    This APAR is correcting the following problems:
    1.Sort capacity exceeded during apply. The avg. record length
    was set to 1000. This run experienced an avg. of more than 2000.
    Since the amount of changes was high, the sort capacity was too
    low.
    2.Cascading for DFSPPUE0 did not work. ORF's HRFOPPUE is
    relinked as DFSPPUE0. It should cascade to the next DFSPPUE0
    in the STEPLIB chain. However, this DFSPPUE0 was linked as RENT.
    While the cascading worked correctly, zOS LOAD returned the
    address of ORFs DFSPPUE0 instead. ORF then realized it was
    called the second time and returned without further cascading.
    3.When HALDB Toolkit installed its DBRC=NO feature, ORF
    requires the toolkit library in the steplib.
    4.Inflight updates detected during apply. ORF verifies that
    all updates are committed in the online system. When updates
    are detected that did not commit, ORF will not continue.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The following changes have been made for the above problems:
    1.Circumvention: Until a more robust solution can be developed,
    the avg. record length has been increased to 5000.
    2.Solution: SAMPLIB member HRFLKPPU was changed to REUS=NONE.
    Similar change has been done to HRFLKFLX.
    3.Solution: The //$$DBRCYY  DD DUMMY statement is allocated
    during startup. This avoids the loading of HALDB Toolkit modules
    4.Solution: More diagnostic has been added to determine what
    caused this.
