PK56481: REQUEUE AT COLDSTART SHOULD BE ABLE TO INCLUDE THE OLDS DATA SETS THAT MAY CONTAIN THE DUMPQ CHECKPOINT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Requeue at coldstart should be able to include the OLDS data
  sets that may contain the DUMPQ checkpoint. This might be needed
  in a case where an archive may fail and a requeue from an
  earlier DUMPQ is not acceptable.
  
  
  Additional problem fixed: INCLUDE not working on RECOVERDM.
  Messages get scrapped instead of being selected.
  The problem is that QCF is looking for the name of the
  destination one byte to the right, thus for example, the
  destination name or 'PART' would becomes 'ART', and the
  requested destination is not selected.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of QCF3.1 which use RECOVERAB,         *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Selection of log records to be          *
  *                      reinserted on the queues uses the       *
  *                      archved logs to find the start check    *

  *                      checkpoint and most of the records.     *
  *                      IQCSELCT has been changed to use the    *
  *                      OLDs if they are available and not      *
  *                      overlayed - and to replace the selected *
  *                      PRISLDS with the OLDS, still useable.   *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Selection proccess has been changed to replace the selected
  PRISLDs with the OLDs that are still available. RECON is used to
  find the list of PRISLDs , then the PRISLDs are replace with
  their OLDs still availabe and useable and the following OLDS are
  added at the end of the list. This list is used to find the
  appropriate checkpoint and to extract the messages records.
  

Problem conclusion

• Selection process has been changed both for IQCSELCT using CHKPT
  LAST.. and for IQCABAT0, that uses skeletons to create real
  procedures for RECOVERDM, RECOVERAB and REPROCESS.
