PK60690: NEW AUTHORIZATION EXIT TO VALIDATE IMSPLEX NAME

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• DBRC Log Selection can cause RECON data sets to become unusable
  when the IMSPLEX parameter is specified but not activated in
  DBRC. CHANGE.RECON NOPLEX is required to resolve the problem.
  
  A new Request Authorization exit called IPIUAUTH is being
  introduced. The exit is called by DBRC Log Selection to validate
  the IMSPLEX specification.
  The exit as supplied (IPIUAUTH in SIPISAMP library) stops all
  DBRC requests if IMSPLEX is specified.
  Note that the exit is optional, and if not installed, then all
  requests are allowed.
  
  Upon APAR completion apply USERMOD IPIU002 (which will be
  located in SIPISAMP library) to install and activate the exit.
