Local fix

  • No Local Fix.

Problem summary

  • Using the CICS Explorer 5.5 CPSM data connection, some
NullPointerException errors are encountered when scrolling down
the screen on the left hand side.  After a fetch, the cache is
not being updated when the stub value is updated with with a
CPSM data connection.  The ResourcesModel does not update the
active stub correctly.

Problem conclusion

  • The ResourcesModel now updates the active stub and prevents the
NullPointerException errors from occurring when scrolling down
the screen on the left hand side.
.
This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.0.18 of the CICS
Explorer.
