Error description

  • IBM Explorer for z/os does not handle mixed case user IDs in
    host connections.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • All users IDs entered into the Explorer Connections dialog are
    converted into upper case before being transmitted to the remote
    host.  User IDs which contain mixed case characters are
    therefore not supported.
    

Problem conclusion

  • IBM Explorer for z/OS now supports mixed case user IDs for those
    systems that support them.  When you create new user
    credentials, z/OS Explorer no longer converts the user ID into
    upper case.  Case conversion is managed by the host system.
    Existing connections will continue to work with mixed case user
    IDs.
    This fix will be made available in Version 2.1.0.2 of the IBM
    Explorer for z/OS, which will be included in Version 5.1.1.2 of
    the CICS Explorer.
