Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlex SM Users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The ENCRYPTION parameter does not * * display in the list of SIT parameters * * from V5.4 up to V5.6. Although * * deprecated it can be set and impacts * * the MINTLSLEVEL parameter. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF. This can be done to CMASes * * and MASes in any order. * **************************************************************** At CICS TS V5.4 it was decided to deprecate the ENCRYPTION CICS system initialization parameter. It was removed from the list of visible parameters in the WUI and Explorer (CPSM SYSPARM resource table). Although deprecated, it can be set and impacts the MINTLSLEVEL CICS system initialization parameter. It will now be displayed on WUI and CICS explorer System parameters (SYSPARM) displays.
Problem conclusion
Macro EYUQ0179 macro has been updated to display the ENCRYPTION parameter, if set, for CICS Transaction Server releases V5.4 through V5.6 and the relevant EYUTNAGx tables regenerated. The CICS ENCRYPTION system initialization parameter is not valid from CICS TS V6.1 onward.
