Adding a new "status code" on DPSB calls when Commit/Rollback has not been done prior in a ODBM configuration

In an IMS ODBM environment, application programs have to do commit or rollback before do deallocate psb to avoid the following U0210 IMS abend:

14.49.57 STC26933 DFS554A IMSPX1OD 00073 IMSPX1OD AQAHEA0K(7) 000,0210
222 2018/039 14:49:57 RTKN= ODBA04570002FDC600000000 IMSD

These abends could lead to the ODBM internal storage get exhausted and give S810 or S80A abends.

Besides ODBM applications include logic in the program flow to commit or rollback based on a "flag setting"
prior to DPSB call, IMS would need an enhancement to have a new "status code" on DPSB calls when Commit/Rollback has not been done prior, and like this avoid the U0210 abends and their effects.

    It is our mission, within IMS, to deliver high quality code to our clients. Our goal is that this enhancement continues to help drive success for your company!

    I am excited to share with you that we have successfully delivered an enhancement that can help with the requested RFE ID 116198.

    This enhancement has been delivered via IMS service process:
    - IMS 15 APAR [PTF] PH07679 [U62878].

    The enhancement issues an internal rollback instead of taking an U0210 abend when the client application has terminated due to timeout and abnormal termination. It also returns additional diagnostic information to ease identification for the root cause of the problem.

    For detail information, see the description in
    https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PH07679


    Please share your feedback with us as you implement this enhancement.

    Have a great day!

    Hi Juan ,

    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product. Software development has continuously evolved during IMS's lifetime, and so has IMS itself. We have kept pace with, adopted, and implemented many industry standard best practices within our organization, including Continuous Delivery, Design Thinking, and Agile.

    When choosing new features to add from the list of requirements in our backlog, we assess which will bring the most value to as many clients as possible and prioritize those.

    After reviewing this request for enhancement and assessing its potential value, our decision is to add this item to our backlog. Items in our backlog are expected to be delivered within the next 18 months. We reserve the right to re-prioritize our backlog items as new requests come in. This helps ensure that we are constantly focused on providing the best value to all of our clients.


    Have a great day!
