IJ33706: CICS EXPLORER - NEW REGION/GROUP FILTERS NOT WORKING

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer noticed the filtering views in the "CICS Explorer"
  view.
  
  This works, for them in only one of their environments.
  It finds system groups OK but not regions.
  
  In the trace, we can see entries like:
  2021/06/25 10:23:55.868 BST [1] > com.ibm.cics.core.ui.views.Te
  xtContextDataLoader.loadRegionsAndGroups()[CICSplex@5fb4be78[PLE
  That shows we begin to load the regions and groups.
  
  
  The following trace entry represents us requesting the
  regions:
  2021/06/25 10:23:55.869 BST [38] -
  com.ibm.cics.sm.comm.sm.internal.SMCPSMConnection.get() [http:/
  /toto.com:1111/CICSSystemManagement/CICSManagedRegionStatus/PLE
  XNAME?CRITERIA=XXXCMAS%3D'YYYYCMAS';;]
  
  Looks like the logic is wrong when deciding which CMAS to use.
  

Local fix

• NA
  

Problem summary

• When requesting the list of CICSPLEX objects, a number of
  different CICSPLEX objects are returned for each CICSplex,
  associated with different CMASes.  Rather than the correct and
  corresponding CICSPLEX objects being returned, the last CICSPLEX
  object is returned instead.
  

Problem conclusion

• When requesting the list of CICSPLEX objects, the correct and
  corresponding CICSPLEX objects are now returned for their
  associated CMASes.
  .
  This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.0.18 of the CICS
  Explorer.
