Issue/Introduction

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

INSTANCE:      8                   COUNT:         2                  
EVENTDESC:     'SMS-E:1 DCB OPEN EAS 113-44'

EVENTDATA:     x0000000000000000   x0000000000000001                  
PROGRAM:       ADSDM083            PROGRAMOFFSET: x000000000000050A

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 Disk from GTZPRMxx in order to suppress the above entry?

Environment

Release : Disk Backup and Restore 12.5

Resolution

DISK fully supports EAV, so the above exception should be considered as a 'false' error and it can be ignored. If it is necessary to remove this error from the IBM Tracker, based on the IBM documentation for Generic Tracker Parameter, the following definition should be coded in member GTZPRMxx :

/* Disk (non-VSAM) */

EXCLUDE(
EVENTDESC='SMS-E:1 DCB OPEN EAS 113-44'
PROGRAMTYPE=NOPATH PROGRAM=ADSDM083
)

 

 

The Disk FDS (files dataset) can not be on an EAV-Extended volumes.    The Maximum is  65,536 tracks.
