    ****************************************************************
    01. The potential existed for two Fault Analyzer tasks to wait
        on the same ECB, and hence only one would be posted out of
        the wait.
    02. A check for XFACILIT ALTER access was incorrectly being
        made.
    03. Fault Analyzer was being invoked in a POSIX(ON) LE
        environment.
    04. Freed storage pointers not reset causing subsequent free
        to abend S0C4.
    05. In a Websphere Application Server Control Region running
        storage protect KEY 2, if IBM Fault Analyzer has not been
        excluded from the region and an abend occurs causing Fault
        Analyzer to be called, it will get S0C2 trying to set KEY 8
        execution mode from its IDIXCEE invocation exit.
    06. CICS default setting for SHUTDOWN status was being used.
    07. The 'back-end' sections of an EPLI compiler listing require
        right-shifting since the ASA character '1' is not present.
        The right-shifting is not performed when using an
        ISPF-packed compiler listing.
    08. Fault Analyzer is attempting to capture the 3270 terminal
        buffer, but the MRO connection is no longer active, so Fault
        Analyzer suffers a Terminal Control abend.
    09. The buffer was too small to handle large amounts of XML
        data.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01. The dual ECB usage has been modified.
    02. The check for XFACILIT ALTER access has been eliminated
        as part of the fault entry refresh processing.
    03. POSIX(OFF) has been added to the Fault Analyzer invocation.
    04. Freed storage pointers now reset.
    05. Code has been added to detect the call in KEY 2 and abort
        the analysis with message IDI0123S.
    06. SHUTDOWN(ENABLED) has been added to the CFA transaction
        definition.
    07. The right-shifting is now performed when using an
        ISPF-packed EPLI compiler listing.
    08. Fault Analyzer has been changed to suppress the 3270 buffer
        capture if the CICS connection has suffered an AD2W abend.
    09. Made buffer large enough to handle large XML data.
