BMC provided PTF BPQ5422 as the fix for the problem we reported. They advised after application of this PTF and requisites the BMC products Change Accumulation Plus, Image Copy Plus and Recovery Plus for IMS will be compatible with the REFRPROT option. Support also advised that the BMC Recovery Manager for IMS product was not affected by the REFRPROT implementation (no PTFs are required for the IRM product).

For the BMC utilities Change Accumulation Plus, Image Copy Plus, Recovery Manager for IMS and Recovery Plus for IMS there is no circumvention to this problem. To make this easier to recognize for others the failure might look something like this *680 BMC8354R DBRC CANNOT BE INITIALIZED - START DBUSS AND REPLY "R" TO RETRY OR REPLY "C" TO CANCEL BMC8354C DBRC INITIALIZATION FAILED (ICP) CSV019I REQUESTED MODULE DBITERA1 NOT ACCESSED, IS IN NON-APF LIBRARY/CONCATENATION CSV028I ABEND306-0C JOBNAME=DSS37ZVW STEPNAME=JS001 +BMC8300C DBRC SIGNOFF FAILED; SSID MUST BE REMOVED MANUALLY +BMC8522C CONTROL CARD PROCESSING COMPLETED WITH ERRORS (ICP) ==================== This email/fax message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
