There is no support for Fast Path nor ODBA in this release. 02.For EXEC DLI calls, the DLIDIB control block was not being recorded properly, nor was it updated correctly during replay. 03.If a user program created (or had a memory corruption) improper SQL-PLIST memory chains, it was possible that an abend could occur. 04.SQL CAF calls are now recorded and played back. 05.A new transaction has been added to VTP that allows a user to start recording for any number of users for specified transactions. The recording is limited to 5 of the same transaction that does not have a COMMAREA and another 5 if it does. Many different transactions can be recorded within this limiation, allowing a user to record a wide cross-section of transactions, without the risk of recording too much data. 06.During replay, VTP can detect memory that has never been initialized. 07.The contents of the configuration file is now stored with the recording and will be automatically used during replay, provided a user did not specify an overriding replacement.
Problem conclusion
01.IMS/TM support for MQ added for recording IMS transactions. 02.EXEC DLI support for the DLIDIB control block is now handled correctly. 03.Support for checking and ensuring that SQL-PLIST memory chains has been added. If VTP detects in invalid SQL variable type or corresponding length, then it resets the length for the recording to 0 and stores the incorrect type or length in the SQLDA prefix area in the recording. 04.Support for the recording and playback of Db2 CAF programs is provided. 05.A user can record their cross-section of transactions without the possibility of overflowing the VSAM file data collection file. 06.To help a user identify programming mistakes, VTP is able to detect un-initialized memory and report on it. This requires an LE and VTP option to be set. 07.A user no longer has to keep the recording configuration data with their recorded file. It is not stored within the file, to keep this data together.
