Error description
IMS APAR PH40873 supports Logical DBD in the IMS directory. When some functions of IMS Library Integrity Utilities (LIU) processes Logical DBD in the IMS directory, LIU ends with 8. So LIU will also support Logical DBD in the IMS directory.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IMS Library Integrity Utilities (LIU) for * * z/OS, Version 2 Release 2 (FMID=H27P220) * * users who use the Catalog Manager utility * * and LIU under IMS Administration Tool. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR enables the Catalog Manager * * utility and Library Integrity Utilities * * under IMS Administration tool to * * support logical DBD in the IMS * * directory which is supported by IMS * * APAR PH40873. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR. * **************************************************************** This APAR enhances the Catalog Manager utility and Library Integrity Utilities (LIU) under IMS Administration Tool to support logical DBD in the IMS directory which is supported by IMS APAR PH40873. After applying the PTF for IMS APAR PH40873, user can generate logical DBD in the IMS directory. The Catalog Manager utility validates, decodes and compares logical DBD in the IMS directory. It also generates maps of logical DBD in the IMS directory. Since GSAM and logical DBD do not exist in ACBLIB, the comparison feature has been modified to prevent warnings from being reported in both the Compare Summary report and return code. LIU under IMS Administration Tool also supports logical DBD in the IMS directory. The features of the IMS catalog space and DBD/PSB analysis and the object explorer support logical DBD in the IMS directory. For more information about these features, see the user's guide of IMS Administration Tool. This APAR also fixes LIU under IMS Administration Tool to decode DBLEVEL parameter in PSBGEN statement. ======================== = DOCUMENTATION CHANGE = ======================== IBM IMS Library Integrity Utilities for z/OS V2R2 User's Guide (SC19-3979) Refer to topic "What's new in IMS Library Integrity Utilities" (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ims-liu/2.2 ?topic=overview-whats-new-in-ims-library-integrity-utilities) in IBM Documentation for doc changes associated with this APAR.
