RDz server should prepare enough length of heap memory to direct select() api which file descriptor numbers should be checked by setting corresponding memory bits on. The heap memory length depends on the maximum value of the file descriptor numbers to be checked. When the maximum file descriptor number is 2048, RDz server does not allocate enough heap area and writing the bit for the file descriptor number 2048 causes the memory corruption. When the maximum number is less than or greater than 2048, the problem does not occur. RDz server code is updated to allocate enough memory even when the maximum number is 2048. 02.When a file with more than 16kB is being uploaded and it ends with an abend by some reason, server does not send the abend code information in the error response message to client. Client shows the incorrect message , "Operation failed: file input output error" even if it has a different special message for the abend code D37-4 and E37-4. 03.When using CA Endevor SCM R17/R18, an 0C4 abend may happen during internal special list processing. 04.The internal command to process the Add Element from the RSE view was not being recognized. 05.In some cases, the OUTPUT elements were not being selected from the component list response. 06.RDz server should support FIPS 140-2 mode in encrypted connections 07.RDz client has a message class field in the JES jobs Table view, but it is not populated since the host does not provide the data. 08.Enhancement to issue console message FEJ211I when server startup completed. 09.Enhancement to avoid a false FEJ275E error message on shutdown 10.Server code is updated to send ABEND information to the client while opening a member. 11.JMON is intermittently unable to detect a job, causing problems in other parts of RDz 12.Rational Developer for System z gives false error messages during client disconnect v1DropSession: CEEHDLR (registration) failed for SYSABEND 0x202 abend handler with message number 256 swriteln: write failed rc(-1), fd(1), errno(140) svrmsg error 140 13.8 byte userid is not blocked on the systems where it is not allowed. 14.The Last modified-by field truncates the last byte of an 8 byte userid
Problem conclusion
01.RDz server code is updated to allocate enough memory even when the maximum value of the file descriptors is 2048. 02.RDz server code has been updated to send the abend code information to client. 03.RAM load modules compiled with Endevor R14-R16 libraries have API issues when working with Endevor R17/R18. The RDz Endevor RAM needs to be changed to address the compatibility issue with the CA Endevor R17/18. 04.The RDz Endevor RAM needs to be changed to recognize the Add Element from RSE view request. 05.The RDz Endevor RAM needs to be changed to select the OUTPUT components in those cases. 06.RDz server is updated to support FIPS 140-2 mode 07.Updated code to get SYSOUT info in SSI80 call. 08.Enhancement to issue console message FEJ211I when server startup completed. 09.Enhancement to avoid a false FEJ275E error message on shutdown 10.Server code is updated to send ABEND information to the client while opening a member. 11.JMON is updated to not use a terse sysout SSI80 call to get to message class, but use standard verbose SSI80 call. 12.code updated to avoid messages 13.The host module has been updated to prevent users from using an 8 byte userid to log in to a TSO system that doesn't support 8 byte userid. 14.The host module has been updated to display the ISPF statistics area correctly.
