PM12100: LOCK STATUS IS KEPT AFTER RESTORING AN UNLOCKED BACKUP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Lock status of a composite application is kept after restoring
  an unlocked backup.
  
  After restoring an application which is in locked status, the
  restored application is
  always locked, even if the application was in unlocked status
  when the backup
  was created. As the lock status is part of application metadata
  information, the restoration should recover all the status,
  include lock
  flag, which is stored in backup version.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create an application
  2. Select the application and ensure it isn't locked.
  3. Make a backup for the application .
  4. After backup is done, lock the application
  5. Restore the application with the backup version just created
  Expected:
  *The application is successfully restored.
  *The application 's status is NOT locked.
  Problem:
  *The application is locked.
  
  This APAR changes the restore process to correctly set the lock
  state of backup.
  

Local fix
