IO08280: BACKUP PCF FILE IS NOT CREATED DURING A REMOTE MIGRATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When migrating a system with a remote migration package, the
  backup OS product control file (PCF) ADX_SPGM:ADXCSTSD.V?M is
  not created.  When migrating to V5, ADX_SPGM:ADXCSTSD.V4M should
  be created so that the user is able to restore the previous
  PCF file and enable the store to be remigrated after a failed
  migration attempt.  This is the way it works for local
  migrations.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The migration process did not consider backing up the OS product
  control file (ADXCSTSD.DAT) when performing a remote migration.
  

Problem conclusion

• Added validation in order to backup the ADXCSTSD.DAT file to
  the ADXCSTSD.V4M file for the remote migration.
  

Temporary fix

• In your RCP Command file, make a copy of the PCF file before
  running any of the migration commands.
