PH27436: CICS ISSUES SDUMPS DURING INQUIRE FEPI TARGET OPERATION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A CICS TS 5.5 region is started with FEPI=YES, subsequently a
  "CEMT I FETA" (yes FETA) command is issued which forces a bunch
  of dumps to be taken with the following messages:
  
  DFHXS0002 A severe error (code X'070D') has occurred in module
  DFHXSRC.
  
  The investigation showed that DFHEIQSZ should only call
  DFHXSRC at the start of a browse of the FEPI resources but
  it is happening for every resource in the browse.
  
  XSRC_ACCESS is not being initialised correctly after the
  call at the start of the browse and this is leading to the
  severe errors in DFHXSRC.
  

Local fix

• Not available.
  

Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: It is possible to receive the following *
  *                      abend when issuing CEMT INQUIRE FETA;   *
  *                      DFHXS0002 A severe error (code X'070D') *
  *                      has occurred in module DFHXSRC.         *
  ****************************************************************
  When using CEMT I FETA or issuing an
  EXEC CICS FEPI INQUIRE TARGET START to review any FEPI Targets
  it is possible to receive a DFHXS0002 A severe error
  (code X'070D') has occurred in module DFHXSRC.
  This may happen because DFHEIQSZ is incorrectly issuing security
  calls for each read next and end browse.
  
  Keyword: tid_xsrc_invalid_access
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHEIQSZ has been changed to avoid making security calls for
  both the read next and end browse when inquiring on FEPI
  Targets.
