Error description

  • The first run of DFHRMUTL against a DFHGCD containing only the
    overstart override SET_AUTO_START=AUTOINIT parameter, the output
    is as follows for the AUTOINIT:
    .
    ===DFHRMUTL CICS RECOVERY MANAGER BATCH UTILITY===
    .
      SET_AUTO_START=AUTOINIT
    .
    ---DFHRMUTL:   DFHGCD information
       No recovery manager record found. GCD assumed empty.
    .
    ---DFHRMUTL:   DFHGCD updated information
       Recovery manager auto-start override   : AUTOINIT
       Recovery manager next start type       : UNKNOWN
    Note: a CICS system that was shutdown warm, and which
    has no indoubt, commit-failed or backout-failed Units
    Of Work keypointed at that time, can safely be restarted
    cold without loss of data integrity.
    DFHRM0315I AUTOCOLD OR AUTOINIT SHOULD NOT BE USED.
    .
    DFHRMUTL already knows this is a GCD with overstart override,
    yet the code that checks the state of the outstanding UOWs does
    not recognize this state.
    .
    DFHRMUTL gives misleading information when run against
    a newly initialized GCD which contains a single record.

    ****************************************************************
    Running DFHRMUTL against a Global Catalog that was reinitialised
    and updated by a previous run of DFHRMUTL results in message
    DFHRM0315I being incorrectly issued.  Message DFHRM0315I should
    only be issued to indicate that INITIAL or COLD should not be
    specified because CICS was not shutdown in a controlled manner
    or there are shunted UOWs.

                         AUTOCOLD INIT
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHRMUTL has been changed so that message DFHRM0315I will not
    be issued if DFHRMUTL is run against a reinitialised global
    catalog.
