Error description

• Service information for 5697-J06 IBM Backup and Restore Manager
  for z/VM 1.2.0
  .
  This PTF incorporates the following updates:
  .
  Additional detection/toleration of damaged CMS file systems.
  This update extends handling of damaged EDF label data and
  DIRECTOR FST content during CMS minidisk file-level backup.
  When a malformed EDF DASD label or a DIRECTOR FST entry with
  damaged contents is encountered, the situation is now reported
  to the console along with a diagnostic dump of the damaged
  structures. An attempt is made to continue with the file-level
  backup, and an additional image backup task is inserted in to
  the job stream.
  .
  This update also addresses a bug in EUMDREOV (Tape Manager/
  DDR-output mode end-of-volume processing); the update corrects a
  problem causing EUMBKRMT (Tape Manager/regular mode mount) to
  be driven during EOV handling instead of EUMDRMNT.
  .
  Bug fixes to FBA block-image backup processing.
  This update introduces the following changes:
  .
  1) Extraneous debug traces in DUMPFBA (FBA block-image backup
  packaging routine) are disabled.
  .
  2) Calculation of space required for CMSFILE backup of FBA
  block-image backups has been modified.
  .
  3) A bug in BKRREST (XEDIT panel dialog for FBA block-image
  RESTORE) data validation has been corrected.
  .
  Removes 32K-cylinder limit constraint from ECKD image backup.
  This update removes constraints which prevented track-image
  backup or restore processing for ECKD volumes with more than
  32K cylinders.
  .
  Miscellaneous changes:
  - Update sample backup job template files:
  .
  SAMPLNX TEMPSAMP - Updated comments; added sample configuration
  information for IBM Operations Manager for z/VM.
  .
  Updated VMSES/E Build Lists:
   - None
