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'                          
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 Disk from GTZPRMxx in order to suppress the above entry?

Environment

Release : Disk Backup and Restore 12.5

Resolution

If all the below DISK PTFs are applied: 

RO65878
RO73544
RO95355
RO95747
RO96147
RO96151
RO96187
RO96189
RO99395
SO07221
SO07521

then 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
)
