Error description

• The following problems are addressed:
  1. Write event record to journal when a command has been issued
     to drain or resume a datastore, or a datastore has been
     "autoresumed".
  2. Provide a way to report the number of outstanding responses
     for a datastore.
  3. Type 1 commands issued via IMS Connect Extensions being
     routed to wrong IMS Connect.
  4. Incorrect data transmitted to Operations Console GUI client
     for some ODBM sessions.
  5. Reduce the time that the Publisher API Buffer Lock is held
     by CEX.
  6. The PROC= field for the type41 event record from the Print
     Utility can contain blanks. New flag bits have been added to
     OMCTLPFG that are not supported by the print utility.

  This APAR is correcting the following:
  1.Reduce the time that the Publisher API Buffer Lock is held by
  CEX.
  2.The PROC= field for the type 41 event record from the Print
  Utility can contain blanks. New flag bits have been added to
  OMCTLPFG that are not supported by the print utility.
  3.Provide toleration for IMS Connect APAR PM69983 which adds
  tracking token address and length to events 61 x'3D' and 62
  x'3E'
  

Problem conclusion

• The following changes have been made for the above issues:
  1.Added additional latch to allow the CEX API server to reduce
  the amount of time it holds the Asynchronous buffer latch while
  moving event records to the buffer.
  2.To be consistent with the rest of the report the PROC= is
  changed to contain a value of NONE when OMCTLPFG does not have
  flag bits set on. Support for new flag bit setting is also added
  3.Changed the event record macros for events 61 and 62 to
  support the new fields and included support for the new
  fields in the print utility.
