Error description

  • The following datasets will exhaust all available extents during
    
    AFOZSR2 (distribution library). Service application
    
    encountered B37 (out-of-space) abends due to
    
    insufficient available space in the dataset.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM Open Enterprise         *
    *                 Foundation for z/OS 1.1                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SMPE dataset AFOZSR2 (distribution      *
    *                      library) reached its available space    *
    *                      limit, resulting in B37 (out of space)  *
    *                      abends during the application of new    *
    *                      service.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this PTF and follow                    *
    *                 the ++HOLD ACTION instructions to            *
    *                 reallocate AFOZSR2 before applying next PTF  *
    ****************************************************************
    The following datasets may require additional space to
    accommodate normal PTF processing:
    
    AFOZSR2 (Distribution Library)
     Original allocation SPACE (CYL,(350,50,50))
    
    When service containing new tools is applied, the dataset
    reaches its extent limit (14 extents), which can result in a
    B37 abend if further allocation is needed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • IBM is releasing a corrective update to the IBM Open Enterprise
    Foundation for z/OS 1.1 to resolve dataset space exhaustion in
    the AFOZSR2 distribution library, and to correct the install
    sample JCL to allow AFOZSR2 to be reallocated independently
    on existing installations.
