Error description
Prior to CPSM 6.1, all storage allocated internally by CICSPlex SM was allocated in CICS key, whereas in 6.1 and 6.2 some storage is being allocated in USER key instead.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlex SM Users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CPSM internal storage is allocated in * * user key storage and prior to CICS TS * * 6.1 it was always allocated in CICS * * key. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: The PTFs addressing this APAR should be * * applied to all CPSM regions, and the regions * * should be restarted. The restart of CICS * * regions can be performed in any order. * **************************************************************** Prior to CICS TS 6.1, CPSM internal storage was allocated using the EXECKEY(CICS). However, the CPSM internal storage obtained in EYU0XSCG now incorrectly requests its internal storage using the EXECKEY(USER). As a result, CPSM may exhibit unexpected behavior due to change in storage key.
Problem conclusion
EYU0XSCG has been updated to ensure that CPSM internal storage is obtained using the CICS key.
