Problem summary

• IA plug-in command flow view assumed that if a transfer of
  control (i.e. link command) occurred, the next commands in the
  sequence should belong to the program, to which control was
  transferred. This is true for a single-region command flow,
  where both programs belong to one task and hence are displayed
  in the command flow view altogether.
  When this happens across regions, the second program belongs to
  another task, which doesn't get included in the list of commands
  shown. After the link to program B, the original list of
  commands continues with the commands from program A. The CICS IA
  plug-in displays these commands as being issued from program B
  instead.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Command Flow view in the CICS Interdependency Analyzer
  plug-in (CommandFlowView) was improved. After a transfer of
  control from program A to program B occurs, where program B is
  executed in a remote CICS system, future commands from program A
  will be shown as originating in program A and not program B.
  .
  The commands issued from program B, where program B is in a
  remote CICS system, will not be displayed in teh Command Flow
  view.
  This fix will be made available in Version 5.1.1.4
  of the CICS Interdependency Analyzer plug-in for CICS Explorer.
