Problem conclusion

• The problem resulted because the Selector considered IMS log
  records that are of no direct importance during the gathering of
  IMS changed data.  The possibility for this problem to occur was
  allowed a result of changes made to the Selector to satisfy
  earlier Selector APAR PM83491.  Maintenance associated with
  earlier Selector APAR PM83491 (PTF UK92713) allowed the leading
  edge processing time for the Selector to be moved forward, even
  when no records of interest to the Selector where encountered
  during a particular Selector run.  In order to satisfy the
  requirements of APAR PM83491, the Selector may consider IMS log
  records that have no direct relation to the capture of IMS
  changed data.
  The problem will not occur when the Selector is processing data
  from a single IMS subsystem.  The problem will also not occur
  when the Selector uses the IMS log subset CDSDS for processing
  input, regardless if processing logs from a single IMS subsystem
  or when merging IMS log data from multiple IMS subsystems.
  Stated differently, the problem may only occur when the Selector
  processes complete IMS logs (not CDCDS) from multiple IMS
  subsystems.
  In the revised code of the new fix for APAR PM98181, we
  continue to maintain the leading edge time stamp in order to
  continue to allow for resolution of prior APAR PM83491.
  However, only time stamps from records of interest to IMS change
  data capture processing and not other IMS log records will be
  considered when merging IMS replication log data, thus avoiding
  the reported problem.
