After upgrading a ZMF 8.2 Patch 3 system to 8.2 Patch 4 using the documented conversion job (CMVCONVF) a large number of administration library type records are missing. For example, global admin shows 263 library types pre-upgrade but only 211 post-upgrade (option a.g.2). Similarly, my DEMO application shows 184 library types on 8.2 Patch 3 but only 138 on 8.2 Patch 4 (option a.a.2).
I'm seeing some strange behavior related to library type VLD. I noticed that it is not defined in either my Global or Application Library Types . What is the behavior of this libtype and why am I now having problems?
The Lib Type order entered in Global Admin and Local Admin is ignored during Checkout and Recompile. It seems that the order of Lib Types as entered in panels CMNGRST1 or CMNCLRST does not have any impact except in these panels themselves. I would have expected that the list of Lib Types displayed to users in panels such as CMNCLTSL and CMNSTG08 would reflect the order entered in CMNGRST1 or CMNCLRST.
If you define a new library type in both Global and Application Admin and then define the baseline library, when you come to stage a component from development for the new library type the library type is not in the same location on the Library Type Selection List panel CMNSTG08 as when you defined it in Appl and Global Admin (CMNCLLT0). This is confusing, so we need to default the sort to Lib on panel CMNSTG08.
Customers using the NCL library type to house subroutine-type components in CMN ZMF 6.1.0 must now ensure that these are defined as like-N libraries in the appropriate global , application and release administration panels or code CMNEX034 to define the NCL library type as like-NCL.
A package then scratches just the MPC component from baseline. With the Global Admin parm ‘Auto scratch load member with source’ selected, when a second package creates a scratch request for the source MPS component it also generates the scratch records for LST, MPS, and MPC. Because the MPC component was already scratched the CMN30 job fails with a RC=08.
When calling XML service LIBTYPE GBL LIST (copybook XMLCGLTP) from a COBOL program and passing ‘*’ to I- libType OF GLTP03-REQUEST (or removing this tag from the request) to list all the Global Admin library types , results in a Return Code = 16 and the message ‘SER6203E Internal buffers are full. Request terminated’.
