If you specify the SETOPTION AUTOREPLY=ON command, then TPCF intercepts the wait-eligible device list and the offline device list. You then can tell TPCF how to respond to the z/OS IEF238D message that has been issued. By having TPCF respond to these messages, an operator may not have to respond to them whenever a job cannot select an online device. Specify the command SETOPTION AUTOREPLY=OFF to stop TPCF from intercepting the device lists and responding to allocation recovery messages.
The IEF238D message provides a list of ways to handle the current allocation recovery situation. Depending on the circumstances, z/OS may allow you to cancel the job, bring an offline device online, or make the job wait for a wait-eligible device to become available. If you can use an offline device, then z/OS also issues message IEF247I, which lists the offline devices that are suitable for the job.
We recommend that you specify the following values for IEF238D and IEF433D on the SETOPTION TPCF AUTOREPLY command:
AUTOREPLY=(IEF238D=CONDITIONAL, IEF433D=NOHOLD)
Important! If you reply WAIT to message IEF238D, then you must also reply HOLD or NOHOLD to message IEF433D. Therefore, the SETOPTION AUTOREPLY command must be set to MANUAL for both messages IEF238D and IEF433D, or for neither. They cannot be mixed. The one exception to this is that the value for the IEF238D parameter can be set to CANCEL, regardless of what the IEF433D parameter is set to. This requirement is also true for the TPCRECXT user exit routine.
