PK76756: DELETE/DEFINE ERROR FOR DBDS WITH MULTI-CANDIDATE VOLUMES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The recover to copy function as specified with DISP(NEW)
  OUTPUT(DUP | PRO) allocates only the primary volume of database
  datasets with multi-candidate volumes.
  DRF allows the VOL() parameter on the DBDSL statement which will
  define the DBDS with multi-candidate volumes.  However, if the
  original DBDS has multi-candidate volumes and the VOL()
  parameter is not specified, processing is successful but the
  DBDS is defined with only the primary volume.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: DRF customers that specify the option to     *
  *                 have database data sets with multi-candidate *
  *                 volumes to be deleted and redefined as part  *
  *                 of the recovery process.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After recovery processing has deleted   *
  *                      and redefined the database data sets,   *
  *                      only the primary volume was carried     *
  *                      forward on the define.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The logic for DEFINE processing supported multi-candidate
  volumes when the DBDSL statement included the VOL() parameter.
  When the VOL() parameter was not specified, the DEFINE was only
  performed with the primary volume.
  

Problem conclusion

• The DEFINE logic has been modified to support a DBDS with
  multi-candidate volumes.
