IJ29442: MISCELLANEOUS ROLL UP FOR CICS EXPLORER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR includes fixes to various defects identified in CICS
  Explorer V5.5.0.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• - Workload management decorators within the CICSplex Explorer
  are not able to be removed by the toggle decorators button.
  - In newer versions of Eclipse, once connection has been made,
  the table views sometimes incorrectly display no rows or columns
  and the properties view displays the message "The active part
  has no properties"
  - The 'Managing TLS/SSL connections in CICS Explorer' topic in
  the CICS Explorer Knowledge Center is out of date.
  - APAR IJ15874 added the ability to copy the tailored views in
  CICS Explorer when copying the current workspace to a new one.
  The option that was added to copy the view gives an error if
  help is selected.
  - The size of the Help plug-in is larger than desired.
  - The Batchrep dialog sometimes displays an error rather than
  more appropriate information message.
  - The pending/waiting icon needs to be updated to match current
  styles.
  

Problem conclusion

• - Workload management decorators within the CICSplex Explorer
  are now controlled by the toggle decorators button.
  - In newer versions of Eclipse, once connection has been made,
  the table views no longer display no rows or columns.  The
  properties view no longer displays the message "The active part
  has no properties"
  - The 'Managing TLS/SSL connections in CICS Explorer' topic in
  the CICS Explorer Knowledge Center has been updated to clarify
  the steps needed to set up a new credential.
  - Selecting context help now works when copying the current
  workspace to a new one and copying the tailored views in CICS
  Explorer.
  - The size of the Help plug-in has been reduced by optimizing
  images.
  - Batchrep dialog usability has been improved by separating
  errors and information messages.
  - The pending/waiting icon has been updated to match current
  style.
  .
  This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.0.13 of the CICS
  Explorer.
