APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
A CICS bundle is created to capture events in CICS. Specifically the event is capturing INVOKE SERVICE calls. When the bundle is exported and then installed into CICS the bundle installs but remains in a disabled state becasue of the following error: DFHEC3108 dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss cccccccc Invalid keyword () specified in event capture specification xxxxxxxxxxx in event binding yyyyyyyy.
Local fix
Manually edit the evibind file to change the generated XML as follows: Change the following two lines <URI keyword="CHANNEL" filterOperator="OFF" filterValue=""/> <CHANNEL keyword="URI" filterOperator="OFF" filterValue=""/> to <URI keyword="URI" filterOperator="OFF" filterValue=""/> <CHANNEL keyword="CHANNEL" filterOperator="OFF" filterValue=""/>
Problem summary
A CICS bundle is created to capture events in CICS, specifically the event is capturing INVOKE SERVICE calls. When the bundle is exported and then installed into CICS, the bundle installs but remains in a disabled state. The generated XML in the .evbind file produced by CICS Explorer is incorrect: <URI keyword="CHANNEL" .../> <CHANNEL keyword="URI" .../> Note that the keywords for URI and CHANNEL are the wrong way around. They should say <URI keyword="URI" .../> <CHANNEL keyword="CHANNEL" .../>
Problem conclusion
The XML for the .evbind event binding file has been corrected so that the URI and CHANNEL elements and keywords are generated correctly. The exported bundle can now be enabled once it has been installed into CICS. This fix will be made available in Version 5.4.0.2 of the CICS Explorer.
