Error description
CI310 PARMGEN 4Q16B IF enhancements
Local fix
Symptom #1: KCIJPLOD job encounters a JCL error in the KDSSQL1 step if the PARMGEN RTE_PLIB_HILEV work dataset HLQ is different from the RTE_HILEV runtime dataset HLQ. Description #1: The WKANSAMU reference needs to use the RTE_PLIB_HILEV value for the PARMGEN work dataset. Resolution #1: Apply the PARMGEN 4Q16B IF PTF for APAR OA51503 when it is available. In the interim, modify the WKANSAMU DD of the KDSSQL1 step of the PARMGEN KCIJPLOD job to use the RTE_PLIB_HILEV HLQ. Symptom #2: KCIJPUSS job encounters a RC=256 in the KCIJARPX step if the OMEGAMON for JVM V5.3.0 Agent is configured for a Full RTE type or a non-SMP-sharing RTE that shares with read-only base libraries. Description #2: The KCIJARPX is failing on the bpxbatch step that copies and unpacks the hca_31,pax and hca_64.pax Health Center Agent pax files: /* For Full RTE or Sharing with Base, read-only RTE type: */ /* Expand/Refresh the Health Center Agent pax files into */ /* /rtehome/LPAR1/kan/ */ /* This will create the Health Center Agent directories. */ /* For example: /rtehome/LPAR1/kan/hca_31 */ /* /rtehome/LPAR1/kan/hca_64 */ bpxbatch sh cd + '/rtehome/LPAR1/kan/bin/IBM/../..';+ pax -ppx -rf + '/rtehome/LPAR1/kan/bin/IBM/hca_31.pax'; bpxbatch sh cd + '/rtehome/LPAR1/kan/bin/IBM/../..';+ pax -ppx -rf + '/rtehome/LPAR1/kan/bin/IBM/hca_64.pax'; These pax files are only made available by the OMEGAMON for JVM Agent FMID (HKJJvvv) starting in V5.4.0 only. Resolution #2: Apply the PARMGEN 4Q16B IF PTF for APAR OA51503 when available. In the interim, one may safely ignore the RC=256 in the KCIJARPX step of the KCIJPUSS job. The other TKANJAR files shipped with OMEGAMON for JVM V5.3.0 (i.e., the kjj.jar) was still properly copied/refreshed from the TKANJAR Install directory to the runtime version of the TKANJAR USS directory. Symptom #3: The PARMGEN KCIJPALO job needs to provide PDSE V1 currency for z/OS ITM datasets such as RKANDATV to allocate it as a PDSE V1 for customers that have not yet applied the DFP APAR PTFs that provide PDSE V2 support and site's using PDSE V2. PDSE Data set version is controlled by customers based on their site-specific SYS1.PARMLIB(IGDSMSnn) settings. Description #3: z/OS ITM infrastructure does not require for the RTE datasets concatenated in the z/OS TEMS or z/OS Agent address spaces to be PDSE V2 format. To avoid the ABEND 0F4 @ startup (when datasets are allocated as PDSE V2 format), the PARMGEN KCIJPALO jobs must specify DSNTYPE(LIBRARY,1) for a number of read-only RK* datasets if RTE_SMS_PDSE_FLAG=Y PDSE flag is enabled. PARMGEN PTF UA81228 and later maintenance provided the DSNTYPE(LIBRARY,1) support for most of the runtime datasets. The remaining datasets such as UKANDATV need to also be enforced as a PDSE V1 format until customers are able to apply the DFP APARs tracked in PDSE V2 format / DFP FMID HZD2vvv PTF UA81278/UA81279/UA81280/DFP APAR OA45431 technote: URL http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21984143 Resolution #3: Apply the PARMGEN 4Q16B IF PTF for APAR OA51503 when available. In the interim, ensure that both RKANDATV and UKANDATV datasets are allocated with DSNTYPE(LIBRARY,1) specification in the KCIJPALO job.
