Problem conclusion

  • Version 3.2.0.2 has been released for CICS Interdependency
    Analyzer plug-in for CICS Explorer. This is available via two
    options:
    
    1. Update from within the CICS Explorer using the IBM-hosted
    Update-Site.
    2. Download the update from Fix Central to be installed locally
    into the CICS Explorer.
    
    This update requires the CICS Explorer to be at least at
    1.1.0.0. Before installing this CICS Interdependency Analyzer
    plug-in update, the CICS Explorer should be updated to at least
    this level.
    
    Updating using the Update-Site
    To update the CICS Explorer 1.1 using the Update-Site follow the
    instructions below:
    * Start CICS Explorer.
    * Select Help -> Check for Updates from the main menu.
    * An update should be found for the CICS Interdependency
    Analyzer, verify that the update version is 3.2.0.2 or higher.
    * Click through the wizard to install the update.
    * Once the update has completed you'll be prompted to restart
    the CICS Explorer for the update to take effect. Click Yes.

    version has been updated:
      * Select Help -> About CICS Interdependency Analyzer from the
    main menu and note the version, it should be 3.2.0.2 or higher.
    
    
    
    Note: The version of the CICS Interdependency Analyzer plug-in
    may now be higher than 3.2.0.2 as the update updates to the
    latest version. All updates are cumulative so the latest version
    contains this update as well as any later updates.

    this update installed, and no further action is necessary.
