Restrictions for the Integrated DB Sensor function

Certain restrictions apply when the Integrated DB Sensor function is used in HD Pointer Checker jobs.

When DB Sensor is called from HD Pointer Checker, the following restrictions apply:

Image copy data sets cannot be specified as input database data sets.
Only a several of data sets of the database cannot be specified as input database data sets. All the data sets of the database must be specified as the input.
HD Pointer Checker cannot run in the IMS region controller program (DFSRRC00). PGM=FABPPC00 must be specified on the EXEC statement instead of DFSRRC00.
HD Pointer Checker can be executed in the DBB region only if the IMS management of ACBs is enabled.

For more information about using the Integrated DB Sensor function, see FABPMAIN EXEC statement and FABPMAIN PROCCTL data set.

Certain considerations apply when collecting sensor data from IMS online full-function databases. For more information, see the considerations topics in the IMS Solution Packs Data Sensor User's Guide.
