Error description

  • The following FFDC statement is logged to ffdc logs in dmgr

Problem summary

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: There is an unwarranted FFDC entry in   *
*                      dmgr process during dmgr startup.       *

****************************************************************
If a datasource is defined at CELL scope and all relavent
variable definitions are created at a lesser scope, then the
dmgr process logs an FFDC during its startup. Though the
message is NOT harmful, it is confusing. The following message
is logged in FFDC logs:
