Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Explorer users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CUSTOMIZED COLUMNS ARE NOT CONSISTENTLY * * MAINTAINED WHEN CHANGING CONNECTIONS. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When using various views to show resources, the behaviour of customize columns and reset columns varies in a non-obvious manner. The preferences are not always stored with the expected connection state and a user starting CICS Explorer may not find the columns they expect. Changing to a new connection or disconnecting may also provide unexpected columns. Reset columns behaviour also varied depending on previous changes to the connection or state.
Problem conclusion
The reset columns behaviour is now persistent. When connected it will reset columns to the ones at disconnected state. When disconnected it will reset columns to those preset in CICS Explorer. Column customization is now stored at the point of change to ensure it will restore as expected. This fix will be available in the next CICS Explorer 1.1 and 1.1.1 fix packs.
