  *                      CICSplex whose maintenance point (MP)   *
  *                      CMAS is a CTS 5.3 CMAS:                 *

  *                         the lower release CMAS may result in *
  *                         unrecognizable data for the TCPDEF   *
  *                         SSL attribute or the TCPIPS SSLTYPE  *

  *                         connected to the lower release CMAS, *
  *                         may fail with no indication as to    *
  *                         why it failed.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
  *                 APAR, all CMASes and MASes must be           *
  *                 restarted.  Note that the restarts do not    *
  *                 need to occur at the same time.              *
  ****************************************************************
  CTS 5.3 added suport for ATTLSAWARE as a valid option for the
  SSL type for a TCPIPSERVICE.  For CPSM, this included adding a
  new CPSM EYUDA value for ATTLSAWARE (567) for the TCPDEF
  resource table SSL attribute, and supporting the new CICS CVDA
  value of ATTLSAWARE (1205) for the TCPIPS resource table SSLTYPE
  attribute.
  
  Previous releases of CPSM have no knowledge of the new EYUDA
  and CVDA.  As a result, if a lower release CMAS is part of a
  CICSplex whose MP CMAS is running CTS 5.3:
  
  -  when a get request is issued through a WUI or Explorer
     connected to the lower release CMAS, for a TCPDEF resource
     table whose SSL attribute is ATTLSAWARE or for a TCPIPS
     resource table whose SSLTYPE attribute is ATTLSAWARE, the
     value will not be displayed correctly.
  
  -  when a get request is issued through an API program connected
     to the lower release CMAS, for a TCPDEF resource table whose
     SSL attribute is ATTLSAWARE or for a TCPIPS resource table
     whose SSLTYPE attribute is ATTLSAWARE, the correct EYUDA
     (TCPDEF) or CVDA (TCPIPS) value will be returned, but it will
     not be recognized by the program.  For example, if the
     program issues the EXEC CPSM TRANSLATE command for the
     attribute, the value will not be translatable.
  
  -  when an install request is issued for a TCPDEF whose SSL
     attribute value is ATTLSAWARE, into a MAS running a CICS
     release prior to CTS 5.3, the install will fail as ATTLSAWARE
     is not supported at the lower release.  However:
  
     -  if the MAS is connected to a CTS 5.3 CMAS, then the error
        returned will indicate that the SSL value is invalid.
  
     -  if the MAS is connected to a pre-CTS 5.3 CMAS, then the
        error returned will not indicate that the SSL value is
        invalid.
  

Problem conclusion

• Modules EYUTMOSD and EYUTBNRC have been updated to include the
  ATTLSAWARE EYUDA and CVDA values.
