PH49953: AD CONNECT IAYLSTNR GETS DYNALLOC ERROR

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IAYLSTNR sometimes gets a dynalloc failure while attempting to
  retrieve information from Changeman;
  
  The ddname it is attempting to allocate one member that is
  already in-use by another library allocated to IAYLSTNR.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• The existing AD Connect dynamic allocation routine had no
  recovery routine to handle the case where the IAYPDS* DDNAME was
   previously allocated and, for some reason, not deallocated when
   servicing a previous request.  This would lead to dynalloc
  reason code x410.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR added a recovery routine that would first deallocate
  the existing allocation, then re-attempt the new allocation on
  IAYPDS*.  It is safe to deallocate the old allocation since each
   AD Connect subtask has its own dedicated IAYPDS* DDNAME, eg
  task #1 owns IAYPDS01, task #2 owns IAYPDS02, etc. so there is
  no way that the old allocation could be needed any more if the
  subtask has moved on to service a new request.
  

Temporary fix
