<strong>BrightStor</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-1 Product Documentation ChangePDC# QI35237DATE: March 5, 2003RELEASE: 5.2ENVIRONMENT: MVSHYPER: NoSUBJECT: Enhancement of Pointer Verification Utility TMSPTRSDESCRIPTION/DISCUSSION:This Product Documentation Change (PDC) describes the changes to TMSPTRS introduced by <strong>BrightStor</strong><strong>CA</strong>-1 APAR QO35140:• Support of a blocked SYSUT3 data set• Elimination of all device dependent code• Support of SYSUT3 synchronization from the Audit data set (without• PARM=ENQ specified) with unlike device types• Handling of Sort errors• Modification of the ERR85 message text• Elimination of unneeded report trailerThese enhancements have been published as APAR QO35140 and will also be included in Service Pack 5of Brightstor <strong>CA</strong>-1 Release 5.2.TMSPTRS uses a work data set specified as SYSUT3 DD. It holds a copy of the TMC catalog and is usedfor the actual validation of multivolume and multi-data set chains. This SYSUT3 data set can now beblocked to save disk space. The BLKSIZE may be any multiple of the LRECL, 340, and does not dependon the block size of the active TMC.Performance can also be improved by allocating the SYSUT3 data set in VIO storage. Any DASD or VIOdevice may be used without limitation.It is now possible to allocate SYSUT3 on a device which differs from the device type of the TMC, evenwithout specifying PARM=ENQ. This allows TMSPTRS to copy the TMC and to synchronize the copy fromthe Audit data set without issuing a RESERVE against the TMC. A U0999-04 abend is no longer issued ifunlike device types are found.If the internal sort of the DSNB records is not successful, TMSPTRS now displays the sort return code andterminates with CC=16:"RETURN CODE xxx FROM SORT - PROCESSING TERMINATED".The message text of ERR85, "VOLUME xxxxxx HAS A CONFLICT BETWEEN FLAG4 (TMACVOLI) ANDACTVOL" was expanded to read: "VOLUME xxxxxx HAS A CONFLICT BETWEEN FLAG4 (TMACVOLI)OR FLAG5 (TMVTEXP) AND ACTVOL". Since the ACTVOL field can also be used to save the volser ofthe physical container volume of an exported virtual tape, ERR85 may also indicate a conflict betweenACTVOL and bit TMVTEXP of FLAG5, the "virtual volume exported" indicator. The ACTVOL field shouldPDC# QI35237
