IJ29949: MISCELLANEOUS ROLL UP FOR CICS EXPLORER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR includes fixes to various defects identified in CICS
  Explorer V5.5.0.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• - The CICS Explorer update site text does not give clear details
  as to what the different features are or how to choose the ones
  that are needed.
  - When selecting a region, the status bar is not updated with
  the region description.
  - The JVM profile samples show that JNDI_REGISTRATION={YES|NO}
  which is different to the documentation
  - If a CICS resource has '&' in its name then the '&' will be
  repeated in the editor tab title, tooltip for example.
  - If a JVMPROFILE is set, when you do a 'New From' on a Program
  Definition you cannot complete the wizard.
  - The CICSplex Explorer is not optimised for large installations
  .
  - System Groups in a Platform are not currently read only on the
  Attributes tab  (they are on the Overview tab) so when, for
  example, you try and set a Description and save it, a
  NullPointerException will be returned.
  

Problem conclusion

• - The CICS Explorer update site text is now more descriptive.
  - When a region is selected, the status bar is now updated with
  the region description.
  - JVM profile samples have been updated to reflect what is shown
  in the documentation.
  - CICS resources with '&' in the name no longer display the '&'
  repeated.
  - Using 'New From' on a Program Definition with a JVMPROFILE set
  will now complete correctly.
  - The CICSplex Explorer has been updated to work more
  efficiently in large installations.
  - The System Groups editor has been updated so that System
  Groups in a Platform are read only.
  .
  This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.0.14 of the CICS
  Explorer.
