Batch VSAM ECCR Restrictions

Batch VSAM ECCR Restrictions

Batch VSAM ECCR processing is subject to the following restrictions:
  • The batch VSAM ECCR does not capture change data for the following items:
    • Environments with multiple task control blocks (TCBs)
    • Natively updated alternate indexes
    • Records that are larger than 32,660 bytes
    • Spanned ESDSs
    • Paths defined over ESDSs
    • Control interval (CI) mode updates
    • VSAM data sets that are opened with record-level sharing (RLS) protocols
    • Applications that use request parameter lists (RPLs) that are coded with OPTCD=ASY for asynchronous processing for VSAM files
      If you use these applications, unpredictable results can occur.
  • The batch VSAM ECCR uses an internal exclude table to exclude VSAM data sets that have certain names or prefixes from change data capture. The exclude table contains the following types of entries:
    • Complete load module names
    • Prefixes for load module names
    • Prefixes for data set names
    Based on the exclude table, the batch VSAM ECCR does not capture change data for the following VSAM data sets:
    • Data sets that begin with any data set prefix in the internal exclude table.
    • Data sets that are opened by load modules that match the specific load module names or prefixes in the internal exclude table.
      The following table lists the load module names and prefixes in the internal exclude table:
