Error description

  • Users of the DB2 Administration Tool for z/OS who submit
    generated customization IBM Tools Customizer for z/OS (TCz) to
    specify HPU V4.2 can see errors in various Admin Tool jobstream
    scenarios that require HPU UNLOAD.
    .
    Problem is caused during TCz customization of the 3 HPU parms:
    .
      (Global) High Performance Unload (HPU) enabled
      (Global) HPU load library
      (Global) HPU parameter library
    .
    The problem is seen when the HPU parameter library field is
    populated with the HPU LOAD lib instead of the PARM lib.
    .
    The help panel for the HPU Parm lib is not correct. Help (PF1)
    leads one to think it is the SINZLINK lib.
    .
    PF1 shows:
    Subsystem default data set name for the High Performance Unload
    (HPU) SINZLINK parm library when HPU is enabled. This variable
    is ignored if HPU is not enabled.
    .
    Do not specify the HPU SINZLOAD data set, since this may cause
    an abend because of APF-authorization issues.
    .
    That is what is displayed when one hits PF1 in the field for
    (Global) HPU parameter library . . .
    .
    .
    The correct response should be SINZPARM lib.
    .
    Error messages from failing jobstreams appear similar to:
    .
    INZU224I IBM DB2 HIGH PERFORMANCE UNLOAD V4.2
    INZU219I PTFLEVEL=HPU-420-BASE-VERSION-CD4

               CONTACT INFOTEL
    INZU366I UTILITY RETURN CODE 8 (REASON CODE 0x107a003)
    However, I also found that selecting HPU V420 from the launchpad
    generated error:
      PLIB002E : SYNTAX ERROR ON LINE 1
                 IN THE MEMBER INZDDSNB OF THE PARMLIB

    The fix is to update the TCz context-sensitive help
    information for input field 'HPU parameter library' with
    'SINZPARM' instead of 'SINZLINK'.
    
    - The 'Debug' input field on DISCOVER panel CCQPDSC
    allows a blank value when it should not.
