Issue/Introduction

With Datacom PTF LU13844, a new condition for Online Area Move (OAM) was introduced which has not been documented in any HOLD DATA information.

Environment

Z/OS

Datacom 15.1 

Resolution

The affected database (dbid) used in the OAM process must have been opened at some time during the life of the Datacom Multi-User (MUF) but may have been closed again before an OAM can be started. 

The reason is that certain control blocks need to be present in memory in order to avoid internal errors . These control blocks are built whenever the base is opened in the MUF .

Error message DB02817E has a new ERROR - variable-info of "NOT IN MEMORY" when these control blocks are not present.  

Run MUF console-like command 'OPEN_BASE dbid' to open the base in the MUF before running the OAM.
