APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Importing a configuration backing store file from V1R11 to a
    higher level release resulted in missing sections like the
    prolog comments.  Other configuration sections may also be
    missing.  This is caused by a problem during java object
    deserialization of security policy objects.
    

Local fix

  • Use z/OS MF to add any missing sections after performing backing
    store migration to the higher release.

    ****************************************************************
    This apar contains cumulative maintenance fixes for the
    following z/MF Configuration Assistant (CA) defects:
    
    - Configuration Assistant becomes hung when trying to import
    an existing backing store into a newly created backing store.
    - Prolog history and comments are lost after opening a
    pre-V1R12 backing store file.
    - Clicking the Health Check button does not provide report if
    used in the AT-TLS perspective and a rule has multiple local
    ports, or multiple report ports configured, and the secondary
    map setting is set to on.
    - Users can incorrectly open R13 backing store files in the
    R12 Configuration Assistant.
    - IPSec policy files created by Configuration Assistant
    contained duplicate IpDynVpnActions and IpDataOffers.
    This has been changed to not produce the duplicates.

Problem conclusion

  • - Code has been added to correctly handle backing store import
    - Prolog history will not lost when opening a pre-V1R12
    backing store.
    - Health Check button will work correctly after setting
    multiple local ports in AT-TLS perspective rule.
    - User can not open R13 backing store files
    - Remove duplicate IpDynVpnActions and IpDataOffers after
    create IPSec policy files.
