Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: 01.All clients that use * * program-to-program interception. * * 02.All clients that use * * program-to-program interception. * * 03.All clients. * * 04.All clients that record/replay IMS * * applications. * * 05.All clients that use * * program-to-program interception. * * 06.All clients. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01.Detecting length of subsystem call * * arguments is manual and labor * * intensive, and might depend on * * argument values or pointer values. * * 02.Subsystem call arguments are named * * with ordinal numbers. * * 03.Collection on a large number of CICS * * transactions at the same time * * generates very large recording data * * set. * * 04.The detection of DB vs GSAM PCB was * * imprecise. * * 05.Program-to-program interception * * configuration is manual and labor * * intensive. * * 06.The results from collection and * * replay are sometimes difficult to * * decipher. * **************************************************************** 01.Clients have to manually specify the length and location of each argument in subsystem calls. This release introduces a configuration property that offers flexibility in specifying the argument location and length. 02.The arguments in subsystem calls are currently named with a prefix and an ordinal number. This releases properly names arguments that come from common control blocks in CICS, Db2, IMS, MQ and file systems. 03.Clients that wish to collect a large number of CICS transaction in one recording were advised not to. This release introduces a new transaction (BZUX) which limits the number of instances of each transaction, allowing large number of CICS transactions to be recorded. 04.The parsing of PCB metadata would not always correctly identify DB vs GSAM data store access. This release corrects the issue allow correct return code handling on the IMS subsystem calls. 05.Clients have to manually specify all program-to-program interception in configuration files. This release automates the program-to-program interception for COBOL. 06.The output from collection and replay runs has two formats: SYSOUT report and binary recording data set. Clients have, in some instances, had a difficult time interpreting the results. This release adds an optional feature which presents the results in an easy to consume, web browser interface.
Problem conclusion
01.Automation added to assist the client. 02.Automation added to assist the client. 03.CICS recording scale for transactions increased. 04.Problem corrected. 05.Automation added to assist the client. 06.Automation added to assist the client.
