Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

  ) on the RO TCB. This should not be happening. This APAR is
  being opened to correct that situation.

  *                      drive a request to the CFDT server on   *

  ****************************************************************
  When CICS is processing an error during a logger request it
  can require that DFHRSDU is driven to start the dump request.
  This can be done while on the RO TCB. If the CICS region is
  part of a CMAS, then the dump request will want to update
  the CFDT file DFHRSTAT. This request will be made to FCFR who
  will call DFHFCDR. When FCDR calls the CFDT server the request
  will complete with a disaster response and the file will not
  be updated. CICS will continue to process the dump request. The
  disaster response is due to FCDR being driven while on the RO
  TCB as it is being mistakenly treated as an open TCB for CFDT
  threadsafety processing.

Problem conclusion

• DFHFCFR has been updated to ensure that if a file control
  request against a CFDT file is made when on the RO TCB that
  a switch to the QR TCB is made before connecting to DFHFCDR and
  the CFDT server.
