APAR status

Error description

• In some cases when DFHDPLOY utility with DEPLOY BUNDLE
  command fails, the BUNDLE definition is not removed
  from BAS.
  If this appears several times, the version number of the
  BAS resource definition is incremented up to the limit of
  15 and all BUNDLE definitions must be removed manually.

  ****************************************************************
  When you use the DEPLOY BUNDLE command in DFHDPLOY without
  specifying RESGROUP or CSDGROUP, a resource definition is
  created using Business Administration Services (BAS) for the
  duration of the deployment and deleted after the artifact
  reaches its specified target state.
  In certain scenarios where the BUNDLE deployment fails, it is
  expected that the temporary resource would be removed from the
  CICSPlex SM Data Repository, but this does not always occur.
  .
  If this failure occurs many times, the following message may be
  produced:
  DFHRL2307I Unable to install BUNDLE(bundlename). The definition
  version limit has been reached.
  DFHRL2055I Errors have occurred, processing terminated.
  .
  Note, this APAR also addresses a problem with the DFHDPLOY Kanji
  messages that have spanned multiple lines and not been created
  with a continuation character. This leads to rc-3 messages
  issued by DFHDPLOY if REXX system tracing is set to normal.

Problem conclusion

• DFHDPLOY has been updated so that the temporary BAS resource
  definition will be deleted following soft failures in a DEPLOY
  BUNDLE command.
  
  This APAR will also deliver a change to correct the badly formed
  DFHDPLOY Kanji messages that spanned multiple lines.
