PH23733: UNEXPECTED TRANSACTION CPLT ABEND ASIB WHEN TRANSACTION IS ROLLED BACK

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• By default it is assigned transaction ID 'BBOC' but the
  customer is allowed to change this to any transaction ID that
  they prefer to use. Since the BBOACNTL program doesn't know
  what that transaction ID is, it saves the transaction ID that
  was used when the WOLA Task Related User Exit (TRUE) is
  started. The failure happens when the CICS transaction ID which
  was saved when the TRUE was activated is a CPLT transaction
  fails. Yet CPLT is an internal CICS program and so we cannot
  modify the respective transactionID

  ****************************************************************
  When the WOLA Task Related User Exit (TRUE) is enabled during
  CICS startup, the transaction ID is saved by bboacntl. Later on
  the saved transaction ID can be used for transaction recovery.
  When a transaction ID of CPLT is used during transaction
  recovery, the following message is issued:
  DFHAC2236 03/04/2020 09:47:37 AP06CC18 Transaction CPLT abend
  ASIB in program DFHSIPLT term ????. Updates to local
  recoverable resources will be backed out.
  

Problem conclusion

• The WAS z/OS Optimized Adapters CICS PLT Init program,
  bboacplt, was changed to specify CTID=BBOC when starting the
  task related user exit (TRUE).
  
  The Optimized Adapters CICS Control transaction program,
  bboacntl, will use the CICS transaction identifier specified on
  CTID= when specified. If CTID= is not specified and the CICS
  transaction identifier is CPLT, BBOC will be used as the CICS
  transaction identifier instead of CPLT.
  
  The following shows how to specify a CICS transaction
  identifier BBOC when starting the WOLA TRUE.
  BBOC START_TRUE CTID=BBOC
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  9.0.5.5 and fix pack 20.0.0.7 for WebSphere Application Server
  Liberty. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for
