BrightStor CA-1 Product Documentation ChangePDC# QI48357DATE: December 9, 2003RELEASE: 5.2ENVIRONMENT: MVSHYPER: NoSUBJECT: Enhancements - New, Modified, and Obsolete OptionsDESCRIPTION/DISCUSSION:CA-1 APARs QO48315, QO48317, and QO48318 introduce five new options, change four options, andremove two obsolete options. Changes were made to the ISPF panels that display or allow updates to theTMOOPTxx member, as well as to the parsing of the PPOPTION member during TMSINIT processing andreporting. The following documentation provides information about these changes and enhancements.RESOLUTION:OBSOLETE OPTIONSThe two obsolete options are TRUXPD and KEYDD. These options were added as support for Y2K toallow the option of treating keyword expiration dates as a true date or keyword dates. Since 1998/DDD and1999/DDD are no longer in conflict with true expiration dates, these options are no longer needed. If thesetwo options are present, you will receive an IEFTMS12 message when TMSINIT is run. However, in thiscase this is an informational only message. TMSINIT will still run successfully and process all otherparameters.MODIFIED OPTIONSThe four options that have been changed to accept additional values are LCHG, YSVC, FUNC, and ABE.LCHG, YSVC and FUNC have been changed to accept two new values of E or EXT (for EXTended).These options will still accept values of Y or YES and N or NO which will work exactly as they didpreviously.• The LCHG optionThe new LCHG value of E or EXT allows you to control label changes through an external securityrule. If LCHG is set to EXTended, a security call is done to determine if the label change will beallowed or not. This new security call is very similar to the security calls previously done by the FUNCoption. Within the class or key of CATAPE, CAT, or CA@APE (depending on your external securitysystem), a check is done on a resource of x2yRES.Vvvvvvv.UCBnnnn orx2yNORES.Vvvvvvv.UCBnnnn.- 'x' and 'y' are either 'S' for SL, 'A' for AL, or 'N' for NL- 'RES' or 'NORES' indicates if the volume is resident (defined to the TMC) or not- 'vvvvvv' is the volser of the volume whose label type is being changed- 'nnnn' is the UCB address where the label change is taking placePDC# QI48357
