IMS High Performance Pointer Checker 3.1 (APAR PH43066/PTF UI82122)

IMS Tools product or component IMS High Performance Pointer Checker 3.1
Name IMS-managed ACBs support for IMS High Performance Image Copy HASH Check jobs
Description
HD Pointer Checker is enhanced to support the following functions in IMS High Performance Image Copy jobs when IMS management of ACBs is enabled:
  • Single-step HASH Check function for full-function databases
  • The logical relation search function

The PTF for APAR PH43078 must be applied to IMS High Performance Image Copy to enable these enhancements.

Also, HD Pointer Checker is enhanced to issue the DFS3CATQ GET requests to get database definitions without metadata. This results in improved usage of unnecessary storage when DBDs have metadata and HD Pointer Checker is run in an IMS-managed ACBs environment. To enable this enhancement, the PTF for IMS APAR PH39492 must be applied.

  • The IMS Catalog Definition exit routine (DFS3CDX0) in the STEPLIB concatenation.
  • The DFSDFxxx PROCLIB member specified by the DFSDF(xxx) keyword in the HRFSYSIN DD statement and the PROCLIB DD statement.

The following conditions must be satisfied to use IMS-managed ACBs:

  • The IMS catalog database must be registered to the RECON data sets
  • The name of the IMS catalog database must be defined in the RECON record with the following DBRC command: CHANGE RECON CATALOG(name)

The following libraries must be in the STEPLIB concatenation of the IMS Online Reorganization Facility job:

  • A library that contains the DFSMDA member of TYPE=CATDSHLQ, if dynamic allocation is used to specify the high-level qualifier of the IMS catalog system data sets
  • The load libraries of IMS High Performance utilities with the sufficient maintenance level
  • The SGLXLOAD library of IBM IMS Tools Base for z/OS 1.6 or later

If you want to change the database definition in a reorganization job, you can specify the NEWDBD(*STAGING) keyword to have IMS Online Reorganization Facility reload the database using pending database definitions in the IMS catalog staging data sets. The DFSACBPD DD statement is not needed.

For details, see the IMS Online Reorganization Facility User's Guide.

In addition, the following fixes have been applied in this APAR. The fixes are effective whether or not the IMS management of ACBs is enabled.
  • When ANALYZEPART or CONVERT or MAINTAIN or RESETILK command is specified in IHCSYSIN, HTK allocates HSSRSTAT, HSSRTRAC and HSSRSNAP DD internally if these DDs are not specified.
  • When ANALYZEPART or CONVERT or MAINTAIN or RESETILK command is specified in IHCSYSIN, except when READINT(N) parameter is specified for ANALYZEPART, HTK calls IMS High Performance Unload with ULU instead of DLI.
  • When ANALYZEPART(for HALDB) or MAINTAIN command is specified in IHCSYSIN, except when READINT(N) parameter is specified for ANALYZEPART, and when not all partitions are specified in PARTLIST or PARTITION parameter, HTK does not create FSHALDB DD.
  • When MAINTAIN command is specified in IHCSYSIN, IMS High Performance Load initializes the partitions instead of DFSUPNT0.
  • When CONVERT or MAINTAIN or BACKUPDBRC or COPYDBRC command is specified in IHCSYSIN, the timestamp of NOTIFY.REORG/NOTIFY.IC has been expanded from hh:mm:ss.t to hh:mm:ss.thmij (4 digits).

IMS Tools product or component IMS Database Reorganization Expert 4.1
Name Smart Reorg utility: DDEFPDS2 DD statement support to delete (DEL) and define (DEF) shadow data sets
Description This APAR enhances the Smart Reorg utility to support the DDEFPDS2 DD statement. DDEFPDS2 DD statement specifies a partitioned data set that contains the IDCAMS commands for deletion and allocation of each shadow data set. These IDCAMS commands are issued if SPACEALLOC=YES is specified.
Usage notes:
  • The name of each PDS member must be the same as the DD name of the original data set.
  • The names of shadow data sets can be any names. The names do not have to be the original name plus a suffix.
  • If not all the members of the database data sets are present in the DDEFPDS2 data set, the Smart Reorg utility generates the IDCAMS commands for the missing data sets.

The IDCAMS commands for each shadow data set are as follows:

DELETE (shadow.database.dataset.name)

SET MAXCC=0

DEFINE CLUSTER(NAME(shadow.database.dataset.name)...)

or ALLOCATE DSNAME('shadow.database.dataset.name') ...

To use the new DDEFPDS2 DD statement, the following APARs must also be applied:
  • APAR PH13318, which is a prerequisite of APAR PH15942, to IMS Database Reorganization Expert.
  • APAR PH14570 to IMS Index Builder 3.1 (FMID=H22O310)

IMS Administration Tool 1.1 (APAR PH11257/PTF UI63964)

IMS Tools product or component IMS Administration Tool 1.1
Name Support concatenating multiple IMS Administration Tool load libraries
Description

Before this APAR is applied, only a single IMS Administration Tool load library data set was supported when IMS Administration Tool runs in the IMS Tools Base Distributed Access Infrastructure (DAI) Tools Access Server (TAS) and Subordinate TAS (SOT) address space. This is because only one load library can be defined to the SATYLOAD DD statement during the product registration to the IMS Tools Base IMS Tools Knowledge Base repository. Due to this limitation, users had to store customized modules, such as ATY#OPTS and ATYSTFWD, in the same data set where the IMS Administration Tool product load modules reside.

This APAR enhances IMS Administration Tool to support a separate user customized load module library and have it concatenated at runtime.

This APAR changes z/OS back-end modules that run in the IMS Tools Base DAI SOT address space and behind the ISPF user interface. Users who use the web interface must apply APAR PH11245 in addition to this APAR.

Complete the following steps to store customized modules in a separate data set and have it concatenated at runtime:
  1. Store the customized modules in a data set (customized load library) that is different from the product load library.
  2. Register the customized load library to the IMS Tools Knowledge Base repository by specifying the library to DDNAME variable SYSLOAD with SCOPE=SYSTEM.

    The product load library must continue to be defined to DDNAME variable SATYLOAD.

    When IMS Administration Tool runs in the IMS Tools Base DAI SOT address space, the SYSLOAD data set is read before the SATYLOAD data set.

  3. Update the IMS control region and OM region JCL procedures by adding the SYSLOAD library to the STEPLIB concatenation and restart the IMS system.

After this APAR is applied, users can still use single load library, SATYLOAD. If users already have customized the SATYLOAD load library and do not wish to separate customized modules into a different data set, they do not need to take any action.

This APAR changes the following SATYSAMP sample JCL members to refer to the SYSLOAD data set: ATY$TSTA, ATY$TSTP, ATYASMOP, ATYASMSF, ATYBATCH, ATYBATRX, ATYBMP, ATYBMPR, ATYDLI.

If you have already customized sample JCL members, you must change them again after applying this APAR.

This APAR must be applied together with the following APARs:
  • Apply APAR PH11245 to IMS Administration Tool web interface.
  • Apply APAR PH11976 to IMS Tools Base to customize SYSLOAD with IMS Tools Setup.

Name Catalog Manager utility enhancement: Support IMS directory staging data set for the validate function
Description This APAR enables the Catalog Manager utility to validate the time stamps of ACBs in the IMS directory staging data set.

The validation function, which is invoked by FUNC=CHECK_GENTIME, checks the ACB generation time stamps of DBDs and PSBs in the IMS catalog, the IMS directory (active and staging data sets), and ACB libraries to ensure that DBDs and PSBs are consistent across those resources.

To validate the time stamps in the IMS directory staging data sets, the SGLXLOAD library of IMS Tools Base 1.6 or later is required.

IMS Database Reorganization Expert 4.1 (APAR PH12332/PTF UI63925)

IMS Tools product or component IMS Database Reorganization Expert 4.1
Name Smart Reorg utility enhancement: Support conditional unload
Description This APAR enhances the Smart Reorg utility to support conditional unload. The following two new control statements are available:
RC_CHANGE=(POLICY.ACTION.REORG,nn)
Changes the return code to nn when the Conditional Reorganization Support Service (CRSS) determines that the database requires a reorganization but reorganization has not been performed yet. This control statement can be specified with the CONDREORG control statement.
UNLOADONLY=YES
Calls only the Unload task to generate an unload file in the data set that the DFSURGU1 DD statement specifies. Reload task is not called. The database must be in a read-only state while being unloaded.
You can specify UNLOADONLY=YES in Unconditional Reorganization mode and Conditional Reorganization mode.
  • When CONDREORG=YES is specified, an unload data set is created only when the Conditional Reorganization Support Service determines that the database reorganization is necessary. For HALDBs, an unload data set is created for the partitions that require reorganization.
  • When CONDREORG=YES,REORGDIAG is specified, an unload data set is always created regardless of the results from CRSS policy evaluation. For HALDBs, an unload data set is created for all partitions.
  • When CONDREORG=YES,DIAGONLY is specified, the Unload task is not called and, therefore, unload data set is not created.

To enable conditional unload, APAR PH12333 must be applied to IMS High Performance Unload 1.2 (FMID=H1IN120).

Status Available, 28 June 2019
Enablement Apply this maintenance and code the new statements.

IMS Tools product or component IMS High Performance Image Copy 4.2
Name Support for large block interface (LBI) and Fast Path secondary indexes (FPSI)
Description

This APAR enhances the Image Copy function to:

  • Support the large block interface (LBI)

    A new keyword, LBI, has been supported for the GLOBAL statement.

    LBI=Y specifies to use the large block interface (LBI), which allows block sizes that are greater than 32 KB, when creating output image copy data sets.

  • Change the handling of Fast Path secondary indexes

    Formally, the Image Copy function required the IDXSRCH=Y option to identify FPSIs, and the area data set that uses the secondary index database must be processed in the same job step. After this APAR/PTF is applied, if FPINDEX=YES is defined in the DBD of the index database, the area data set does not have to be processed in the same job step.
