DirMaint 1.5.0 Support for CMS 2.1.0 APAR VM59897 (CRC Errors)

Last Updated: 1999-02-08     (Subscribe to updates)

Symptoms:

Message DVHBIN6325E from DirMaint Release 5 when running in one of these environments:

  • VM/ESA CMS level 12 (VM/ESA 2.1.0) with APAR VM59897 (PTF UM27508)
  • VM/ESA CMS level 13 (VM/ESA 2.2.0) base

DirMaint uses the CMS PIPELINES CRC stage to calculate a checksum to assure that the source and object directories are synchronized. The above mentioned APARs and VM release change the result from the CRC stage making it appear that they are out of synch.

Correction:

Basically the source directory needs to be initialized using the latest level of the CRC stage to calculate the "new" CRC value, then the new object directory can be created and used. This can be done from the DIRMAINT id by:

  • IPL "old CMS"
  • DVHBEGIN
  • USER BACKUP
  • SHUTDOWN
  • IPL "new CMS"
  • COPYFILE USER BACKUP G USER INPUT E (REP OLDDATE
  • ERASE USER DIRECT E
  • DVHBEGIN
