Error description

  • When using the CICS Explorer "Regions" view, there is a column
showing the region's Startup Date.  But when trying to create a
quick filter for one of the values, this results in an empty
view and error message:
.
  CNX0226W A filter contained an invalid value.
.
Even using the WUI view this gives the same error as well.
.
As a side note, when looking at the general help for this
field, it states:
 "The date is expressed in local time."
.

Problem summary


    

  • When using the CICS Explorer Regions”view, there is a
column showing the region's Startup Date. When trying
to create a quick filter for one of the values, this
results in an empty view and the error message:
CNX0226W A filter contained an invalid value.
This is because the CMCI expects the date format to be
yyyy/DDD whereas the date inside CICS Explorer is
processed as yyyy-MM-dd.
This means that when a filter in yyyy-MM-dd format is
passed to CPSM, the user receives an error.”

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • CICS Explorer has been altered so that the CMCI will
now receive the Startup Date format as yyyy/DDD.  This
means that it is now possible to do a quick filter on
a region's Startup Date.
.
This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.0.5 of
the CICS Explorer.s
.
CICS Transaction Server for z/OS APAR PH19076 needs to
be applied in order for filtering when aggregated to
work.
