Trace records generated by CPSM contain metadata which is interpreted by the trace utility EYU9XZUT and by module EYU0DVAF (DVAF - IPCS VERBEXIT Trace Formatter), to increase readability of the formatted trace records. For Version 5 Release 2 of CPSM the format of the metadata changed to support new function in that release. If a CMAS running V5.1 of CPSM connects to a CMAS running V5.2, the AUXTRACE datasets and internal trace buffers might contain trace records generated by CPSM V5.2 which cannot be formatted correctly by the V5.1 version of EYU9XZUT and by EYU9D510.
Problem conclusion
Modules EYU9XZUT and EYU0DVAF were modified to process trace records containing metadata generated by V5.2 of CPSM.
