Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IMS Tools Online System * * Interface in IBM Tools Base V1.8 * * (FMID=HAHN180). * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When TOSI replaces a DMCB (DEDB Master * * Control Block) by the REPLDMCB action * * command, the FPSI CRTE (DEDB Secondary * * Index Cross Reference Table Entries) in * * the active DMCB are not copied to the * * new staging DMCB. As a result, the new * * DMCB does not keep the active CRTE * * runtime state after REPLDMCB. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR. * **************************************************************** TOSI REPLDMCB action command builds a new DMCB (DEDB Master Control Block) from the staging data set of IMS directory. However, the FPSI CRTE (DEDB Secondary Index Cross Reference Table Entries) in the new DMCB do not keep the runtime values from the active DMCB. This can cause sparse exit state or partition exit state to be lost after the replace.
Problem conclusion
The following modules and macros has been modified: FOIAM80E FOIAM80F FOIAM80X +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | To make this maintenance effective, you must restart IMS | | control region. | +--------------------------------------------------------------+
