Cross-Memory Support Restrictions

z/OS DFSMSdfp Checkpoint/Restart
SC23-6862-00

A checkpoint is not allowed when storage access across address space boundaries has been established. When using cross-memory support, the restrictions shown in Table 1 may apply.

Table 1. Cross-Memory Support Restrictions
Macros Restriction Code Instructions Restriction Code
LXRES 2 EPAR 2
ETCRE 2 ESAR 2
ETCON 2 IAC 2
AXRES 2 IVSK 2
AXERT 2 MVCP 3
AXSET 2 MVCS 3
ATSET 2 MVCK 3
PCLINK 1 PC* 4
    PT* 3 and 4
    SAC 1

Code Definitions:

  1. You must release this resource before checkpoint and reestablish it after checkpoint or restart.
  2. You must reestablish this resource after a restart.
  3. You must be sure that the keys and ASIDs are correct after a restart.
  4. Any attempt to restart from a checkpoint taken in a program call (PC) routine is unpredictable. If a PC routine issues a PCLINK, and then a CHKPT, the error is detected and a checkpoint request is refused. It is impossible to detect a PC routine when the PC routine does not issue a PCLINK and the PC routine is entered without a space switch. If a PC routine issues a checkpoint, that PC routine must ensure that all the requisite values needed for a PT instruction are current before issuing the PT instruction. These values may change after a restart (for example, the ASID might be different).
