PM57937: DATABASE INFORMATION FOR 'DDDDDD' WAS NOT FOUND USING THE PARTITION DEFINITION UTILITY

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When bringing up the IMS HALDB Partition Definiton utility
  using the ISPF command  EXEC 'hlq.SDFSEXEC(DFSHDSRT)' 'HLQ(hlq)'
  receive the message Database information for 'dddddd' was not
  found.
  This happens when the IMS DD statement already allocated and
  dataset hlq.DBDLIB does not exist.
  An error message should be issued when bringing up the
  Partition Definition Utility indicating IMS DD statement is
  not allocated rather then encounter a database not found
  condition
  

Local fix

• Issue the ISPF command ALLOC F(IMS) DA('xxx.DBDLIB') SHR
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IMS V11 HALDB Partition Definition  *
  *                 Utility (DFSHDSRT) may be affected.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: User received error message: DSPM001I   *
  *                      DATABASE INFORMATION FOR dddddd WAS     *
  *                      NOT FOUND.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF      *
  ****************************************************************
  The DSPM001I message indicates to the user the database name
  entered is not found in the DBDLIB.  The message was
  misleading in this case because the root cause was that the
  IMS DD statement that contains the DBDLIB was not allocated,
  and the search for a DBDLIB in the form of 'hlq'.DBDLIB was
  not successful.
  
  Logic should be added to differentiate between the condition
  where the DBDLIB is not allocated versus the condition where
  the database name entered is not found in the DBDLIB.
  

Problem conclusion

• GEN:
  KEYWORDS:
  
  *** END IMS KEYWORDS ***
  Modules DFSHDSRT and DFSIX10 have been changed to resolve the
  issue.  Logic has been added to issue message DFSIX107 if the
  IMS DD statement is not allocated, and the DBDLIB data set
  name is not in the form of 'hlq'.DBDLIB.
  
  IMS V11 Messages and Codes Volume 1, will be updated by adding
  message DFSIX107 as follows:
  
  DFSIX107  THE DBDLIB WAS NOT FOUND: dddddd
  Explanation: The IMS DD statement is not allocated, and
               the data set name is not in the form of
               'hlq'.DBDLIB.
  System Action: The Partition Definition Utility is started.
  System Programmer Response: Select option 6 on the PDU panel
                              to view IMS DD statement.
                              User can either allocate the IMS
                              DD statement that contains the
                              DBDLIB, or change the DBDLIB
                              data set name to: 'hlq'.DBDLIB.
