Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The AD server dynamically allocates the RECON datasets to obtain
  the database information. However, since they are not
  deallocated, the AD server continues to hold the RECON datasets.
  
  Although the AD server received:
  DSP1141I  RECON LOSS NOTIFICATION RECEIVED, JOB=adserver
  Another job that tried to enqueue the RECON received:
  IEF861I FOLLOWING RESERVED DATA SET NAMES UNAVAILABLE
  IEF863I DSN = ims.recon RC = 04 RSN = 00000000 FROM SERVICE ENQ

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Autonomics Director server          *
  *                      continues to hold the RECON datasets.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR and      *
  *                 restart the Autonomics Director server.      *
  ****************************************************************
  The Autonomics Director client retrieves the database
  information from the AD server when displaying the database list
  with the AD client. The AD server dynamically allocates the
  RECON data sets to obtain the database information. However,
  since they are not deallocated, the AD server continues to hold
  the RECON data sets.
  

Problem conclusion

• To avoid this situation, the AD server has been corrected to
  release all data sets allocated. If the AD server still holds
  the RECON data sets, deallocate them with the following command:
  
  REFRESH SERVER NAME(server_name) TYPE(RECON) OPTION(DEALLOC)
  
  And provide an option to deallocate RECON data sets using the
  ISPF interface.
