Terry, The AUTOTUNE feature may expose the problem, but disabling AUTOTUNE will not eliminate the potential for the problem to occur. AUTOTUNE closes the BCS in the Catalog Address Space resulting in a "fresh" open using the updated ACB. But if anyone were to issue MODIFY CATALOG,CLOSE(bcs.name) or MODIFY CATALOG,UNALLOCATE(bcs.name), the problem will happen just as surely as if the AUTOTUNE feature had dynamically opened the BCS. Restarting the Catalog Address Space may also expose the problem.
The act of re-opening the BCS causes catalog management to retrieve information from the catalog's data and index component VVRs to populate the open control blocks in CAS...and that's when the effects of the problem are realized.
