IT25718: RECOVERY FOR IT24025 PROBES FAIL WITH BTADS0102E DUE TO MAX VALUE REACHED WITH AUTOIDS

IBM Spectrum Control 5.3.1 - Agents

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The fix for APAR IT24025 was incomplete.  Although it corrected
  the overuse of IDs that lead to the problem, applying the
  IT24025 fix does not provide resolution for an environment that
  has reached the max value for autoids.  Probe failures that
  continue even after applying the IT24025 fix are the most common
  symptom.
  
  See APAR IT24025 for details:
  
  IT24025: PROBES FAIL WITH BTADS0102E DUE TO MAX VALUE REACHED
  WITH AUTOIDS.

  If you suspect that you have encountered this issue and need to
  recover, please contact IBM Support for further evaluation.  If
  confirmed, a custom file must be provided to complete the
  solution.
