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

  • - When using the "Batched Repository Update Job Operation"
    dialog and there is an active z/OS Connection, the dialog does
    not present a list of members for the PDS being updated.
    - Disconnecting an SM connection during another SM operation can
    cause CICS Explorer to hang intermittently.
    - When there is an active z/OS connection and the Batchrep
    dialog is opened, if an existing PDS is entered that has no
    members an error message is shown incorrectly as "Could not find
    data set <name>"
    - CICS Transaction Server's Policy task rule Container Storage
    is not supported by CICS Explorer.
    - In Policy search, new Container Storage rules are grouped
    under "Unknown rule type" group.
    KEYWORDS: RFE 162997 PH29187
    

Problem conclusion

  • - Batchrep dialog has been updated so it uses a z/OS connection
    to validate input and suggest potential data set members to the
    user.
    - Disconnecting an SM connection during another SM operation
    should no longer cause intermittent CICS Explorer hangs.
    - When the batch rep dialog is open and an existing PDS is
    entered that has no members, the error message has now been
    corrected.
    - CICS Explorer changes have been made on policy editor to
    provide the Container Storage task rule.  This is in support of
    CICS Transaction Server's APAR PH29187 which provides support
    for a new policy task rule Container Storage to track the
    storage used by containers of a task and to take action when
    exceeding a defined threshold.
    - In Policy search, Container Storage rules are no longer
    erroneously grouped under "Unknown rule type" group.
    .
    This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.0.15 of the CICS
    Explorer.
    .
