PI09155: ADJUST HANDLING OF IMS LOG TYPE X'6701' AND X'4040' RECORDS IN CERTAIN CASES

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Two issues being addressed:
  1. IMS log type x'6701' for Sync callout events has 'USER SGM'
     section that is incorrectly interpreted as an IMS Connect
     HWSOMUSR structure when the environment is not IMS Connect.
  2. IMS log type x'4040' incorrectly formats fields UOWIMSST and
     UOWCQSST.
  
  Keywords: TYPE6701 TYPE4040 6701 4040
  
  Additional three issues addressed:
  1) In the detail display for a CEX journal 0042
  record (Message received from OTMA), IMS PI shows most
  fields that are STCK timestamp in local date/time format.
  CERE_42_SVTTOKN is only displayed in dump format. It
  is a STCK timestamp so it should also be formatted showing
  local date and time.
  2) When IMS Problem Investigator 2.3 formats the header
  of a type01 record for an OTMA message, the LUY_ASYNC_TOKEN
  field (and also LUY_TOKEN) in the PTMA message prefix data is
  displayed in dump format. These are STCK timestamps so IMS PI
  should display the timestamp in local date/time format.
  3) In tracking a transaction lifecycle we currently track
  based on the contents of the IMS x'08' User Token(LINTTOKN) but
  only if the region type is set as AER/ODBA. We need to make
  the contents of the LINTTOKN available for tracking regardless
  of region type.

  This APAR is addressing the following issues:
  1. IMS log type x'6701' for Sync callout events has 'USER SGM'
  section that is incorrectly interpreted as an IMS Connect
  HWSOMUSR structure when the environment is not IMS Connect.
  2. IMS log type x'4040' incorrectly formats fields UOWIMSST and
  UOWCQSST.
  3. CEX records that include SVTTOKN not formatted as timestamp
  in Zoom mode.
  4. Some IMS log records that include an OTMA section may have
  fields that contain a STCK value that are not formatted as
  timestamp in Zoom mode.
  5. Tracking may not produce a complete result set where records
  may be correlated by a User Token.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following changes have been made for the above issues:
  1. In IMS x'6701' record if the 'USER SGM' section is not for
  IMS Connect then it is dumped.
  2. In IMS x'4040' record fields UOWIMSST and UOWCQSST are
  formatted as 2-byte flag fields.
  3. Changed the formatting of SVTTOKN in CEX records when in
  Zoom mode to format SVTTOKN as an STCK timestamp instead
  of a hex value. The change in formatting does not change
  the fact that SVTTOKN is a TOKEN value and may not always
  be a valid STCK timestamp.
  4. Changed the formatting of certain fields in the IMS OTMA
  section to display as timestamps when in Zoom mode.
  5. IMS PI only propagated the contents of the x'08' user
  Token field (LINTTOKN) if the region type was identified
  as AER/ODBA. As a result of this change the contents of
  LINTTOKN are made available for tracking regardless of
  the x'08' region type.
  6. Provide knowledge module for new CEX event 173 added for
  ACEE cache cleanup reporting.
