PI97597: FC INCREMENTAL BROKEN BUT NOT REPORTED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the SLB is in incremental status (i.e. - a START-INCREMENTAL
  was issued and no subsequent END-INCREMENTAL has been issued),
  it is possible that the flashcopy relationship can been broken
  outside of Db2 Recovery Expert, and the next SLB taken will be
  full and not incremental.  With this fix, Db2 Recovery Expert
  will check that there is an existing incremental relationship
  before taking incremental SLBs, and if one does not exist, then
  processing will end with RC=8.
