Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IMS Recovery Solution Pack:IMS  *
  *                 High Performance Change Accumulation utility *
  *                 Point-In-Time Change Accumulation (PITCA)    *
  *                 and batch logging.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DFS2803I RECORD COUNT = 0000000 FOR     *
  *                      DDNAME DFSULOG CHANGES ACCUMULATED = NO *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply APAR and use checkpoint commands in    *
  *                 update jobs.                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  When batch logging is used for update jobs there is no
  checkpoint record written at the end of the update job.
  With no checkpoint record HPCA does not determine the unit
  of Recovery (UOR) is no longer In Flight.  PITCA does not
  accumulate changes for UORs.
  

Problem conclusion

• The High Performance Change Accumulation utility is changed to
  use accounting records ACBTCHT (batch IMS ended) and ACSTOP
  (IMS stopped) to determine the UOR is no longer In Flight.
  

Temporary fix
