Issue/Introduction

Checking the  IBM Generic Tracker Facility (GTZ) report, it can contain the below error, related to CA DISK program ADSDM083 'not potentially compatible'  with EAV : 

INSTANCE:      8                   COUNT:         2                  
EVENTDESC:     'SMS-E:1 DCB OPEN EAS 113-44'                          
OWNER:         IBMCNZ              SOURCE:        CNZTRKR            
EVENTDATA:     x0000000000000000   x0000000000000001                  
PROGRAM:       ADSDM083            PROGRAMOFFSET: x000000000000050A  
HOMEJOB:       DMSAR               HOMEASID:      x0267              
EVENTJOB:      DMSAR               EVENTASID:     x0267              
AUTHORIZED:    YES                 FIRST TIME:    2020-11-11 14:24:53 

 

could this be a 'false' error message? 

If this is the case, how is it possible to exclude CA Disk from GTZPRMxx in order to suppress the above entry? 

 

Environment

Release : 12.5

Component : CA Disk Backup and Restore

Resolution

If all the below CA DISK GA PTFs are applied: 

RO65878
RO73544
RO95355
RO95747
RO96147
RO96151
RO96187
RO96189
RO99395
SO07221
SO07521

then CA DISK fully supports EAV, so the above exception should be considered as a 'false' error and it can be ignored. 

That said, if it is necessary to remove this error from the IBM Tracker, based on the IBM documentation at the link below:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.ieae200/gtzprmxx.htm

the following definition should be coded in member GTZPRMxx :


/* CA Disk (non-VSAM) */

EXCLUDE(

EVENTDESC='SMS-E:1 DCB OPEN EAS 113-44'

PROGRAMTYPE=NOPATH PROGRAM=ADSDM083

)
