PH63389: WUI MAS VIEW DISPLAYS INCONSISTENT VALUES

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When viewing the WUI MAS view (EYUSTARTMAS), several xxxSEV
  fields may display as NO.  When you set CSYSDEF to "NO" for the
  xxxSEV fields, CPSM will propagate this over to the relevant MAS
  fields.  Internally, this works fine but CPSM then present these
  values out through the CICSPlex SM API even though they are not
  properly declared in the resource table.  This is a problem for
  the GraphQL API as that requires a far stricter model than the
  native CPSM API.

  ****************************************************************
  In CICSPlex SM, a CICS System Definition (CSYSDEF) supports
  several fields which control the severity for SAM monitoring
  events. These fields are:
  SAMSEV, SOSSEV, SDMSEV, TDMSEV, MXTSEV, STLSEV, NRMSEV.
  These fields can be set to "NO" to exclude the condition from
  monitoring.
  The value chosen will also be set on the MAS record. This is
  the operational record representing this definition. On the
  MAS resource table, "NO" was not declared as one of the
  enumerated values for these fields. When fetching the MAS
  record using the CICSPlex SM GraphQL interface, if one of
  these fields had the value "NO", then GraphQL returned an
  error:
    Exception while fetching data
    (/cicsplex/cpsmManagers/mas/records[0]/samsev) :
    Unexpected value detected in output for MAS.SAMSEV"
  

Problem conclusion

• The enumerations for the event severity fields have been
  corrected. A corresponding update has been made to the
  WUI Field Level Help for these fields, and the corresponding
  ACTION fields:
  SAMACTION, SOSACTION, SDMACTION, TDMACTION, MXTACTION,
  STLACTION, NRMACTION.
