PI85913: Updates to IMS service provider SARs are not processed.

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

• When an IMS service provider SAR file is replaced in the
  services directory with a SAR file of the same name and the
  updateTrigger and pollingRate attributes of the
  zosconnect_services element are set, the updated SAR should be
  installed when the polling occurs.
  The following message is issued but the installed service is
  not updated:
  msgBAQR7044I: z/OS Connect EE service archive <name> updated
                successfully
  
  Additional search words: msgBAQR7044 BAQR7044I BAQR7044
  

Local fix

• Delete the existing service archive file before trying to deploy
  the updated SAR.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the z/OS Connect EE IMS         *
  *                 service provider.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When an IMS service definition is       *
  *                      updated and the service archive (.sar)  *
  *                      file is redeployed, the changes are     *
  *                      not implemented.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  When an updated version of an existing SAR file was loaded
  into the z/OS Connect EE services directory, a change to the
  SAR file was detected. This caused the BAQR7044I service
  archive updated message to be written, but the IMS service in
  the z/OS Connect EE server was not updated with all the new
  definitions. All the changes were not picked up until the
  service archive file was deleted and redeployed, or the z/OS
  Connect EE server was restarted.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• An updated IMS service can now be redeployed while the z/OS
  Connect EE server is running without having to delete the
  existing service archive file first.
  
  The fix for this APAR will be shipped in the PTF for APAR
  PI85054.
