PH65366: WRONGLY GET THE DFHAM4990 MESSAGES WHEN CQPI AND CQPO ARE ADDED IN ERROR TO THE DFHCOMPK COMPATIBILITY GROUP IN CICS 6.2

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In CICS 6.2, CQPI and CQPO have been added in error to the
  DFHCOMPK compatibility group. They are already in the DFHCOMPJ
  compatibility group. They should not be in the DFHCOMPK group
  too. Were they not there, you would not get the DFHAM4990
  messages for them. CQPI and CQPO should be removed from the
  DFHCOMPK compatibility group. In addition, adding DFHCOMPJ to
  the information in Table 1 of the compatibility grid at https:/
  /www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSJL4D_6.x/upgrading/process/upgrade_regio
  ns_share_csd.html,showing what groups should be used by CICS 6.1
  a CICS 6.2 CSD (from the CICS Resource Reference manual quoted
  above).

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DFHAM4990 issued for CQPI and CQPO      *
  *                      transactions if DFHCOMPK used.          *
  ****************************************************************
  DFHCOMPK can be used by a CICS 6.1 region when sharing a CSD
  with a CICS 6.2 system. DFHCOMPK contains transaction
  definitions for CQPI and CQPO. Since these transaction
  definitions are now hard-coded within CICS as from 6.1,
  attempting to install them from DFHCOMPK results in
  DFHAM4990 messages.
    Note the same is seen if a customer incorrectly uses
  the DFHCOMPK compatibility group when using a CICS 6.2
  region. This is a user error as DFHCOMPK is intended for
  lower releases of CICS that need to share the CICS 6.2 CSD.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHCURDM and DFHCURDX have been changed to delete CQPI and CQPO
  from the DFHCOMPK compatibility group.
  
  To correct the CSD the user will need to run DFHCSDUP with the
  following parameters specified:
  UPGRADE USING(DFHCURDM)
