Zaps as of version 1.2M
Inserting program corrections
Starting with RestartPlus version 1.2M, we supply binaries instead of zaps. It is therefore required to renew all RestartPlus files (see new installation) to insert (program error) corrections or to update to a new version.
The patch level is now also displayed in the ISPF interface and the RestartPlus Agent's report.
Format: Version patch level
Example: 1.2M-0000
CustomerZaps
So far, RestartPlus releases did not include CustomerZaps (CZ). They were only provided for particular customers and had to be assumed independently for new maintenance versions. CustomerZaps do not remove program errors but change the behavior of RestartPlus .
As of version 1.2M, CustomerZaps can no longer be inserted and are no longer provided. However, this program includes the functions of four selected CustomerZaps (version 1.2F) which can be activated and deactivated as required.
- CZR0200 – This zap changes the CLASS of message 133 from I(informational) to X(debug). This means that this message will only be output in debug mode.
Message: UCR0133,'DATASET HAS BEEN DELETED: %44C, RC=%F%L'
This message is only be output by the Runtime Module after it has been called by IDCAMS (catalog program ). - CZR0201 – Zap causes any steps that abend to be considered as failed regardless of the values specified for STEP GI RC or JOB HI RC
- CZR0202 – Zap removes volume from DYNALLOC parameter list.
Circumstances: Restart fails to DYNALLOC journal dataset with a reason code that indicates it is not on the specified volume. - CZR0203 – Zap checks users RACF access to the resource "ISPF.JOURNAL.WRITE". If the user has update access to this resource, the user can update the journal using the ISPF interface.
- CZAP0204 DD card - The Runtime module ends with ABE007 in the AJRRRUN module in case the LOCATE call causes an error for the new GDG generation, so GDG is not defined in the system. Default behavior is to ignore the error and the GDG reference will be saved with relative name /gdg-base-name(+1)/.
You can activate the functionality of these CustomerZaps independently of one another:
The Step Library of RestartPlus contains the Dummy Load Module UC4CZX00. Copy this file for each CustomerZap which should be activated and rename it accordingly.
| File name | Activated CustomerZap |
|---|---|
| UC4CZ200 | CZR0200 |
| UC4CZ201 | CZR0201 |
| UC4CZ203 | CZR0203 |
| DD name | Activated CustomerZap |
|---|---|
| CZAP0204 | CZAP0204 |
When starting RestartPlus , the system checks if there are Load Modules of these names in the Step Library. The behavior of the corresponding CustomerZap is activated for each matching file.
