APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
File level restore will sometimes fail with the following error:
CPDB056 CPFA0D4 RC 3426 and CPD37A6. This error is caused by the
file level restore process trying to restore data before the
directory structure has been created. Two processes are spawned
to stream out the objects being restored. Sometimes output from
the second stream is pushed out before the first task is
complete which might have a dependency and cause an invalid path
error to occur when restoring.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE45596 :
-----------------------------
At restore time, it is possible for the restore task to try
restoring to a directory that does not yet exist since a
seperate task might be restoring the needed directory.  The code
will be fixed to recognize this scenario and wait for the other
task to complete before failing to create a file in a
non-existing directory.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE45596 :
--------------------------------
The files that did not restore on the first attempt can be
reattempted since the directory will that was needed should now
exist.
