Error description
PREREQUISITE missing causes SMP/E to issue a LINK-EDIT error GIM23911E. . GIM23911E LINK-EDIT PROCESSING FAILED FOR MODULE DSN3EOT0 IN LMOD DSN3AMGP IN THE SDSNLOAD LIBRARY. THE RETURN CODE WAS 04. THE SEQUENCE NUMBER WAS 000007. . The LINK-EDIT error message. IEW2454W SYMBOL SDMAGARR UNRESOLVED. NO AUTOCALL (NCAL) SPECIFIED. . Symbol SDMAGARR was added by APAR PH57331 (UI94831/UI94832). But PTF UO03404 (v12) and UO03405 (v13) do not pre-req PTF UI94831 (v12) and UI94832 (v13).
Local fix
Apply PH57331 first before installing APAR PH65837 (UO03404/UO03405).
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All v13 Db2 for z/OS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When applying apar PH65837 * * UO03404 (v12)/UO03405 (v13), * * it can return the following error: * * GIM23911E error occurred when * * applying PTF for DB2V13 * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply corrective PTF when available * **************************************************************** PH65837 references a macro created in PH57331, therefore it needs to have a prereq relationship with PH57331. When applying PH65837 without first applying PH57331, system will return the GIM23911E error message because the new control block that was referenced by PH65837 cannot be found from Db2's base source code.
Problem conclusion
Db2 has been modified to prevent GIM23911E error when applying PH65837.
