APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR includes fixes to various defects identified in CICS
  Explorer 5.5.0.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• - JCICS and JCICSX Javadoc is not at the latest relevant level.
  - Running CICS Explorer on RHEL 8.6 and connecting to a single
  backend CICS region, when a region is selected and right clicked
  to add a new security request recording the box that is
  displayed has sub tabs for the different origins.  All of the
  sub tabs incorrectly display as being empty except for the IPIC
  tab.
  .
  - CICS Explorer does not adhere to the same resource install
  ordering constraints as CPSM.
  - When adding an OSGi project to a CICS Bundle manifest, invalid
  OSGi projects are not ignored.
  .
  - Some ICU4J dependencies need updating.
  - Requests for a CMAS system dump without an ASID fail.
  - The File Path attribute in the Feature Toggles table does not
  have a hyperlink hint.
  - CICS Explorer does not install correctly on Eclipse 2022-06
  and future versions.
  - When a user does not have the IBM CICS SDK for Java EE,
  Jakarta EE and Liberty installed and tries to export a project
  that requires it, an appropriate error message is not displayed.
  

Problem conclusion

• - JCICS and JCICSX Javadoc is updated to the latest relevant
  level.
  - The Add Security Recording Request dialog is updated to show
  all tabs correctly on Linux.
  - The resource definition installation order is updated to
  better match the CPSM ordering constraints.
  - Explorer updated to ignore invalid OSGi projects in the
  workspace when adding an OSGi project to a CICS Bundle manifest.
  - Some ICU4J dependencies are updated to use java.text.
  - Requests for a CMAS system dump without an ASID are now
  honoured correctly.
  - The File Path attribute in the Feature Toggles table is
  updated to include hyperlink to the zFS location set.
  - CICS Explorer is updated to install correctly on Eclipse
  2022-06 (not currently a supported environment) and future
  versions.
  - Error messages are updated in the case that a user does not
  have the IBM CICS SDK for Java EE, Jakarta EE and Liberty
  installed and tries to export a project that requires it.
  .
  This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.24 of the CICS
  Explorer.
