PK43716: HPIC DOES NOT REGISTER IMAGE COPY IN DBRC, FINISHES WITH RC=08, WHEN FASTIC=(PREF,DUMP) & MAXIMUM CONCURRENT SESSIONS REACHED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When FASTIC=(PREF,DUMP) is specified, and the maximum
  number of concurrent sessions reaches it's maximum,
  HP Image Copy continues to process by direct Data Base Data
  Set access (normal image copy).  But HPIC does not register
  the output IC data set into DBRC and terminates the process
  with RC=08.
  HPIC will now register the IC with DBRC, and complete with RC=0
  for this situation.
  

Local fix

• no work around

  ****************************************************************
  When connection section of the concurrent copy is over the limit
  number, HPIC V4R1 Image Copy Function with FASTIC=(PREF,DUMP)
  continues to create image copy data set but the IC record in
  DBRC is not registered and the process terminates with RC=8.
  When the FASTIC=(PREF,DUMP) is requested and the number of
  concurrent copy session reaches to maximum, the logical copy of
  concurrent copy phase fails but the physical copy phase
  continues to create image copy data set. But HPIC checks the
  return code from DFSMSdss at logical copy phase and regards the
  process as error.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJDFCN has been modified to check whether DFSMSdss physical
  copy process has completed or not. If physical copy has
  completed, HPIC considers that the Image Copy process has ended
  normally, even though return code of DFSMSdss is not zero.
  
  FABJFCDN has been modified to register Image Copy record into
  DBRC, when DFSMSdss physical copy has completed.
  
  The following modules have been reassembled:
    FABJDFC7, FABJDFC8, FABJDFC9, FABJDFCA, FABJFCD7, FABJFCD8,
    FABJFCD9, FABJFCDA

  The message FABJ4241I is added.
  
  | FABJ4241I  PHYSICAL COPY PROCESS WILL BE CONTINUED BECAUSE
