Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• Corrections for APARs reported against the previous release have
  been included in this maintenance:
  PK96162 - The CICS/CM inserted default value for strong CIPHERS
  in the TCPIPservice, CorbaServer, IPconnection and URImap
  resource definitions was incorrect and has been changed
  From: 0504352F0A0903060102
  To  : 050435363738392F303132330A1613100D0915120F0C03060201
  PK96162 - The edit of a CICSPlex SM Transaction reformats the
  DTIMOUT attribute into mmss (minutes and seconds) form. The
  insertion of leading zeroes by the panel results in an implied
  update when the user has not changed any attribute data. The
  correction ensures reformatting for DTIMOUT only occurs when its
  data contents change.
  PK98906 - A RENAME request may fail with RC=0014 if the request
  includes multiple definitions, some with CICS resource types
  limited to 4 byte names and others supporting 8 byte names.
  PK99055 - If the edit of a CSD List fails due to RDO exceptions
  for a Group entry:
  - the Group already exists within the List
  - the Group name exists as a List name
  ...Then the CSD List is partially saved with Group names
  following the offending entry omitted.
  PK92789 - If a FILE definition for a CSD includes an entry for
  NSRGROUP and LSRPOOLID is set to (1), CICS/CM changes the
  definition to LSRPOOLID(NONE). The problem is corrected as
  CICS/CM now accepts the combination of NSRGROUP and LSRPOOLID(1)
  for a CSD FILE definition.

  Enhancements to the product are:-
  *
  Online Interface
  *
  1.  Minor corrections or improvements to online services or help
      panels including:
  1.1 Improved SEARCH argument field validation checks
  1.2 Occasional storage overwrite in ISPF dialog corrected
  1.3 Corrections to CPSM Full-function BAS help panels
  1.4 Panel refinements to aid language translation
  1.5 CSD to CPSM Group compare misaligns definitions
  1.6 The dialog no longer requires APF access when processing via
  unauthenticated sockets.
  *
  2.  Enhamcements to online processing including:
  2.1 Pop-up windows for the selection of Connections to remote
      CICS systems sharing CSDs now display additional connection
      information. The information shows installed connections,
      the connection status and the NetName associated with the
      connection.
  2.2 An online CHECK facility for CSD Lists and Groups has been
      intorduced. Invoked for a single CSD List or Group via a new
      line action CHK (for CHECK) or for multiple CSD Lists and
      Groups intermixed via reporting menu option 9, CHECK will
      identify:
     - duplicate resource definitions within the set of CSD Lists
       and Groups
     - resource definitions failing referential integrity checks
       within a Group or across the set of Groups referenced by a
       List.
      The CICS/CM CHECK facility includes verification
      conditions not reported by CEDA CHECK.
  2.3 Change Package approval processing has been modified to
      prevent migration of a change package for which there
      is no approval.  Previously, if the approval profile
      did NOT have an entry for the selected Migration Scheme,
      the migrate was allowed to proceed as though the Change
      Package had been approved.  With this change, the
      migration is stopped and a failure message displayed as
      the change package is no longer considered to be approved.
  2.4 The administration of a Migration Scheme now presents a
      new processing option for the migration paths.  The
      DELETE AT SOURCE option specifies whether CICS resource
      definitions migrated from the source CICS Configuration
      should be deleted after migration or not.  The values
      are:
  
      NO   Do not delete the CICS resource definitions from
           the source Configuration after migration.
  
           When NO is specified, CICS resource definitions
           are effectively copied from the source to target
           Configurations.  NO is the default option value
           and is consistent with Migrate processing prior
           to this enhancement.
           The No option suits migration scenarios where
           you are promoting resource definitions from an
           actively used CSD file or CPSM context to
           another.  This is like copying definitions from
           development to test.
      YES  Delete the CICS resource definitions from the
           source Configuration after migration.
  
           When YES is specified, CICS resource definitions
           are effectively moved from the source to target
           Configurations.
           The YES option suits migration scenarios like
           these:
  
       o   A CSD is simply a work file used for the creation or
           editing of definitions - it is not used as the DFHCSD
           file for any active CICS systems.
           You wish the CSD to be emptied of completed work after
           the work is promoted to target CSDs or CPSM contexts.
       o   You are implementing a CICSPlex SM BAS alternative to
           using CSD files.  As a result you want to move the
           definitions out of the CSD and into CPSM BAS.
  2.5 Additional SHOW exception analysis options have been
      introduced when processing via the ISPF dialog reporting
      menu option 1 for multiple Configurations.
  *
  Batch Interface
  *
  1.  Minor correction or improvements to the batch utility
      including:
  1.1 The CCVBMAIN utility program's input card for a change
      package NEWCOPY now accepts and processes a PHASEIN option.
      The option may specify PHASEIN=YES or PHASEIN=NO, with
      PHASEIN=YES as the default. TheNEWCOPY control card appears
      as follows:
      NEWCOPY CPID=<cpid>,SCHEME=<scheme>,PHASEIN=YES|NO
  1.2 The CCVBMAIN utility incorrectly issued message CCV9060E
      "Filter values and CPID keywords mutually exclusive"
      when the FILTER and REGISTERCPID keywords were specified
  *
  Server and API Commands
  *
  1.  Minor corrections or improvements to CICS/CM Server
      functions including:
  1.1 For an IMPORT operation with the change package registration
      option selected, the return and reason codes saved in the
      package-scheme record did not always match the last update
      in the change-package record.
  1.2 BACKOUT message CCV5356E fails to display in CCVLOG.  This
      message identifies the first (or only) object that BACKOUT
      cannot process because to do so would overwrite changes
      made to the object since it was migrated.  The message
      call was incorrectly coded, causing a generic failure
      message to be displayed instead.  The failing object is
      now correctly reported in CCVLOG.
  1.3 Sites running with program autoinstall enabled may see
      spurious DFHPG0207 messages for CCVTDxxx programs.  The
      programs do not exist, nor are they required, but
      erroneous load requests may have occurred when searching
      history data.
  1.4 The DEPLOY command's CICS region runtime collector fails
      with ABEND AICA if the LIBRARY resource DFHRPL contains
      more than 16 data sets.
  1.5 The DEPLOY command's CICS region runtime collector fails
      with 'invalid value' if it encounters a recoverable
      TDQUEUE resource.
  1.6 Correction of a 4038 abend caused by the CICS CM tracing
      facility.
  2.   Minor enhancements to CICS CM Server functions including:
  2.1  Enhancements have been made to the server to allow the
       CICS Explorer plug-in use 'ORed' restriction criteria on
       LIST commands for RESGROUP and RESDESC objects in a CSD.
  2.2  Change package 'command-stack' processing has been
       augmented to allow the commands to be written to a CCM
       format Export File.  MIGRATE processing will export the
       commands to the Export file, and IMPORT will process the
       commands when the 'Register change packages on import'
       option (REGISTERCPID=YES) is selected.
  2.3  Change package processing has been enhanced to support
       the new DELETE AT SOURCE option on the Migration Scheme.
  *
  Miscellaneous
  *
  1.  Minor corrections or improvements to other CICS CM Server
      functions including:
  1.1 The installation SCCVSAMP member CCVXCSDD that defines the
      CICS CM resource definitions has been updated to include
      new definitions required for the enhancements herein, and
      the removal of obsolete definitions.
