IZ65446: Deleting a CICS TS Queue in CICS Explorer deletes all TS Queues

1.0.0.9-OS-CICSEX-WinLin-IV67030

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are using the CICS Explorer connected to a CICS TS v4.1
  system. You are browsing the TS Queues active in a region and
  you delete one. After selecting and deleting it, the selected TS
  Queue disappears from view in the CICS Explorer. However if you
  refresh the view, all TS Queues will disappear because instead
  of deleting just the TS Queue selected, all TS Queues in that
  scope have been deleted. A check of that region via CEMT or
  CICSPlex SM's WUI interface will confirm this.
  

Local fix

• Until this APAR has been applied, do not delete any TS Queues
  using the CICS Explorer.

  TS Queues were being browsed in the CICS Explorer by opening the
  "TS Queues" view (accessible from the menu: Operations > Queues
  > TS Queues).
  
  A single TS Queue was deleted by right-clicking on one of them
  and selecting "Delete" from the context menu. The TS Queue
  disappears from the the view as it has been deleted succesfully.
  However, refreshing the view shows that all other TS Queues in
  the current scope have also been deleted unexpectedly.
  
  To delete the TS Queue the delete TS Queue command constructed
  failed to include the filter attributes correctly. This meant
  when it was sent to CICS through the CICS Management Interface
  (CMCI) all TS Queues were deleted in the current scope (region
  or plex).
  

Problem conclusion

• The filter attributes on the delete TS Queue command have been
  set to only delete the selected TS Queue and not all the other
  TS Queues in scope.
  
  This APAR has been released via version 1.0.0.3 of CICS
  Explorer, and is available via the update-site and Fix Central.
