PK54362: UXPTERM, UXPLUNAM AND UXPTCTUA/UXPTCTUL NOT UPDATED BY DFHXSRC FOR A 3270 BRIDGE TERMINAL

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer is making use of RACF exit ICHRCX02 to determine if the
  transaction is a non-terminal task or not. All is well except
  when the transaction is a 3270 Bridge task. UXPTERM, UXPLUNAM
  and UXPTCTUA/UXPTCTUL are not filled in at the time DFHXSRC is
  making security calls to the security manager. Thus, the RACF
  exit ICHRCX02 is making a bad decision in this instance.
  .
  DFHXSRC, within routine xsrc_setup_instln_terminal_attributes,
  only makes an INQUIRE_TRANSACTION call to set these values when
  facility_type is equal to xmiq_terminal. This does not cater for
  a 3270 Bridge task.

  ****************************************************************
  The RACF exit ICHRCX02 is using UXPTERM to check the termid of
  the current task. This is part of the DFHXSUXP installation
  data passed to RACF by CICS if ESMEXITS=INSTLN is specified
  in the SIT.
  However, if the current task is a bridge transaction, DFHXSRC
  is not setting up the information required to provide values
  for UXPTERM, UXPLUNAM, UXPTCTUA and UXPTCTUL. These should
  point to the values of the termid, luname, tctua and tctual
  respectively, as taken from the bridge facility.

Problem conclusion

• DFHXSRC has been altered to extract the terminal information
  required for DFHXSUXP from the bridge facility for a bridge
  transaction.
