PM33182: TPC-R USES OLD CREDENTIALS TO RECONNECT A HA CONNECTION.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• TPC-R uses old credentials to reconnect a HA connection.
  
  When the user establishes HA, TPC-R will create an object that
  uses the credentials of the userid that is logged on.
  TPC-R never terminates this thread. When the customer came back
  to reconnect the connection, the old object was still running
  with the old credentials.
  At the same time, a new object was created with the new
  credentials of the id logged on, but was not used.

Local fix

• The work around is to restart TPC-R and establish the HA
  connection with the generic ID.
  

Problem summary

• When a user established a High Availability connection, TPC-R
  will create an object that uses the credentials of the user ID
  that is logged on. TPC-R never terminates the thread this object
  is on. When a user comes back later to reconnect the
  High Availability connection, the old object with the old
  credentials is used.
  

Problem conclusion

• TPC-R will now shutdown the object so that when a reconnect is
  issued, the credentials of the current user is being used.
  

Temporary fix

• Restart the TPC-R server and establish the High Availability
  connection with the desired credentials.
