    ****************************************************************
    IMS Database Recovery Facility (DRF) may create duplicate
    "IIUIN" data sets to be passed to IMS Index Builder (IB) for the
    same DB when both of the following conditions are met:
    - DRF recovers multiple HALDBs with ADD IB by specifying the
      partition name in ADD DBDS or the master DB name in ADD DB
    - The master DB names that correspond to the partitions are
      nested when all partitions to be recovered are sorted by
      partition name
    
    This results in duplicate calls to IB jobs. Depending on how the
    master DB name is nested, there may be cases where an IB job is
    invoked for only one DB, even though multiple HALDBs have been
    recovered.
    DRF internally creates a "HALDB Master DB name table" during
    HALDB recovery. However, there are some logic problems related
    to the creation of this table, which caused this issue.
    
    This APAR also corrects the following issues that occur in cases
    where DFSPREC0 utility is scheduled for multiple HALDB
    recoveries with ADD IB (HALDB(ILEF/BOTHF)).
    - When specifying multiple partitions in ADD DBDS and specifying
      ADD IB (HALDB(ILEF/BOTHF)) for some of them and trying to
      schedule DFSPREC0 utility, DFSPREC0 may not be scheduled even
      though ADD IB is specified.
    - When recovering a HALDB with DSG (Data Set Group) by
      specifying a partition with ADD DBDS, if you try to schedule
      DFSPREC0 utility by specifying ADD IB (HALDB(ILEF/BOTHF)) for
      the second or later DBDS of DSG of the same partition,
      DFSPREC0 may not be scheduled even though ADD IB was
      specified.
    

Problem conclusion

  • FRXVSTA2 is changed to correctly create "HALDB Master DB name
    Table" during HALDB recovery.
    
    FRXVSTA2 is also changed to correctly schedule DFSPREC0 utility
    when recovering multiple HALDB partitions with ADD IB
    (HALDB(ILEF/BOTHF)) specified.
