Local fix

  • Change the VERSION(0320) to VERSION(new_release), and recompile
    the CPSM API program
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlex SM Users.                       *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend S0C6 can occur in a CMAS          *
    *                      region, in module EYU0XZPT, when        *
    *                      EYU0MOXT tries to put exception         *
    *                      trace entry for CONVERT transformation  *
    *                      failure.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: This fix affects CMAS regions and will take  *
    *                 effect from the next CMAS restart.           *
    *                 The CMAS restarts may occur in any order.    *
    ****************************************************************
    EYU0MOXT writes an exception trace point if an error occurs
    while performing resource table conversion. This may be required
    where there is a difference between the CPSM API connect version
    of an application, and the CMAS CICSPlex SM version.
    When EYU0MOXT calls trace_put to write this exception trace
    point, data related to the fields and resources being converted
    are also traced. However EYU0MOXT passes an incorrect value
    required to locate the ALET to address the data being traced.
    
    When EYU0XZPT attempts to use this input to locate the ALET
    it is unable to load the correct ALET value.
    This causes a specification exception, resulting in the abend
    S0C6 in EYU0XZPT in the CMAS.
    This manifests itself with the following message in the CMAS
    region, beginning with:
        EYUXL0905E ASRA IN XZPT, OFFSET 00000C00
    

Problem conclusion

  • EYU0MOXT trace_put call for the CONVERT exception trace point
    (mos_cnvt_xcpt), to pass the correct ALET token value, to
    ensure EYU0XZPT can address and locate the correct ALET value
    for the passed in data item.
