CCDC replication should be restarted when an unexpected error occurs.

We are suffering with an issue where CCDC replication stops for unknown reasons. It has been almost two years since we opened the case TS014238021, but we still don't know the cause. An APAR PH65595 has been opened for this issue, but no PTF has b...

Automation Tool incorrectly building RUNSTAT jobs when TS has NPSI being RUNSTAT

If 65 partitions of a RPN with NPSIs are being reorg at the same time, 65 IC tape drives would be required. That is excessive and probably all shops can't support that. Even when no NPSIs, this would be a problem. HAA generates LISTPARTS 4096 when...
