Our site have an option to protect volumes with datasets from INIT with ICKDSF and when we run Recovery expert with option : Reinit Space Efficient Volumes it fail with messages :
09:58:46 ARYS278I - Task 01 - Unit 9A01 was initialized with volser Z1D001.
09:58:46 ARYS248E - Task 01 - Error invoking ICKDSF. Please check file SYSPR01T for problem determination.
and IN ICKDSF we see :
ICKDSF - MVS/ESA DEVICE SUPPORT FACILITIES 17.0 TIME: 09:58:46 02/02/24 PAGE 1

ICK00700I DEVICE INFORMATION FOR 9E00 IS CURRENTLY AS FOLLOWS:
PHYSICAL DEVICE = 3390

ICK03096I EXISTING VTOC IS LOCATED AT CCHH=X'0000 0001' AND IS 464 TRACKS.
ICK32179I DATA SETS EXIST ON VOLUME
ICK30003I FUNCTION TERMINATED. CONDITION CODE IS 12
after opening a ticket to IBM support they ask to change system default settings and this is not a good option for us because it protect from human errors
We propose to add this as an option added by Recovery Expert when it generate the the ICKDSF sysin
Without that we can't automacticly reinit space efficient volumes and recover space
