POINTER CHECKER PLUS

PROBLEM:

When the IBM IMS Database Image Copy utility (DFSUDMP0) is executed for HALDBs with Pointer Checker Plus active, NOTIFY.IC processing is bypassed for the first partition in the job step.  The image copy statistics will be in SYSPRINT but there is no message 'DSP0021I RECON DATA SETS SUCCESSFULLY UPDATED' message for the first (or only) partition.  This problem started with maintenance level RSL1707 for PCP V5.0.00 only.
 

SOLUTION:

PTF BQQ3220 will correct the problem.  BQQ3220 will be available from eFix PTF Distribution Services on Friday, 8 December 2017.  If the PTF is required sooner, the sample JCL in this article can be used to obtain a file with BQQ3220 and 4 prerequisite PTFs from the BMC FTP site.

//*
//* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *
//* The following changes must be made to this sample JCL. (Please maintain
//* the case sensitivity)
//* 1. TSO EDIT; CAPS OFF
//* 2. Add a jobcard
//* 3. Change "HILVLQ" to a valid high-level-qualifier
//* 4. Change "mine@company.com" to your email address in the FTPGET step.
//* 5. This is an SMP/E solution.  Use the PTF file to receive and APPLY
//*    PTF BQQ3220 for FMID ZDLI500.
//*    The PTF file includes 34 pre-requisite PTFs at maintenance level RSL1707.
//*    If the PTFs have been previously applied,they will not be received in
//*    SMP/E.
