PH49408: DISABLE MONITOR END-TO-END ACCESS IN REAL TIME FOR AUDIT PURPOSES INTRODUCED BY APAR PH30252 23/03/10 PTF PECHANGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• APAR PH30252 for CICS TS changed the behaviour related with the
  CICS-Db2 Attach. With this APAR applied, CICS-Db2 Attach is
  enhanced to detect that adapter origin data is present, and if
  the DB2ENTRY or pool specifies ACCOUNTREC(TASK) or
  ACCOUNTREC(UOW), passes extra  data to Db2 when issuing a
  partial or full signon.
  
  The appl-longname will contain the 64 bytes of Adapter id
  preceded by a 28 byte string eyecatcher. It will result in the
  Db2 special register CURRENT CLIENT_APPLNAME being set by CICS
  and the data is written to the Db2 accounting record.
  
  But now the customer needs a way to configure CICS so they can
  continue explicity setting the long name client application
  name, instead of CICS. The customer needs a way to disable this
  CICS auditing function.

  the DB2ENTRY or pool specifies ACCOUNTREC(TASK) or
  ACCOUNTREC(UOW), passes extra  data to Db2 when issuing a
  partial or full signon.
  
  This is an issue when using Db2 stored procedure
  WLM_SET_CLIENT_INFO as that also changes the same accounting
  record at partial or full signon.
  

Problem conclusion

• UI74497 UI74496 UI74495
  
  CICS provides new feature toggle 'com.ibm.cics.db2.origindata'
  to add the option to bypass feature of APAR PH30252.
  
  The IBM Documentation will be updated with a new feature toggle
  com.ibm.cics.db2.origindata={true|false} true being the default.
  
  This feature toggle allows you to use the adapter tracking
  capability.
