Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of ADFz Common Components server   *
  *                 running CICS FM sessions with tracing        *
  *                 enabled.                                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The ADFz Common Components server       *
  *                      produces an error trace message,        *
  *                      '<userid> timed out while launching',   *
  *                      when starting an FM session from CICS   *
  *                      and tracing is enabled, even though no  *
  *                      error has actually occurred.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When spawning an FM session, the ADFz Common Component server
  checks to see if the spawned task generates a trace message that
  it started ok. If this message is not detected within 10 seconds
  the server assumes the spawned task failed, and if tracing is
  enabled, message '<userid> timed out while launching' is
  generated. In the case of FM sessions being started from CICS,
  the successfully started message is not generated and the server
  incorrectly generates the error trace message.
  

Problem conclusion

• The ADFz Common Components server now checks if the FM session
  was started from CICS, and if so and tracing is enabled, the
  error trace message is not generated.
