PI67649: ENSURE CONSISTENCY OF DDEFPDS DD BETWEEN MAS AND SAS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Currently there are no checks to determine if the DDEFPDS DD is
  allocated by the MAS. Nor are there any checks to determine if
  the DDEFPDS DD in the MAS (if allocated) and in the SAS are
  consistent. This enhancement will check the MAS for DDEFPDS DD
  allocation and, if allocated, ensure consistency between the MAS
  and the SAS when the DDEFPDS DD is allocated in both jobs.

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The DDEFPDS DD has been required to be  *
  *                      specified in the Recovery Sort          *
  *                      Subordinate address space (RSS).        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: No known workarounds.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  Requiring the DDEFPDS DD to be specified in the master address
  space (MAS) requires additional coding and maintenance of the
  Recovery Sort Subordinate address space procedures.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• IMS Database Recovery Facility is changed to allow the DDEFPDS
  DD to be specified in the master address space (MAS).  A DDEFPDS
  specified in the MAS will override a DDEFPDS DD specified in the
  Recovery Sort Subordinate address space (RSS).  This will allow
  greater flexibility in setting up recovery jobs across IMS
  databases and regions without the need to change RSS procedures.
