Error description

  • With IBM Explorer for z/OS V3.0.1, the client may freeze (hang)
for long time when connecting to the host. The freeze or time of
 delay appears to be directly correlated to the number of MVS
File filters, the number of members within the PDS and also it
depends if the filters were expanded before shutting down the
workspace. The same freeze behavior was observed for MVS Filters
 and datasets under both the Remote System Explorer view and the
 z/OS Projects view.

Problem summary


    

  • The expansion of MVS datasets can take a very long under certain
 circumstances.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • While populating the UI model, the client fires refresh events
that can lead to a loop.
