Problem summary
You have a CICSplex which contains an empty System Group (CSYSGRP). CICS Explorer is connected to this CICSplex using a CICS SM Data Connection. When the CICSplex Explorer view is used to view the CICSplex, CICS Explorer reports an internal error when expanding the empty System Group. An internal error occurred during: "Fetching children of <csysgrp-name>". java.lang.ArrayStoreException This was due to an internal NullPointerException.
Problem conclusion
CICS Explorer has been updated to avoid the NullPointerException. This fix will be made available in Version 5.3.0.8 of the CICS Explorer.
