Issue/Introduction

 I confirmed we have RO74259 applied.  We are still have issues as you can see in the XCOM syslog

Message IDC1644I is generated when attempting to perform the BIX IDCAMS action to build the AIX datasets using the short seed record.  Messages IEC161I with return codes 039-061 and 038-061 are generated when the CA

 XCOM server is started with the resultant empty AIX datasets.

IDC1644I ALTERNATE INDEX KEY NOT IN BASE RECORD 00000000000000000000

IDC1653I XCOM.COMREQ.AIX BUILT WITH ERRORS

IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 4

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS

Cause

The XCOMUTIL sample JCL ( in CAI.CBXGJCL) h an incorrect LRECL for the generated history seed record.  This record is generated by IEBDG and should be LRECL=8080.

 The sample JCL generates it with LRECL=120.  This is not a problem in cases where records remain in the XCOMHIST dataset after the archival processing.

 If the XCOMHIST is emptied, the seed record is required and is too short to support building the AIX datasets correctly.

Resolution

RO74259 XCOM V12.0 SAMPLE JCL MEMBERS HAVE INCORRECT/MISSING DATA is also required.

ST10650 XCOMUTIL SAMPLE HAS WRONG LRECL FOR GENERATED SEED RECORD corrects an LRECL in the XCOM XCOMUTIL sample JCL. This fix will only update the sample.
Will be published as SO10650.
