PH42427: OPTIONALLY IGNORE CHANGE PACKAGE INSTALL,NEWCOPY, OR DISCARD PROCESSING FOR REMOTE RGN CONNECTION THAT UNDEFINED/UNAVAILABLE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Change packages support the INSTALL, NEWCOPY and DISCARD
  processing of CSD changes into the runtime CICS environment for
  remotely managed regions. If the remote CICS region is inactive,
  processing fails to those regions as the connection is
  unavailable.
  
  The enhancement provides a user selectable option to ignore
  processing for those unavailable connections, thereby avoiding
  errors and user action. The option suits installations where
  stopped CICS regions are resumed with START=COLD or
  START=INITIAL processing, thereby installing resources afresh.

Problem conclusion

  via the TSO/ISPF online dialog or CCVBMAIN batch utility control
  cards to ignore processing for undefined or unavailable
  connections for change package INSTALL, NEWCOPY or DISCARD
  processing.
