PK46960: HPIC WILL PROCEED WITH IMAGE COPIES OF DATA BASES THAT ARE PART OF A STACK OPERATION, EVEN IF ONE OR MORE DB'S FAIL /DBR

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR is opened to report that, if a /DBR for one of the
  DB's included in a STACK operation, HPIC bypasses that DB and
  continues Image Copy processing for the other DB'ss in the
  STACK. This creates an output tape that's not what the user
  expected.  To correct this, HPIC will ensure that all DB's that
  are part of a STACK must be successfully /DBR'd before Image
  Copying the data bases.
  

Local fix

• no work around
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All IMS High Performance Image Copy for z/OS *
  *                 Version 4 Release 1 users ( FMID=H1J0410 )   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: HPIC V4R1 creates an output stacked     *
  *                      image copy data set which is contrary   *
  *                      to the user's expectations, if an error *
  *                      has occurred in one of the DBDSs.       *

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  HPIC V4R1 creates an output stacked image copy data set which is
  contrary to the user's expectations, if an error has occurred in
  one of the DBDSs.
  
  When a user specifies STACK=ddname keyword in ICEIN control
  statement, all the image copies which are corresponding to the
  ddname should be stacked to the DD.
  So, if an error, such as failure of /DBR command has occurred in
  one of the DBDSs, HPIC stacking process must be stopped.
  But now HPIC continues stacking image copies of the other DBDSs
  that are processed normally, and creates partly stacked image
  copy data set. This is not what the user expected.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJCRC0 has been modified to stop succeeding process when an
  error has occurred.
  
  FABJTOI has been modified to set error flag in stacking control
  block when /DBR has failed. This error flag indicates that the
  stack DD is not to be processed.
  
  FABJDMPN has been modified to check error flag which is set in
  FABJTOI processing. If the error flag in a stacking control
  block is set, FABJDMPN considers that the DD needs not to
  process.
  
  FABJDFCN and FABJDPSN have been modified to bypass processing
  the stack DD which is flagged 'error'.
  
  FABJFCDN has been modified to avoid issuing the message for
  bypassed DBDS.
  
  The following modules have been reassembled.
   FABJDFC7, FABJDFC8, FABJDFC9, FABJDFCA, FABJDMP7, FABJDMP8,
   FABJDMP9, FABJDMPA, FABJDPS7, FABJDPS8, FABJDPS9, FABJDPSA,
   FABJFCD7, FABJFCD8, FABJFCD9, FABJFCDA
