    ****************************************************************
    01.Support for the new CICSPlex processing has been added to
       allow automatic recording on transactions routed to an
       alternate CICS in the CICSPlex.
    02.Support for the new BZUT transaction has been added to allow
       users to start recording specific transactions from a 3270
       interface.
    03.If during replay the first program was not the actual first
       program in batch, it was possible that the recorded record
       being returned was the wrong one. The program name checking
       logic was reinstated to ensure that the right record for the
       right program is returned.
    04.For COBOL, support for automatic recording and replay of
       sequential (QSAM) files has been added.
    05.For COBOL, support for automatic recording and replay of
       VSAM (KSDS, ESDS and RRDS) files has been added.
    06.For batch/Db2 program, earlier initialization and capture of
       program-program interceptions is now possible. Previously,
       only interceptions after the first Db2 call could be
       detected. Now dynamic calls to programs being invoked before
       the first Db2 call can be intercepted.
    07.Support for automatic recording and replay of batch MQ
       programs has been added. This interface can be used by
       standard batch or Db2 program.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01.CICSPlex support added for recorded transactions.
    02.Specific transactions can now be recorded using the 3270
       interface.
    03.The software will now match the program name for the record
       being returned, unless there are no possibilities.
    04.The software will now collect file I/O for QSAM for COBOL.
    05.The software will now collect file I/O for VSAM for COBOL.
    06.The software will now collect and replay dynamic programs
       that are called before the first Db2 call.
    07.The software will now collect MQ calls for batch programs.
