Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All DB2 users of RESTORE SYSTEM Utility.     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: RESTORE SYSTEM Utility ending with RC08 *
  *                      when Fast Log Apply (FLA) is disabled.  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When RESTORE SYSTEM is run with the Fast Log Apply (FLA)
  disabled, accessing FLA field may result in a program exception
  error. This program exception error will invoke Program Recovery
  Routine (PRR) which will process this error condition and
  terminate the RESTORE SYSTEM utility with RC08. This APAR will
  make sure that if FLA is disabled, it will not reference or
  access any FLA code logic. This will avoid program exception
  errors during log apply phase of RESTORE SYSTEM and premature
  termination of RESTORE SYSTEM Utility.
  

Problem conclusion

• DB2 RESTORE SYSTEM log apply logic is modified to avoid program
  exception error when FLA is not used for data recovery.
