PH62183: CDFS IS SHOWN IN QUEUED REQUEST INSTEAD OF USER TRANSACTION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Comproute of PH52408.
  Customer reported that when he executes this command to start a
  transaction:
  EXEC CICS START TRANSID('RVRD') AFTER MINUTES(10) END-EXEC
  
  If the transaction (RVRD in this case) is defined with
  DYNAMIC=YES then he saw that the transaction for the
  corresponding ICE is CDFS (instead of RVRD)
  And with CECI INQUIRE REQID it returns TRANSID('CDFS').
  .
  If the transaction RVRD is defined with DYNAMIC=NO then the ICE
  shows the correct transaction RVRD.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CDFS transaction is being attached for  *
  *                      every non-terminal-related deferred     *
  *                      START in non-routing regions leading to *
  *                      MAXTASK condition in CICS.              *
  ****************************************************************
  If the user transaction to be started is eligible for dynamic
  routing, system transaction CDFS will run and start the user
  transaction at the time specified by INTERVAL, AFTER, AT or TIME
  option of EXEC CICS START command.
  CICS TS 5.5 onwards in order for a non-terminal-related START
  request to be dynamically routed the target transaction needed
  to be defined as DYNAMIC(YES) with a routing program, specified
  by either DSRTPGM or DTRPGM.
  The value of system initialization parameter DSRTPGM supplies
  the name of a routing program.
  The transaction defined as DYNAMIC(YES) with DSRTPGM=NONE
  indicates that no routing is expected. However, the CDFS
  transaction is still being attached for all non-terminal-related
  EXEC CICS START requests that specified an INTERVAL and may lead
  to hitting MAXTASK condition in CICS region.
  This is a comproute of PH52408.
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS has been changed so that the CDFS transaction is only
  attached when a routing program has been defined and the
  transaction is defined as DYNAMIC(YES).
