PH46133: BACKUP PROGRESS REPORTING IN STATUS OUTPUT: BUG FIX

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• New function - Output of the primary backup server (BKRBKUP)
  service vitual machine's "STATUS" command has been
            enhanced to provide backup progress information when
            a worker (BKRWRKnn) SVM is backing up large MDISKs
            or file spaces.
  
            This change extends new function provided via
            service for APAR PH42721 (PTF UI78527).
            When a worker issues message BKRWPU9623I to
            document task progress in the worker backup job log,
            it will share this status with BKRBKUP. BKRBKUP's
            "STATUS" command output will report progress on
            a newly-added second line of output.
  
  Example:
  
  xxx Cut Here xxx
  Worker info as of 15:50:38:
    BKRWRK01 - Processing job ZVM73EAF/00000003, task 11 of ...

            details of configuring in-job progress reporting,
            variations of message BKRWPU9632I, and extensions
            to the BKRBKUP "STATUS" command response.
  
  
  Bug fix  - Under some conditions, new catalog entries for
             the first task after a failed backup task
             may be suppressed.
  
             This update corrects a housekeeping issue in
             backup job processing that could suppress
             hand-off of new catalog data for the first
             backup task executed after recovery from a
             failed backup task. Although data is successfully
             backed up, the associated catalog entry was
             discarded.
