IC58383: FAILED NO RESTART EVENT STATUS ADDED WITH CODE CHANGES FOR APAR IC55610 IS NOT DOCUMENTED UNDER QUERY EVENT

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• A new temporary event status "Failed By Mgr" was added
  with code changes documented by APAR IC55610.
  
  Prior to IC55610, if the TSM server detected a loss of
  network connection, or a client scheduler session was
  terminated due to IDLETIMEOUT, the TSM server would set
  the event status to FAILED.
  
  The TSM client could reconnect and finish the operation,
  but then fail to be able to update the scheduled event
  to SUCCESS, TSM server would report ANR2576W message on
  the second attempt to set the event status.
  
  TSM server will now set an event to "Failed By Mgr" if
  the status is set by TSM server due to communications
  failure or timeout on the TSM server.  This new event
  status can be overwritten to a final event status of
  SUCCESS or FAILED as appropriate when the operation
  completes.
  
  TSM Administrator's Reference should document the new
  event status under QUERY EVENT, and explain why an event
  may be in this state, and what final event status it
  can change to.
  
  Affected Levels: 5.4.4+ and 5.5.1+ TSM servers on all platforms
  Initital impact: Low

Problem conclusion

• Add the "Failed - no restart" status to the QUERY EVENT command
  output explanation. Add the clarification to the topic:
  
  Command Reference
      Administrative Commands
          QUERY EVENT (Query scheduled and completed events)
                 QUERY EVENT  client schedules
  
  Status
  ...
  Failed - no restart
  
  Specifies an intermediate status, when a client session is
  interrupted by a communications error or timeout on the
  server.  This status can be changed to a final status of
  "Completed" or "Failed" when the event completes.
