APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
1. At IMS V15 use of TCPIP PORTID=LOCAL is no longer supported by IMS Connect but specification of a LOCAL port is still tolerated. However, specification of a LOCAL port at IMS V15 will cause IMS Connect Extensions Publisher API initialization to enter a CPU-intensive loop and the subsequent IMS Connect server shut down will hang. The Publisher API has been modified to circumvent this issue. 2. Added defensive code to handle unexpected Journal event content.
Local fix
Remove the LOCAL PORTID from their ICON configuration and restart ICON.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IMS Connections Extensions V2.4 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Issues with use of a LOCAL port * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** 1. At IMS V15 use of TCPIP PORTID=LOCAL is no longer supported by IMS Connect but specification of a LOCAL port is still tolerated. However, specification of a LOCAL port at IMS V15 will cause IMS Connect Extensions Publisher API initialization to enter a CPU-intensive loop and the subsequent IMS Connect server shut down will hang. 2. At IMS V14 and earlier, use of TCPIP PORTID=LOCAL can result in an abend S0C4 in module CEXCONSS.
Problem conclusion
1. The Publisher API has been modified to circumvent the issues related to the specification of a LOCAL port at IMS V15 or above. 2. Corrected logic error in CEXCONSS to prevent the possibility of the loop which resulted in an abend S0C4.
