Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to a new version of CA-ACF2 and now during the IPL receiving numerous ACF79600 messages indicating various GSO records are obsolete. Why?

Environment

Release:
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

The message ACF79600 WARNING - record IS AN OUTDATED type RECORD FOR SYSID sysid - indicates that the GSO record has changed from the prior release.

For the ACF79600 WARNING - xxxxxx IS AN OUTDATED GSO RECORD FOR SYSID messages about GSO record, these messages are issued after a site upgrades and the format of the GSO record changed with the upgrade. To eliminate the message a site can update an existing field to the same value or change the GSO record in question, refresh it, and the message will then no longer appear. The update or change will cause the GSO record's format to be updated so it will no longer be 'outdated'.

The change of the GSO record can be for just one field and the value can be the same as the existing value. For example if the message is:

ACF79600 WARNING - EXITS IS AN OUTDATED GSO RECORD FOR SYSID SYSA
ACF79600 WARNING - BACKUP IS AN OUTDATED GSO RECORD FOR SYSID SYSA
ACF79600 WARNING - INFODIR IS AN OUTDATED GSO RECORD FOR SYSID SYSA
ACF79600 WARNING - CLASMAP IS AN OUTDATED GSO RECORD FOR SYSID SYSA
ACF79600 WARNING - TSO IS AN OUTDATED GSO RECORD FOR SYSID SYSA
ACF79600 WARNING - LINKLST IS AN OUTDATED GSO RECORD FOR SYSID SYSA

Additional Information

F ACF2,TRACEGSO will show all record keys being read from the database at startup or refresh.
The output will show which record needs to be updated.
For example:

ACF79506 GSO REFRESHING LINKLST
ACF79575 CGSO U-RETURN FOR SYSID: SYS1     RECID: LINKLST.ABC STATUS:
COMPLETED
ACF79575 CGSO RETN-RSB FOR SYSID: SYS1     RECID: LINKLST.ABC STATUS:
COMPLETED
ACF79575 CGSO U-RETURN FOR SYSID: SYS1     RECID: LINKLST.XYZ STATUS:
COMPLETED
ACF79575 CGSO RETN-RSB FOR SYSID: SYS1     RECID: LINKLST.XYZ STATUS:
COMPLETED
ACF79600 WARNING - LINKLST IS AN OUTDATED GSO RECORD FOR SYSID SYS1
ACF79507 GSO PROCESSING COMPLETED WITHOUT ERROR

This output shows that the LINKLST.ABC record is okay, but LINKLST.XYZ record needs to be "refreshed"
