    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When starting a CICS File Manager       *
    *                      session with START=BATCH and the TCPIP  *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    File Manager was parsing the provided hostname (by the File
    Manager CICS component)at the wrong point in execution,
    resulting in a failure to resolve the hostname and failing to
    connect to the File Manager CICS partner.
    

Problem conclusion

  • File Manager has been updated in order to correct the order of
    parsing the hostname before attempting to resolve and connect
    to the CICS partner.
