Error description
This customer is using the DB2ZLoad facility in DataStage 7.5.3 on AIX to load large amounts of data into DB2 on z/OS. They are using MVS datasets (not using the BatchPipe option) and DB2ZLoad is working well except for when it allocates the MVS datasets.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: DB2ZLoad user **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When customer is using the DB2ZLoad facility in DataStage 7.5.3 on AIX to load large amounts of data into DB2 on z/OS and when they are using MVS datasets (not using the BatchPipe option), we may have a problem when the operator allocates the MVS datasets. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Apply the patch for JR32587 ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
The issue is that we have a inconsistency in the way we do the allocation. We tell the FTP to allocate in BLOCKS, while we tell the DB2 LOAD utility to allocate in CYLINDERS. We need to be consistent so that customers can use the -rowest option to allocate datasets of accurate size. The operator will create datasets in CYLINDERS or TRACKS, both in FTP and in LOAD utility.
Temporary fix
