Error description

  • Defect 24188
The design for ESI over IPIC (LID 711) states that the
capability exchange response (IS 2) will have a bit
'is_eci' set if the CICS region is able to support ESI
requests from the partner.
.
This bit is currently not set on the capability exchange
response meaning the connection initiator does not know
whether IS9 requests sent to the region will be honoured
or cause a failure.
