Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM Communications Server   *
    *                 for z/OS Version 1 Release 13 IP             *
    *                 Policy Agent (PAGENT)                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Pagent messages contain incorrect       *
    *                      text inserts.  Possible abend0C4 may    *
    *                      also occur constructing messages.       *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Policy Agent messages contain incorrect text inserts.  Possible
    abend0C4 may also occur constructing messages that contain
    insert text.
    
    The message text inserts are referenced via an index into the
    message catalog.  The message catalog structure causes any new
    message to alter the index value of the text insert elements.
    All modules referencing the text inserts must be recompiled to
    alter the index value.
    The following items may appear incorrectly in messages with
    text inserts.
      I0001   "IDS"
      I0002   "IPSEC"
      I0003   "QOS"
      I0004   "TTLS"
      I0005   "LDAP"
      I0006   "NONE"
      I0007   "ROUTING"
      I0008   "BACKUP"
      I0009   "PRIMARY"
      I0010   "STARTED"
      I0011   "STOPPED"
      I0012   "APPLICATIONS"
    
    The message construction facility uses a predefined storage area
    to manage the text insert values from the message catalog.  The
    defined length does not reflect the size of the largest text
    insert, I0012 "APPLICATIONS".  The insertion of APPLICATIONS
    in a message may cause an Abend0C4 or unpredictable results.

Problem conclusion

  • The Policy Agent message catalog has been amended to separate
    the text insert items from the actual messages.  The predefined
    storage area for handling the text insert items has been
    increased in length to accommodate the largest defined text
    insert.
