PH23886: CPSM EYU9DNNN INACCURATE TIMESTAMP FORMATTING

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Formatting dumps with the CICSPlex SM dump formatting routine
  VERBX EYU9Dnnn can print inaccurate timestamp values.
  This occurs when formatting stored clocks values for stack
  creation times, and when formatting the CMAS-MAS connection
  summary.
  The problem arises when the dump being formatted originated
  on a different MVS image from where IPCS is executing.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Formatting a CICSPlex SM dump using     *
  *                      VERBX EYU9Dnnn with either the COM or   *
  *                      TASKS keywords will print some          *
  *                      timestamps in LOCAL time.               *
  *                      Due to an error in the time conversion  *
  *                      process these timestamps are converted  *
  *                      to local time incorrectly.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves         *
  *                 PH23886, restart any IPCS sessions pointing  *
  *                 to the version of EYU9D520, EYU9D530,        *
  *                 EYU9D540, or EYU9D550 distributed by the     *
  *                 PTF. A link list update and LLA refresh may  *
  *                 be required where these modules are held     *
  *                 in the linklist.                             *

  Formatting a CICSPlex SM SVC dump using any of
  VERBX EYU9D520
  VERBX EYU9D530
  VERBX EYU9D540
  VERBX EYU9D550
  with either the COM or TASKS keywords will print some stored
  clock values in LOCAL time. The affected timestamps appear
  in the following sections of the formatted dump report:
  - Kernel linkage summary for component <componentID>
  - CMAS-CMAS direct connection summary for <cmasname>
  - CMAS-MAS connection summary for <cmasname>
  
  An error fetching the CVT while converting the timestamps
  means that these timestamps are converted into local
  time incorrectly, therefore the value displayed is not an
  accurate representation of the stored clock value.
  The CVTLSO and CVTLDTO values are required for local time
  conversion.
  This error occurs when the address space running the the
  dump formatting routine executes on a different zOS LPAR
  to where the dump was captured, or during a different IPL
  of the same LPAR.
  

Problem conclusion

• Modules EYU0DVKF and EYU0DVOF have been updated to interpret
  the STCK values correctly.
