PM80419: CPSM SYSLINK INSTALL WITH STATECHK = YES MAY REPORT INSTALL SUCCESSFUL WITH NOTHING BEING INSTALLED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You use the WUI or other API program (such as the CICS Explorer)
  to install a SYSLINK definition. On the install request, you use
  the STATE CHECK (STATECHK) set to YES option. CPSM finds no
  errors, but does not continue with the install of the resource
  (as it would with other types of resource installs.)
  .
  There are also instances where a STATECHK fails when it should
  not, or returns OK when it really should fail.

  *                 need to occur at the same time.              *
  ****************************************************************
  When the state check option is used for a dynamic SYSLINK
  install, method EYU0TALI (TALI) in the MP CMAS builds a list of
  all definitions to be installed, and passes this to the
  apropriate MASes, indicating that the definitions should only be
  state checked.  This drives method EYU0BNSC (BNSC) in the MASes,
  which checks if the definitions that are to be installed are
  already installed in the MAS.  If they are, and their state is
  not consistent with them being re-installed, then BNSC returns a
  state error to TALI, which reports the errors and terminates the
  install process.  If the definitions are not installed, or are
  in a state that allows them to be re-installed, then BNSC
  returns an OK status to TALI, which then should resend the
  definitions to the MASes with an indication that they should be
  installed.
  
  Part of the information passed to BNSC by TALI, along with logic
  errors in BNSC, can result in BNSC performing SYSLINK state
  check processing incorrectly.
  
  A logic error in TALI results it it not driving the install
  process if BNSC returns an OK response for a state check.
  

Problem conclusion

• BNSC has been updated to correct the logic errors that can cause
  it to perform SYSLINK state check processing incorrectly.
  
  TALI has been updated to pass the proper information to BNSC so
  that it can perform SYSLINK state check processing correctly.
  TALI has also been updated to properly drive the install process
  when BNSC returns an OK status for state check processing.
