APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROTECT STGPOOL processing to a local container-copy storage
  pool may exhibit poor performance following a prior local
  PROTECT STGPOOL process that was canceled or failed during
  reclamation phase processing. When a local PROTECT STGPOOL
  process terminates before completing reclamation, the database
  is not updated to indicate the last protection date for new
  extents. This can cause the next PROTECT STPGOOL process to scan
  all the containers in the pool to find those that actually have
  extents on them that need processing. When the prior PROTECT
  STGPOOL process completes successfully, the date is updated and
  only containers with new data since that date will be analyzed.
  

Local fix

• Run local PROTECT STGPOOL with the reclaim=no option so that the
  protect phase can complete and the database can be updated with
  the last protection date. Then run protect with reclaim=only or
  onlylimited to reclaim as many volumes as possible.
