Error description
************************ APAR Template ************************* *=============================================================== ======== Environment: 5724C04MS Tivoli Enterprise Management Server 6.30 FP6 Severity: 3 Problem Description: HUB TEMS may output 'false' occurrences of the RAS1 message of the following format ==> ~ ~ ~ ~ ***ERROR: for RRN <3931>, (oldest) Index TS <garbage_data > does not match TSITSTSH TS <1160704132623084> ~ ~ ~ ~ These 'false' messages are benign. In spite of the 'false' error messages, the intended functional behavior of the code is performing correctly. Detailed Recreation Procedure: This is a regression introduced by APAR IV67076. The 'false' messages are caused by a simple variable initialization error in a memset() statement. There is zero risk to correcting this memset() statement. If the TEMS builds successfully on all supported platforms, there will be no risk exposure. This APAR needs to be included in 6.30 FP7 to eliminate PMR penetration/volume. L2 reports at least 5 or 6 PMRs, based on this error messages, have been handled by L2 in recent months. It is ironic that an new RAS1 message was added as a 'just in case' for a condition that should never occur, yet an incorrect variable initialization is actually causing the 'false' occurences of the RAS1 message. Work-around: None Approver: BEH Initials of L3 engineer that approved APAR creation
Local fix
None [Ignore the message]

In spite of the 'false'error messages, the intended functional behavior of the code is performing correctly. However,when these 'false' messages do occur there are large numbers of the message appearing in TEMS RAS1 log files. Here is example of message at issue ==> ***ERROR: for RRN <1883>, (oldest) Index TS < !m?? > does not match TSITSTSH TS <1160704131915110>
Problem conclusion
Corrected code that caused 'false' messages to be logged in RAS1 logs.
