OA45327: DYNAMIC MEMORY IS NOT FREED NOR PASSED BACK TO CALLER.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The GetAttributeValue function calls calloc to dynamically
  allocate some memory for storing a local copy of the element.
  Yet this memory is never freed nor passed back to the caller for
  freeing. This will eventually result in memory exhaustion and
  program failure.
  

Local fix

• N/A

  ****************************************************************
  1. Memory leak in Analyzer could cause system abends.
  2. Extraneous 'null=repository' confusing.
  3. Drilldown reports have incorrect validation checks which
  could also generate incorrect results.
  4. Some log messages in batch reports could lead to incorrect
  interpretation.
  5. Check box "linklist" was missing from some online reports.
  6. Product by Sysplex report displays incorrect list of systems
  for the selected Sysplex.
  7. Temporary data set name missing from HSISANLB will lead
  to JCL error when invoked.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. Fix possible memory leak in Analyzer code.
  2. Extraneous 'null=repository' no longer appears in online
  reports.
  3. Drilldown reports now have validation checks when run in
  batch.
  4. Log messages for batch reports made more meaningful.
  5. Check box "linklist" now included in some online reports.
  6. When selecting a product via the Product by Sysplex report,
  only systems for the selected Sysplex are displayed.
  7. Temporary data set name added to //WORK0 DDname in HSISANLB.
  8. IBM logo added to all online reports.
  9. 'V8.1' added in Analyzer log message as part of APAR name.
