     specifications.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

•  This APAR contains two compatibilty fixes for
  the CICS Explorer:
  .
  1) This APAR includes a change to the CICS Explorer
  corresponding to CICS APAR PM78624:
     It is not possible to define a capture specification for EXEC
  CICS LINK commands originating from the CICS mirror transations
  DFHMIRS or DFHMIRR.
  .
  2) This APAR also describes a further compatibility problem with
  the CICS event binding editor:
     When exporting an event specification for an event binding
  that uses an adapter set, the file name includes either _WBE,
  _CBE, or _CBER as part of the file name. However when exporting
  an event specification for even binding that uses an adapter,
  the file name doesn't include this part. This creates a
  discrepancy between the file names.
  

Problem conclusion

• The CICS event binding editor is changed to allow capture
  specifications to be defined for EXEC CICS LINK commands
  orginating from the CICS mirror transations.
  .
  The CICS event binding editor is also changed to ensure that the
  _WBE, _CBE, or _CBER portion of the filename is always included
  when exporting an event specification.
  .
  The CICS Event Binding Editor help will be updated in two
  topics. 'Exporting Event Specifications' and 'Specifying EP
  adapter and dispatcher information' will both be updated. In
  each case, the correct identifier (for example "_CBE", "_CBER",
  or "_WBE") will be added to the sample file names.
  .
  This fix will be made available in Version 5.1.0.1 of
  the CICS Explorer.
