PH11069: CATALOG MANAGER FAILS TO COMPARE VERSION= AND EXIT= PARAMETERS OF DEDB OR MSDB IN ACTIVE IMS DIRECTORY WITH THESE IN DBDLIB

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the Catalog Manager utility compares active ACBs in the IMS
  directory with DBDs in the DBDLIB and these DB types are DEDB
  or MSDB, it fails to retrieve the VERSION and EXIT parameters on
   the DBD statement with GEX3510E message with RC=0000000C
  RSN=00000018.  Then the Catalog Manager reports the difference
  of these parameters between active IMS directory and DBD
  library.  The error condition is only for comparing active ACBs
  in the IMS directory with DBDs in the DBDLIB and DB type is DEDB
   or MSDB.

  This APAR fixes the Catalog Manager utility to retrieve VERSION=
  and EXIT= parameters on the DBD statement of active ACBs in the
  IMS directory and compare active ACBs in the IMS directory with
  DBDs in the DBD library correctly.
  
  When the utility compares DBD type ACBs in the IMS directory and
  these database types are DEDB or MSDB, the utility retrieves the
  value of VERSION= and EXIT= parameters on the DBD statement from
  PSB type ACBs which refer DBD type ACBs because DBD type ACBs do
  not have these values.
  
  When the Catalog Manager retrieves these values from active ACBs
  in the IMS directory, it opens the IMS directory for active ACBs
  at first.
  Though the Catalog Manager opens the IMS directory for active
  ACBs, the utility incorrectly tries to access the IMS directory
  staging data set and it causes the issue.
  
  When the issue occurred, the message GEX3510E with RC=0000000C
  RSN=00000018 is reported and the difference is reported for
  VERSION and EXIT parameters which can not be retrieved.
  
  This is caused only when the utility compares active ACBs in the
  IMS directory with DBDs in the DBD library and database type is
  DEDB or MSDB.
  
  The utility has been fixed to access active ACBs in the IMS
  directory correctly.
