PI92517: CHECK-DATASET-COMPATIBILITY DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT SHARED DASD

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• To check source and target data sets compatibility Cloning Tool
  invokes IDCAMS utility to obtain data set attributes and
  compares them. Currently IDCAMS is invoked on the source
  LPAR for source and target data sets both. If target data
  sets are not accessible from the source job then IDCAMS
  error occurs and wrong messages about data set attribute
  mismatches can appear. This fix allows to invoke IDCAMS
  utility for target data sets on the target LPAR from the
  TCPIP server job.
  

Local fix

• Specify CHECK-DATASET-COMPATIBILITY(N)
