being changed as follows:
  1. The requirement to install usermods which update IMS
     source for modules DFSZSC00 and DFSZSR00 is being removed.
  2. Support for the IMS Online Reorg Facility (ORF) is
     being added. This support allows Batch Message Regions
     (BMP's) using database(s) reorganized by IMS ORF to be
     suspended and then automatically resumed when ORF has
     completed the reorganizations without terminating the
     job step and without operator intervention.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• This APAR also updates documentation in the User's Guide.
  Before applying this maintenance, customers will need to make
  sure the SMP/E ++RESTORE operation has been performed for
  PRF usermods MRT510D, MRT610D, MRT710D, MRT810D and MRT910D.
  
  For IMS Version 5 customers, if usermod MRT510D has been
  applied to any IMS Version 5 SMP/E target zones, then a
  ++RESTORE for this usermod will need to be performed.
  
  For IMS Version 6 customers, if usermod MRT610D has been
  applied to any IMS Version 6 SMP/E target zones, then a
  ++RESTORE for this usermod will need to be performed.
  
  For IMS Version 7 customers, if usermod MRT710D has been
  applied to any IMS Version 7 SMP/E target zones, then a
  ++RESTORE for this usermod will need to be performed.
  
  For IMS Version 8 customers, if usermod MRT810D has been
  applied to any IMS Version 8 SMP/E target zones, then a
  ++RESTORE for this usermod will need to be performed.
  
  For IMS Version 9 customers, if usermod MRT910D has been
  applied to any IMS Version 9 SMP/E target zones, then a
  ++RESTORE for this usermod will need to be performed.
