PI21923: RDZ REMOTE SEARCH RESULTS INCOMPLETE WHEN USING -DSEARCH.SERVER.LIMIT.DATASETS=NNN

8.5.1.6: UI24911 PTF for Rational Developer for System z Host Options
Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Rational Developer for System z Remote search results incomplete
  when using -Dsearch.server.limit.datasets=nnn
  
  The difference can be observed when comparing results against
  TSO Search
  
  Analysis shows the search is canceled due to the rsed.envvars
  parameter -Dsearch.server.limit.datasets not counting datasets
  but actually counts "Number of sequential datasets" + "Number of
  PDS members"
  
  The text in rsed.envvars and Host Configuration Guide
  (SC23-7658-12) is using incorrect z/OS terms and is therefore
  confusing:
  #_RSE_JAVAOPTS="$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -Dsearch.server.limit.datasets=0"
  Limit the resource usage of non-indexed file and text searches.
  The default is 0 (no limit). Uncomment and customize this
  directive to stop a search after the specified number of data
  sets has been scanned.

  01.The search limit key name for scanned files was not matched
     with the term of z/OS.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.The RDz server was fixed to use a proper limit key name for
     scanned files; rsed.envvars variable
     search.server.limit.datasets is renamed to
     search.server.limit.scanned_objects.
