APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• This APAR enables CICS Explorer V5.5 to exploit CICS TS v5.6.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• - On an empty resource table, the remove column is shown on the
  context menu.
  - Some target platforms are not yet included that would enable
  the user to support development against CICS TS 5.6.
  - In the Policy Editor, the percentages offered for Tranclass or
  user task rule are not asymmetric.
  - In the Policy Editor, if the undo feature is used, it prevents
  updates to MQConn.
  

Problem conclusion

• - When there is an empty resource table, the "Remove column" is
  no longer shown as an option on the context menu.
  - Target Platforms to support development against CICS TS 5.6
  (including JCICSX API) have been added.
  - Extra JVM server context menu options are now provided to
  support taking dumps, refreshing Liberty Applications and
  configuration, and showing endpoint information.
  - Right-click in CICSplex Explorer on System Groups node to
  create a new System Group.
  - In the Policy Editor, the percentages offered for Tranclass or
  user task rule have been fixed so that they are now asymmetric.
  - In the Policy Editor, using the undo feature no longer
  prevents updates to MQConn.
  .
  This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.0.9 of the CICS
  Explorer.
