PK51003: FABAHEXT ABEND S0C6 IF HPIC ADVANCED COPY SERVICES FASTIC=(,DUMP) RUNS IN PARALLEL

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• FABAHEXT, the DEDB Hash Check module, terminates with
  ABENDS0C6, if HPIC Advanced Copy Services FASTIC=(,DUMP) runs in
  parallel. The DEDBC reporting process should be serialized in
  all processes, but HPIC Advanced Copy Services don't currently
  don't serialize. If DEDBPC Hash Check runs in HPIC
  FASTIC=(,DUMP), you can get other unpredictable result.
  

Local fix

• Don't use FASTIC=(,DUMP)
  

Problem summary

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: HPIC V4R1 Image Copy function           *
  *                      terminates with ABEND S0C6 ( ABEND0C6 ) *
  *                      at FABAHEXT + X'E8BF' when FP database  *
  *                      data sets are processed in parallel     *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  HPIC V4R1 Image Copy function terminates with ABEND S0C6
  ( ABEND0C6 ) at FABAHEXT + X'E8BF' when FP database data sets
  are processed in parallel with DEDBPC=Y and FASTIC=(,DUMP).
  Because HPIC doesn't serialize the DEDBPC reporting process, the
  reporting process terminates with abend.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJFCDN has been modified to serialize DEDBPC FUNC=SCANTERM
  using ENQ/DEQ and to issue DEQ (RET=HAVE) macro at ESTAE routine
  for avoiding the duplicated ENQ for the same resource.
  
  The following modules have been reassembled.
   FABJFCD7 FABJFCD8 FABJFCD9 FABJFCDA
  

Temporary fix
