Error description
For encryption of VSAM files with zDMF, there are some CI sizes that cannot be processed if CIs can cross a cylinder boundary. These are excluded, and an error message GZD4104E is issued. However, this restriction does not apply to logical copy processing, and such datasets should be processed without any error message.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Migration using Logical Copy if activation * * determines a Convert to Extended operation * * was requested and the record size and CI * * size indicates that a CI might be split * * across cylinders. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: zDMF Logical Copy uses System Deter- * * mined Blocksize so Logical Copy should * * not encounter this error. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** zDMF does not check if this is a Logical Copy migration before issuing the error message stopping the group.
Problem conclusion
zDMF will now check if Logical Copy is being used for this migration and will bypass the test for this condition.
