FDBR should not abend as a result of temporary loss of the lock structure.

1. Prevent FDBR from abending due to loss of the lock structure.
or
2. Make it possible to restart FDBR.
or
3. Provide an ERE light for IMS which would do backout, release locks, resolve DB2 in-doubt threads and then end immediately (or controlled by a WTOR).
or
4. Provide a parameter at IMS start (also valid for ERE) that would allow IMS to start but prevent any MPPs or BMPs from starting under that IMS. This would allow the customer to do his own ‘ERE light' (although it would in fact be a full-blown IMS restart but would enable the customer to then stop that IMS again immediately before it accepted any new work).

    We reviewed this RFE and at this point in time we will not be able to address this request in the near future. For this reason, we are removing this RFE. If you would like to discuss this further please contact, Daphne Isom, email: dsteele4@us.ibm.com.
