Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All Common Data Provider for z Systems * * V1.1.0 users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. The Data Streamer does not support * * wildcards in the zLF Job Name * * parameter to mask started * * tasks/jobnames. * * * * 2. When TCP/IP is not available, * * excessive input/output exception * * messages are generated by the Data * * Streamer. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** 1. The Data Streamer rejected data from zLF streams defined with the Job Name parameter containing wildcards. 2. The Data Streamer did not handle socket exceptions caused by loss of TCP/IP correctly.
Problem conclusion
1. The Data Streamer now supports zLF streams defined with the Job Name parameter containing wildcards. 2. The Data Streamer now manages socket exceptions without generating excessive error messages. NOTE: Please review ++HOLDACT as follows: COMMENT (************************************************************** * FUNCTION AFFECTED: IBM Common Data Provider for z Systems * * - Common Data Handler * ************************************************************** * DESCRIPTION : Installation notes * ************************************************************** * TIMING : POST-APPLY * ************************************************************** * * * When using the CDP Configuration Tool to add any Data * * Streams from the Generic Feeds category, the following * * restrictions apply: * * * * 1. Data Source Name * * The length of the value must be less than or equal * * to 12 characters. * * If using the default value of JOB001-DDNAME, it must * * be changed to JOB001-DDNAM. * * * * 2. Job Name * * Wildcards are now supported and the length of the value * * must be less than or equal to 8 characters. * * * * After you have saved the policy with the above changes, * * you need to do the following: * * * * a. Copy the file with extension of .logf.properties to the * * zLF ENVDIR directory and rename it to config.properties * * * * b. Verify that the config.properties file contain the * * modified values for the Data Source Name and Job Name. * * * * c.
