Error description
When using the CICS CM explorer plugin to define a TCPIPSERVICE with Protocol(ECI), the attempt fails in CICS with the following message: . DFHCA5506 E 06/25/2019 06:06:48 CICS1234 ???????? CCVA COMMAND NOT EXECUTED. FOR PROTOCOL(ECI) MANY OPTIONS, INCLUDING URM, ARE MEANINGLESS. . It fails because the attributes passed to CICS for this TCPIPSERVICE definition specify Protocol(ECI) and a URM. It is not valid to have a URM on a Protocol(ECI) TCPIPSERVICE. . Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): KIXREVDWZ
Local fix
Problem summary
When using the CICS CM explorer plug-in to define a TCPIPSERVICE with Protocol(ECI) with the URM not set, it fails because the default value for URM in TCPIPSERVICE is "DFHWBAAX" rather than an empty string.
Problem conclusion
When using the CICS CM explorer plug-in to define a TCPIPSERVICE with Protocol(ECI) with the URM not set, it no longer fails. The default value for URM in TCPIPSERVICE is now an empty string. . The default value for URM when the selected protocol is IPIC has also been updated from "DFHWBAAX" to "DFHISAIP". . This fix will be made available in Version 5.4.0.8 of the CICS Configuration Manager plug-in for CICS Explorer. .
