PI60535: STORAGE OVERLAY BY GDPS HEALTH CHECK CAUSES ABENDS IN OTHER HEALTH CHECKS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• GDPS health checks may store data outside their 2K check work
  area (PQEChkWork). This could cause ABENDs or other unexpected
  results in GDPS or other health checks. This APAR corrects
  the modules associated with health checks GDPS_CHECK_NUMUCBS,
  GDPS_CHECK_GRS, and GDPS_CHECK_SPOF. Also see APAR PI53008 for
  correction of similar defects in other GDPS health checks.

Problem conclusion

• GDPS health checks exploiting GEOHCP parmlib parameters
  have been changed to avoid storage overlay.
  HOLD ACTION DATA:
  The PTF for this APAR updates the VPC8C0xx load modules for
  GDPS Health Checks GDPS_CHECK_NUMUCBS, GDPS_CHECK_GRS, and
  GDPS_CHECK_SPOF.
