Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: IMS users with IMS Database Recovery         *
  *                 Facility Version 3 Release 1 installed.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR provides new function to the  *
  *                      DRF V3R1 product.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF      *
  ****************************************************************
  This APAR will address two requirements opened by users against
  the DRF V3R1 product.
  
  MR0411076935
  Provide a capability to use a single generic started task name
  for all recovery subordinate address spaces started by DRF.
  
  MR0722046753
  Add the STC number to the DRF reports.  The addition of the
  STC number will provide an additional unique identifier for
  each subordinate address space.
  

Problem conclusion

• AIDS: RIDS/UTIL RIDS/DBS DBS/UTIL
    GEN:
  
  *** END IMS KEYWORDS ***
  FRXEDRF, FRXEDRF0, FRXEPSS0, FRXEWSP, FRXLACR0, FRXRWSP, and
  FRXVWSP are changed to support a new ASGNAME parameter on the
  SORTPARM sysin keyword.  The ASGNAME parameter will allow users
  to indicate if the generic DRFSORT name is to be used for all
  subordinate address spaces.
  
  FRXICTL0, FRXPDSR0, FRXPSDS0, FRXRIPL, and FRXRVGB are changed
  to obtain and save the STC numbers for each subordinate address
  space.  The STC numbers are saved in the FRXRIPL control block
  and passed over to report processing.
  
  FRXGRPT0 is changed to list the generic subordinate address
  space name DRFSORT if ASGNAME was specified.  The reports are
  also changed to list the STC number next to each subordinate
  address space name.
  
  FRXEPQS0, FRXGAPI0, and FRXGRDM0 are recompiled due to control
  block changes in FRXRIPL.
  
  If running with IMS High Performance Pointer Checker Version 2
  Release 2 (HPC2220) then the following APAR is required:
    PK50142
  
  The following DOC change is implemented:
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  IBM IMS Database Recovery Facility for z/OS (SC18940702)
  User's Guide and Reference Version 3 Release 1
  Chapter 3. Defining and tailoring the IMS Database Recovery
             Facility environment
  
  Under the SORTPARM keyword the following description for
  ASGNAME is included:
  
  ASGNAME(Y|N)
    Use this parameter to set a generic Standard Task Control
    (STC) name for the subordinate address spaces created by the
    IMS Database Recovery Facility. This is an optional
    parameter.
  
    Y  Specifies that IMS Database Recovery Facility will
       override all subordinate address spaces in order to use
       DRFSORT as the STC name.
    N  This is the default. See ASPREF, below, for the default
       method of subordinate address space naming conventions.
