    ****************************************************************
    This APAR fixes following troubles in IMS HP Image Copy:
    1. NOTIFY.IC command failure when using COPY process of
       Advanced Image Copy function with NOTIFYMODE=COND.
       It occurs when running the Advanced Image Copy function
       with following keywords combination:
       - FASTIC=(opt,COPY)
       - DATAMOVER=ADRDSSU
       - NOTIFYMODE=COND
       - Without VOLSER= keyword
    2. IC data set open error by RACF due to using invalid data set
       name when using OFFLDSTACK=ddn and ddn is allocated as JCL
       DD card.
       It occurs when running the Advanced Image Copy function with
       following keywords combination:
       - FATIC=(opt,COPY)
       - ICOUT=(opt,%STACK)
       - OFFLDSTACK=ddn and ddn is allocated in JCL
    3. ABEND U2999 ( ABENDU2999 ) occurs when using OFFLDSTACK=*
       with either TASKCTL or GRPLIM keyword.
       It occurs under following conditions:
       - AIC, ACIC, FUNC=AIC, or FUNC=ACIC
       - FASTIC=(,COPY)
       - DATA_MOVER=ADRDSSU
       - ICOUT=(opt,%STACK)
       - OFFLDTYPE=S
       - OFFLDSTACK=*
       - Specified fewer number of tasks in TASKCTL= or GLPLIM=
         than target DBDS/area.
    4. Create image Copy function and Recovery function terminates
       as error when they detect warning in DFSMSdss process but
       restore process ends normally.
    5. PREF option is not applied DFSMSdss DUMP command when using
       COPY process of the Advanced image Copy function and
       creating secondary image copy with standard format.
    6. IMS HP Image Copy terminates withe ABEND S378-24
       ( ABEND378 , RSN24 ) when OPEN process of primary image copy
       data set fails in creating Fast Recovery Image Copy format
       as secondary image copy data set.
       It occurs if the logical copy failure is detected in
       creating process of secondary image copy data as Fast
       Recovery format.
    7. Wrong volume names are reported in the Image Copy Dump
       Process report.
       It occurs under following conditions:
       - FASTIC=(opt,COPY) is used
       - DATAMOVER=ADRDSSU is used
       - OFFLDTYPE=F is used
       - VOLSER= keyword is provided but DFSMSdss uses the
         different volumes
    8. Correct IMS HP Image Copy message text.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 1. NOTIFY.IC command failure when using COPY process of
       Advanced Image Copy function with NOTIFYMODE=COND.
       IMS HP Image Copy gets correct volume information from
       FlashCopy process and uses it at image copy notification.
    2. IC data set open error by RACF due to using invalid data set
       name when using OFFLDSTACK=ddn and ddn is allocated as JCL
       DD card.
       IMS HP Image Copy builds correct data set name and uses it.
    3. ABEND U2999 ( ABENDU2999 ) occurs when using OFFLDSTACK=*
       with either TASKCTL or GRPLIM keyword.
       IMS HP Image Copy created unnecessary internal ddnames then
       dd names were ran out.  IMS HP Image Copy does not allocate
       unnecessary DD name.
    4. Create image Copy function and Recovery function terminates
       as error when they detects warning in DFSMSdss process but
       restore process ends normally.
       IMS HP Image Copy checks DFSMSdss process RC and reason
       correctly.
    5. PREF option is not applied DFSMSdss DUMP command when using
       COPY process of the Advanced image Copy function and
       creating secondary image copy with standard format.
       IMS HP Image Copy applies PREF option to DFSMSdss DUMP
       command of secondary IC.
    6. IMS HP Image Copy terminates withe ABEND S378-24
       ( ABEND378 , RSN24 ) when OPEN process of primary image copy
       data set fails in creating Fast Recovery Image Copy format
       as secondary image copy data set.
       IMS HP Image Copy corrects its internal control block
       trouble.
    7. Wrong volume names are reported in the Image Copy Dump
       Process report.
       IMS HP Image Copy sets correct volume information in the
       report.
    8. Correct message text.
       ========================

       ========================
       The word 'PARAMETER' are used in some message texts.  It
       should be 'KEYWORD' instead.  Following message texts are

       A new message FABJ4224W ( MSGFABJ4224 ) is added by this
       APAR:
       FABJ4224W LOGICAL COPY FAILED BUT PHYSICAL COPY CONTINUES
                 BECAUSE
                 - FASTIC=(PREF,DUMP).
                 or
                 - HPIC IS USING FASTIC=(PREF,DUMP) FOR THE OFFLOAD
                   COPY PROCESS.
       Explanation: Message ADR735W was issued and DFSMSdss logical
       copy process has failed, but the physical copy process will
       be continued.  Because IMS HP Image Copy uses preferred for
       Advanced Image Copy Services.
       System action: Continue the process.
       User response: None
    
       Change message text of FABJ4253E ( MSGFABJ4253 )

       FABJ4238E LOGICAL COPY FAILED FOR DB/AREA dbdname DDN ddname
                 DSN data_set_name
       Explanation: Logical copy processing for the specified
       database data set has failed using FASTIC= processing.
       System action: Image copy processing fails.
       User response: Correct the error, and rerun the job.
