Problem summary


    

  • CICS Explorer V5.1 fails to connect to CICS VSE with the
message:
IZE0105E Connection failed with exception null
In the code path for a VSE connection a Null Pointer Exception
is generated.  Because of the different code flow from the NPE
the VSE connection is not attempted.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The fix adds guard code for a null reference which prevents the
NPE.
