PH39191: REMOTE Z/OS SEARCH AND REMOTE Z/OS FILE SEARCH TRIGGERS INVALID TAPE MOUNT WHEN FILTER CONTAINS AN ACTIVE DATA SET ON TAPE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Explorer for z/OS - zExplorer
  IBM Developer for z/OS - IDz
  
  When using Remote z/OS Search, or Remote z/OS File Search, if
  the target of the search is a filter containing an active data
  set on tape, this might trigger an invalid tape mount, in which
  the data set name is missing, for example:
  IEC501A M 0C80,555444,SL,COMP,RSED3,STEP1,
  
  This might also cause a S413 abend:
  IEC145I 413-50,IFG0195H,RSED3,STEP1,SYS15442,0C80,555444, 213
  SYS1.VTOC
  
  The related RSED threadpool might hold exclusive access to the
  tape volume as a result of this error.
  
  The fix for this issue will detect active data sets on tape for
  non-VSAM and non-GDG data sets and will treat them as offline
  datasets.
  

Local fix

• zExplorer does not support active data set on tape, which is
  not a common media for active data sets.
  
  If the RSED threadpool holds exclusive access to the tape
  volume after this error, cancel the RSED threadpool. A new
  threadpool will automatically come up if needed.

  ****************************************************************
  01.zRSE host may handle the discovery of volsers on tape device
     incorrectly. The zRSE host now detects the tape device type
     of non-VSAM dataset in catalog search and will treat these
     as offline datasets. Browse and Search for these datasets
     will be skipped. Note: Remote z/OS File Search to skip
     offline datasets implementation is introduced in APAR
     PH37195.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.The zRSE host now detects the tape device type of non-VSAM
     dataset in catalog search and will treat these as offline
     datasets. Include the required properties bundles in the
     utility package for it to load and work properly.
