Restrictions and considerations for running HD Pointer Checker when the IMS management of ACBs is enabled

The following restrictions apply when the IMS management of ACBs is enabled.

• HD Pointer Checker does not support IMS catalogs that are not registered to the DBRC RECON data sets when EXEC PGM=FABPPC00 is specified.
• When you run HD Pointer Checker in the ULU region, you must specify a DBD name on the PARM parameter of the EXEC statement. The DBD name can be of any DBD name that is specified on the DATABASE statements of the PROCCTL DD statement.
• If you use an alias name for the IMS catalog, you must specify EXEC PGM=DFSRRC00 and run HD Pointer Checker in the DBB region.
