    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01. Fault Analyzer RFR dump event list  *
    *                          might be missing events.            *
    *                          APAR PI05473                        *
    *                      02. New History File Allocation dialog  *
    *                          not shown when copying fault entry  *
    *                          to non-existing history file.       *
    *                          APAR PI05474                        *
    *                      03. A Fault Analyzer user is analyzing  *
    *                          a CICS SDUMP, and sees errors in    *
    *                          the DS Domain panels.               *
    *                          APAR PI05475                        *
    *                      04. User is analyzing a CICS TS 3.1     *
    *                          SDUMP and gets an 0C4 abend in      *
    *                          function pp_ke_stack.               *

    01. The DSA chaining back through linkage stack entries might
        fail when an invalid backchain address in encountered.
    02. A check for the existence of the target history file was
        missing.
    03. DS panels have incomplete information due to an arbitrary
        limit to the number of internal control blocks that can be
        created. Also, there is a problem in sorting some column
        contents.
    04. pp_ke_stack is processing a stack entry for CICS program
        DFHLEPTQ, which has an invalid (negative) iproc offset.
        This causes pp_ke_stack to abend.
    05. User has issued PURGE of CICS task. FA's IDIXCCEE issues
        EXEC CICS commands in CICSkey and enters WAIT_MVS.
        User issues KILL for task.
        CICS drives LE CEECGEX in USERkey with CICSkey DSA/RSA
        from IDIXCCEE.
    06. APAR PM97968 fixed the 100% CPU loop reported but the
        IDI0131W messages can still occur. This APAR addresses the
        IDI0131W ENQ message not clearing.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01. The code has been updated.
    02. A check has been added for the existence of the target
        history file.
    03. The number of internal control blocks which can be created
        has been increased. The panel column sort code has been
        fixed.
    04. pp_ke_stack has been modified to handle the bad offset.
    05. IDIXCCEE has been changed to percolate (defer) AEXY abends
        to FA CICS GLUEs, which do not issue EXEC CICS commands
        in a way that can cause the problem.
    06. Code added to correctly retest the ENQ status.
