Error description

  • When multiple tablespaces are added to the Migrate scope, and a

    set name for these template has .Snum qualifier appended, which
    can make data set name longer than 44 characters.

    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Db2 Administration Tool for z/OS    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Migrate job generation fails when       *
    *                      a utility template resolves to a        *
    *                      non-unique data set name (DSN) near the *
    *                      44 character limit.                     *
    ****************************************************************
    When migrating multiple objects using SYSPUNCH, MICTLOU,
    or MICTLOV templates, the resolved template DSN could be
    identical across objects.
    Appending a uniqueness qualifier caused the DSN to exceed
    the 44 character MVS limit, resulting in a JCL error.
