Error description

  • FP Online Pointer checker (OPC) will provide a compression
    routine for Image Copy.  This will solve Performance and  ,
    DASD space problem that occur using the standard, non-FPO
    compression utility.
    This is a forward fit APAR of FPO V2R1 APAR PK04154.

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

  • Online Pointer Checker supports the High Performance Image Copy
    (HPIC) except for the standard IMS Image Copy when OPC creates
    an image copy data set.
    
    The new parameter comprtn is added to the IC keyword.
    OPC allows FABJCMP1, FABJCMP2 and FABJCMP3 as a compression
    routine.
    
    FPXPARM1 has been modified to allow a new format of IC keyword,
    IC=(YES|NO,comprtn).
    FPXOXIT1 has been modified to set BFTEK, RECFM, LRECL, and
    BLKSIZE into DCB for the compressed IC data set.
    FPXAICW0 has been modified to call FABJCMPx (HPIC module)
    to generate the compressed IC data set.
    FPXAICE7, FPXAICE8, and FPXAICE9 have been modified to issue
    FPX0074I message for the compressed IC data set.
    FPXTERM0 has been modified to add final processing for
    the compressed IC data set.
    FPXTERM7, FPXTERM8 and FPXTERM9 have been modified to add
    FPXICLST, a new DSECT of FABJCMPx parameter list.
    FPXMSG00 has been modified to add new FPX0123E message.
    
    FPXMBLK has been modified to add the work area for the
    compressed IC data set.
    FPXICLST has been added to define FABJCMPx parameter list.
    FPXUDHDR has been modified to change the equation definition
    of standard IC to avoid a duplication for Header DSECT
    definition of a compressed IC data set.
    
    ========================
    = DOCUMENTATION CHANGE =
    ========================
    The IMS High Performance Fast Path Utilities for z/OS
    User's Guide Volume 3: Fast Path Online Tools (SC18-9239-00)
    should be changed as follows:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Part 1. Online Pointer Checker
    Chapter 3. Using Online Pointer Checker
    INPUT
    DASYSIN data set
    The description of IC keyword of DASYSIN DD should be changed
    to specify the compression routine.
    
      IC Keyword
    
        The IC keyword lets you specify that an IMS standard image
        copy or High Performance Image Copy be taken while
        scanning the database area.
        This keyword is optional; if omitted, the default is NO.
        If the IC keyword is specified, but no value is assigned,
        the default is YES.
        The keyword comprtn is allowed only when HP Image Copy has
        been installed. If The keyword comprtn is omitted, Image
        Copy records are not compressed.
    
        The format of the IC keyword is:
    
    
                      +--------YES-------------+
                      |                        |
          >>---IC=--------------------------------------------><
                      |                        |
                      +------------------------+
                      |  |                  |  |
                      |  +-----NO-----------+  |
                      |                        |
                      +--(YES|NO)--------------+
                      |                        |
                      +--(YES,comprtn)---------+
    
        The variable field of the new IC keyword format is defined
        as follows:
    
           NO Specifies that no image copy is to be taken. You can
              specify just N rather than NO.
           YES Specifies that an image copy is to be taken. You can
              specify just Y rather than YES.
           comprtn Specifies the name of the compression routine
              that is provided three compression exit routines:
              FABJCMP1, FABJCMP2, and FABJCMP3 by HP Image Copy.
              To specify the comprtn, High Performance Image Copy
              is required.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    
    Appendixes. Messages:
    
    The FPX0123E message description should be added as follows:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    FPX0123E Compression routine compression_routine is not loaded.
    ABEND CODE: Sxxxx REASON CODE: yyyy.
    
    Explanation: The compression routine has not been loaded.
    High Performance Image Copy (HPIC) library may be not
    concatenated to the STEPLIB library.
    System Action: Processing terminates with a return code of 8.
    
    User Response: Correct the incompatible specification, and
    resubmit the job.
    
    Issuing Module: FPXPARM1
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    
    The FPX0074I message description should be added to existing
    message texts as follows:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    FPX0074I Image Copy using compression_routine completes.
    Record count nnnnnnnn
    
    Explanation: Image copy processing has completed using HPIC
    compression routine successfully. The number of records
    processed is shown.
    System Action: Processing continues.
    
    User Response: None. This message is informational.
    
    Issuing Module: FPXAICE7, FPXAICE8, FPXAICE9
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    
    The FPX0003E message description should be changed as follows:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    FPX0003E Error(s) processing dataset.
    
    Explanation: This message is issued for one of the following
    reasons:
     .The DD name specified with the OFILE or RFILE keyword is not
     allocated to the job
     .The message data set identified with the RFILE keyword could
     not be opened
     .The DEVTYPE macro for the FPXOFILE DD data set failed
     .The DYNALLOC macro for the FPXOFILE or the ODESORT DD data set
     failed
    
    This message might be accompanied by the following additional
    text:
    
    Function = typ DD name = ddname MVS RET and RSN codes are:
    rc + rsn
    
    Explanation: The accompanying text identifies the following
     associated with the failure:
     .typ
       The failing operation
     .ddname
       The DDNAME associated with the file
     .rc
       The MVS return code associated with the failure
     .rsn
       The MVS reason code associated with the failure
    
    | System Action: Processing generally terminates with a return
    | code of 12. In module FPXOXIT0 and FPXOXIT1, processing
    | terminate with abend code 3509.
    
    User Response: If the error was due to a DD name with keyword
    OFILE or RFILE not allocated to the job, supply the appropriate
    DD statement and resubmit the job. For other errors, determine
    the nature of the problem with the data set, correct it,
    and resubmit the job.
