PM50744: Rational Developer for z 8.0.2 : Messages written only to SYSLOG and not to JOBLOG

Rational Developer for System z 8.5
Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Some messages were written to SYSLOG only and not their joblogs,
  it is an issue for everyone managing the product.
  
  For example when the command ' F RDZRSED,APPL=CANCEL' is issued
  if there is a syntax error, a message was written on RDZRSED
  (started task) job log such as:
  
  10.12.43 STC20417  +FEK204E Invalid Cancel Command: Cancel
  ID=|User=
  10.13.08 STC20417  +FEK204E Invalid Cancel Command: Cancel
  ID=|User=
  
  When the command is valid and executed, no message is written to
  the joblog but rather in the syslog is:
  
  
  NC0000000 SYSI 11272 10:31:00.90 ITSXZ881 00000280 F
  RDZRSED,APPL=CANCEL USER=XXXXXXX
  NR0020000 SYSI 11272 10:31:00.91 SIS14205 00000080 +FEK208I
  4290816 : XXXXXXX canceled
  
  Since FEK* messages are owned by RDZ, should be in the started
  task job log also.

  Some messages were written to SYSLOG only and not the joblogs.
  For example when the command " F RSED,APPL=CANCEL" is issued
  and there is a syntax error, a message was written on RSED
  (started task) job log such as
  +FEK204E Invalid Cancel Command: Cancel ID=|User=
  When the command is valid and executed, no message is written to
  the joblog but in the syslog there is:
  +FEK208I 4290816 : XXXXXXX canceled
  Since FEK* messages are owned by RDz, they should be in the
  started task job log also.
  To process the cancel command, the Daemon process sends the
  command to the Server process, and the Server process will
  cancel the user. Then, the Server process issues the message of
  the user canceled. The message written by the Server process
  will not be written onto the joblog.
  

Problem conclusion

• Now, all of the messages related to the console commands will be
  written by the Daemon process. If the command is processed in
  the Server process, the Server process will notify the Daemon
  process of its completion. Then, the Daemon process will write
  the completion message out.
