Hi,
Compuware Abend-Aid initialization task ABENDAID showed up on my radar
using user key common storage after our tools team upgraded to 10.1 last
year which was apparently issued by the vendor in April 2005. I had
failed to add this add this in the updates to the Fully Wired slides for
the User Key Common Storage discussion in Seattle. The product
previously did not use user key common storage but the HOTKEY Command
Enhancements in release 10.1 added code that did this. DOH! This was an
ugly wart on an otherwise nice upgrade to the product. I discussed the
use of user key common storage in Abend-AID with Compuware last year
following this upgrade and got only the offer a utility to free the
storage after it was allocated each IPL breaking the new function and
still not eliminating the initial allocation.
In the most recent discussion with Compuware we found this will be
resolved by a PTF to be issued against 10.1 in the next few months which
will move the key 8 storage to key 0 and preserve the new functionality.
If you are working on getting all products to remediate code that does
this and have Abend-Aid you should contact them to be an interested
party for the PTF expected this summer.
