**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All Fault Analyzer Version 10 users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01. Dump Storage display not formatted * * using 32 bytes per line when it * * should be. * * APAR PM77687 * * 02. CICS Transaction Dump statistics * * might be wrong if Fault Analyzer is * * active in the CICS region. * * APAR PM77688 * * 03. IDI0144E error IDISFPEX abend S0C4 * * in Fault analyzer IDIS subsystem. * * APAR PM77689 * * 04. User enters CFA transaction and * * then uses PF9 to view the IVP * * screen.

SCRT not finding Fault Analyzer * * SMF89 records. * * APAR PM77699 * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** 01. Despite the setting of an adequate preferred formatting width, and the use of a logical screen size which also permits storage formatting using 32 bytes per line, the Dump Storage display was formatted using only 16 bytes per line. 02. Even with the Fault Analyzer RetainCICSdump(ALL) option, the CEMT I TRD statistics might be affected by Fault Analyzer. 03. The IDIS subsystem might get IDI0144E from IDISFPEX abend S0C4 when the Fault Analyzer options have a long EXCLUDE option. 04. The CFA program IDIXFA is not initializing the IVP map as often as it should. 05. The long records were saved in XPL.DATA_BUFFER, which is only a 256 character field, causing overlays and corruption of data. Other symptoms than the S0C4 in PrtUDATA might be possible, depending on the record data and length. 06. Fault Analyzer is "stacking" TCTTEDA, and CICS is freemaining it while it is stacked. 07. In a UNIX DUBBED environment Fault Analyzer being called to handle an abend might cause LE envar_array pointed to from the EDB to be corrupted. 08. No fault entry created for LE U4038 abends that occur on an open TCB running in key 9. 09. The Fault Analyzer IDIS subsystem if continually restarted can cause depletion of the SYSTEM LX pool, requireing an IPL. 10. SVC dump taken from IEAVTABD when Fault Analyzer installed and a KEY 7 TCB abends. 11. A facility ID was only being determined when the facility type flag was 02. In this instance, the type flag was 01 but a facility ID was still available. 12. An invalid address was used to FREEMAIN a work area. 13. Fault Analyzer SMF89 records might have invalid product data, stopping them being recognized by SCRT.
Problem conclusion
01. The determination of sufficient width to allow for 32 bytes per line formatting has been corrected. 02. The Fault Analyzer CICS suppress dump return code processing has been updated. 03. Saving of the OPTION statement has been updated to accomodate any input length. 04. IDIXFA has been changed to initialize the map before sending it. 05. A separate dynamically allocated buffer is now being used, which is capable of handling record lengths up to 32K. 06. Fault Analyzer will no longer stack TCTTEDA. 07. The use of putenv() has been removed and replaced with an MVS name/token solution. 08. Code updated to handle the key 9 processing. 09. The LX for IDIS is now reconnected so that restarts do not cause additional system LX values to be used. 10. Processing for abends not in KEY 8 or 9 has been updated to generate IDI0123S Unsupported Environment message. 11. Code enhanced to specifically check for a valid facility ID, even if the facility type is 01. 12. The correct address is now being used to FREEMAIN the work area. 13. Blank-padding has been added to the identity strings.
