  ****************************************************************
  A CMCI Client such as CICS Explorer is used to access a
  CICSSharedTSQueue record. This is the CMCI record representing a
  shared temporary storage queue (TSQSHR).
  These records are expected to contain a HEXNAME field, which
  represents the name of the queue encoded in printable
  hexadecimal characters. This field is not being filled in, and
  so contains binary zeros.
  When a delete request is made for a CICSSharedTSQueue record,
  the HEXNAME and POOLNAME must be supplied. The HEXNAME field
  returned when retrieving the CICSSharedTSQueue was set to zeros,
  so when this value is used as input on a subsequent delete
  request, it matches all CICSSharedTSQueue records with the
  same POOLNAME.
  

Problem conclusion

• CPSM has been updated to correctly set the HEXNAME value in
  TSQSHR / CICSSharedTSQueue records.
