Error description

  • CICS Configuration Manager plugin for the CICS Explorer sends
requests to the server to retrieve the last migration scheme
used, when right-clicking a change package in order to build
the popup menu. However, this occurs on the main thread, which
is a design flaw in CM that was undetected until now due to the
introduction of dynamic menus.
Due to an eclipse bug, when building the dynamic popup menu,
multiple refreshes occur and thus multiple IO requests are sent
on the main thread, causing the application to hang. See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=467000.

Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • The CICS Configuration Manager plug-in hangs when the user
right-mouse clicks on a package in CM Change Packages view. This
is due to IO being performed on the display thread.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The IO being performed was unecessary as the required data was
available locally. The IO request has been removed.
This fix will be made available in Version 5.3.0.1 of the CICS
Configuration Manager plug-in for CICS Explorer.
