APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • IBM Explorer for z/OS - zExpl

When zOS system mappings are pushed down to clients the RDz
client must be restarted in order to utilized.

Once the zOS systems mappings are downloaded via the push to
client (PC) and the client has been restarted then the
mappings work from that point on.

Local fix

  • Restart client after mappings are pushed down from host to
client

Problem summary

  • When a user uses push-to-client to update file system mappings,
the mappings and the view are not updated until the product is
restarted.

Problem conclusion

  • The mapping properties are being stored in a variable so that
excessive reloads don't effect performance.  The code that
checks the variable was not accounting for the case where the
file system mappings may be updated via push-to-client.

This APAR will be available in IBM Explorer for z/OS 3.0.1.3
