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.
