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. .
