PI61954: DURING FORWARD MIGRATION FROM V6 TO V800, THE PROPCTL ATTRIBUTE SHOULD BE SET TO V6COMPAT, AFTER BACKWARDS MIGRATION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During forward migration from V6 to V800, the PROPCTL
  attribute should be set to V6COMPAT.
  The V800 forward migration code in CSQIERS3 is making
  this change, but it is not getting hardened to page
  set 0 in the case where the queue-manager was previously
  migrated to V710 and then back to V6 (the reason for
  this is that CSQIERS3 is not setting object_changed and
  object_length_changed is not set due to the previous
  migration to V710, so no update to the object on the page set).

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When a Queue Manager is migrated to V710 from V6, the Queue
  objects are updated to set the PROPCTL value that was not
  present in V6. This correctly sets this value to
  PROPCTL(V6COMPAT). However in the case where the QMGR is
  migrated back to V6, and then forward again to V800, the PROPCTL
  value will be changed to PROPCTL(COMPAT), which is incorrect
  behaviour. This is due to the object definition not being stored
  when this value is set during the migration.
  

Problem conclusion

• Processing to update object definitions after migration has been
  updated to correctly store the updated definition, including the
  PROPCTL value.
