The subject DOC APAR closed today, 26 March.
I VIGOROUSLY RECOMMEND anybody who uses DFSMSdss full-volume or
track-range (aka "physical") DUMP / RESTORE for D/R, data movement, etc.
to READ AND UNDERSTAND this DOC APAR. You **ARE** at risk of losing
data or data integrity via DFSMSdss Full-volume or track-range (aka
"physical") DUMP / RESTORE if you have ANY OTHER PRODUCT that depends
upon the setting of the "change" bit in the Format-1 DSCB.
The DFSMSdss Level 2 rep also submitted Marketing Request #
MR0302074136, requesting that a "switch" (similar to the RESET keyword
on DUMP) be provided to allow the user to specify how DFSMSdss should
handle the "change" bit at RESTORE time. Those interested should add
their voices via appropriate channels.
SHARE members who have not done so, please vote on Requirement #
SSMVSS07002, which requests a design change to DFSMSdss' default
behavior on full-volume RESTORE.
