Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IMS Connect Extensions V2.4 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: RACF Return Code is not being returned * * in the RSM field RSM_RACFRC * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** This APAR addresses the following issues: 1.No events x'3F' and x'40' when CEXAUTH0 doing ODBM security. 2.Loop following the refresh of a datastore group if it has no datastores defined to it. 3.CEX5189W message is issued for a correctly set up CEXAUTH0 if there is no EXITDEF statement for ODBMROUT which includes CEXROUT0 in the list of exits. 4.Users report confusion over the relationship between the "Name" and "Password" fields on the Password Prompt panel (CEXSQPWP). 5.The RACF return code is not being returned in the RSM field RSM_RACFRC which has been available since IMS V12. 6.The support provided to pass the ICON events to a second copy of HWSTECL requires that the second copy product behave in a manner consistent with the HWSTECL interface. There are some products using the interface that do not conform to the interface rules. 7.ODBM segment added to DSIB definition in IMS V13 service is missing from USERMACS definitions
Problem conclusion
The following changes have been made for the above issues: 1.Initialization code has been added to CEXAUTH0 to connect it to the event collector. 2.The datastore counter is now checked for a non-zero value at the top of the loop. 3.The parsing of the EXITMBR has been corrected to handle ODBMROUT and ODBMAUTH separately. 4.Improve usability of panel CEXSQPWP and its associated help panels. 5.Return RACF RC in field RSM_RACFRC. 6.Changed the HWSTECL second copy routines to recognize known products that do not adhere to the interface rules and not call them to share in the ICON events. 7.Added new segment to CEXCDSB USERMACS member.
