Error description
THIS APAR INCLUDES FIXES TO VARIOUS DEFECTS IDENTIFIED IN CICS EXPLORER V5.3.0.
Local fix
Problem summary
This APAR includes fixes to various defects identified in CICS Explorer v5.3.0.
Problem conclusion
- The CICS target platforms are updated to support exporting Java projects at Java 8 code level. - To simplify the Explorer experience, new workspaces no longer contain some older views in the operations menu (Corba Servers, JVM Class Caches, JVM Pools, JVM Profiles, JVM Status). Users who require these views can add them back using the Operations > Create New View menu. - CICS resource attributes containing Unix System Services paths now have hyperlinks which link to the file system target. - When defining a Message Insert filter, the box displaying the selected insert number was not wide enough. This has been corrected. - Using the filter entry field in a resource editor now shows all values within a category name, where the category name matches the filter. - In the resource table views, there are toolbar buttons to reset to view configuration and save settings to view configuration. These are now disabled if the current view settings are the same as the view configuration. - In the New Document Template wizard, corrected the validation for the name which had been bound to the wrong attribute. - The EP Adapter Set EPADAPTERSET attribute is now shown as "EP Adapter Set" in the editor, rather than "Name" - When switching from one CICS connection to another, the old context is now removed before making the initial request for data on the new connection. - Added validation for mandatory fields used by the New System Link wizard. - LSR Pool and LSR Pool Buffers views are added to the Operations menu, under the Files section. - View configurations can be imported from a Web server (HTTP or HTTPS). The CICS Transaction Server for z/OS 5.3 Knowledge Center topic 'Importing CICS resource table views' will be updated to explain a URL can be used where before it was only possible to use a filename for the import. - When a CMCI connection fails, the connection refused message is replaced with a not connected message. - In the View Configuration Preference Page, the delete keyboard key now deletes the highlighted view configurations. - After selecting and removing multiple columns using the Customize Columns dialog and pressing OK the code is corrected to remove all the selected columns. - Added new example projects (available from File -> New -> Examples -> CICS Examples -> Servlet and JSP -> CICS Link to Liberty) demonstrating how to annotate a Java method so it can be called from any CICS program. - Updated the HTASK DISPTIME attribute column header and editor category. - Default columns, attribute names, and attribute categories are updated for the Bundles, Bundle Parts, and Bundle Definitions views. These will take effect in new workspaces. - When installing a bundle definition, there is now a checkbox to verify that the resource enables successfully. Checking this will hold the install dialog open until the resource is enabled. - In resources table views, the delete keyboard key is now bound to the discard or delete actions, as appropriate, for operational resources and definitions. This fix will be made available in Version 5.3.0.9 of the CICS Explorer.
