PH29923: INQUIRE TRANSACTION RETURNS INVALID APPLICATION ATTRIBUTES.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A TRANSACTION is installed with a PROFILE that does not exist
  or has not been installed. When EXEC CICS INQUIRE TRANSACTION
  is issued to query the TRANSACTION some application related
  attributes contain invalid values. APPLMAJORVER, APPLMICROVER
  and APPLMINORVER will be zero rather than valid values or -1.
  AVAILSTATUS will be zero rather than AVAILABLE, UNAVAILABLE or
  NONE.
  
  If the CICS Explorer Local Transactions view is
  aggregated with such a TRANSACTION installed then the view will
  not render with the following error displayed:
  
  An internal
  error occurred during: "Get Group: LOCTRAN". Non-null value was
  null
  
  The messages.log file for the EYUCMCIJ JVM server will
  show:
  
  com.ibm.cics.drake.jcpsm.RecordDecoder$AttributeDecoder
  1 decode Unexpected value decoding attribute AVAILSTATUS
