    o Existing Event Filters for a closed target system are not
      removed when appropriate.
    
    o SA-BCPii HW validation performance should be improved.
    
    o Excessive time required to connect to processor using the
      SA-BCPii.
    
    o Helpful diagnostic service information added to 0B100119
      condition failure reports.
    
    o NetView termination may hang due to incorrect SA-BCPii
      routine ESTAEX.
    
    o Batch Command Interface fails for jobnames with less than
      8 characters. This can result in messages:
      INGPC010I INGICRPC is unable to perform function
                AOF_PPI_SEND, PPI_id=INGRCRCV
      INGPC011I INGPAUTH failed RC=185 Invalid handle
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

  • ISQSNMPC, ISQTCPI and ISQGCQRY were changed to correct the
    CNMEPING result checking.
    
    Each time clist INGRX809 is executing as part of the HW
    validation for processor LPARs, the image status EXCEPTIONS was
    handled as an extraordinary tentative condition, with GETIINFO
    calls in a loop. In the meantime, we are convinced this special
    handling is no longer required to satisfy the HW validation
    minimum requirements. Consequently, the code block is removed,
    which will slightly improve the overall INGRX809 performance.
    
    Clist INGRX830 was changed to no longer use the SHRWAIT option
    to obtain the required processing lock. Now, SHR without a wait
    is used and in case the lock cannot be obtained as requested,
    INGRX830 reschedules itself using a NV timer. This frees up the
    affected NetView task to accept other work, instead of waiting
    in INGRX830 until the lock (HWVALIDATION) is available for an
    undetermined period of time, blocking all other work.
    
    SINGMOD3 module HSAPHARI was extended to provide additional
    sense information in sub-function FIND_HSE.
    
    Module HSAPHSPT, subroutine CLEAN_UP was changed to not go
    in an ECB wait if the module's ESTAEX has control.
    
    INGPAUTH was changed to make sure that the Batch Command
    Interface does not fail for jobnames with less than
    8 characters.
    
    The comments above also include the code changes of SA z/OS
    APARs OA43108, OA42878 and OA43617.
