Error description
When using a CICS 5.5 Explorer connected to a CICS TS 5.6 WUI and displaying a resource group that contained a resource type of DUMPCODE, the Explorer display does not include groups containing DUMPCODE. Changes are also needed to CPSM CSDINLST table, so that CICS Explorer can better display the DFHCSD Dumpcode definitions.

Problem summary
When using a CICS 5.5 Explorer connected to a CICS TS 5.6 WUI and displaying a resource group that contained a resource type of DUMPCODE, the Explorer display does not include groups containing DUMPCODE. The DUMPCODES are listed under an element called "_UNEXPECTED". . The CICSPlex SM table CSDINGRP does not include the DUMPCODE resource type. This means that CICS Explorer cannot be used to display the DUMPCODE resources. . The CICSPlex SM support for this change has been provided by CICSPlex SM 5.6 apar: PH39651.
Problem conclusion
The CICSPlex SM tableCSDINGRP now includes the DUMPCODE resource type. The CICS Explorer codegen has been updated to include DUMPCODE correctly as an enum within CSDINGRP. . In order to resolve the issue, the CICSPlex SM 5.6 APAR: PH39651 must also be applied. After applying the PTF for APAR PH39651, all CICSplex SM CMAS and MAS regions, including WUI server regions, should be restarted to activate the change. The restarts do not need to occur at the same time. . This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.19 of the CICS Explorer. .
