    ?query={cicsplex(name:"PRODPLEX") {cpsmManagers{mas(filter:{sta

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlexSM Users.                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Exception trace records are             *
    *                      incorrectly written by CMAS regions     *
    *                      when CMCI GraphQL interface requests    *
    *                      complete successfully.                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: The PTFs addressing this APAR should be      *
    *                 applied to all WUI regions, and the          *
    *                 regions restarted. This may be performed     *
    *                 in any order.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    When the CMCI GraphQL interface requests are made, the interface
    tries to ensure the result isn't larger than the JVM server can
    handle. However incorrectly, for non CICS resource type
    resources being queried, the GraphQL interface logic attempts
    to perform a EXEC CPSM GET reuqest with TEST to obtain the
    count. This is not valid for the EXEC CPSM API for non CICS
    resource types. Though this is handled by the GraphQL logic, and
    the request completes, the request results in an exception trace
    record to be written to the CMAS trace as its not valid.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The CMCI GraphQL logic has been corrected, to prevent an invalid
    EXEC CPSM GET TEST call for resource types that are not valid
    for querying with the TEST option. This ensures the exception
    trace is not written in this scenario.
