PI15619: VALUE 'INTERNAL' CAN SHOW UNDER FIELD "FAILURE REASON" ON THE TRANSACTION TRANSIT LOG REPORT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Confusion is caused by error INTERNAL when it shows in the
  Transaction Transit Log report under field Failure Reason as
  follows:
  InputQ  Process  OutputQ Total    IMS Resp Failure  Commit
  Time    Time     Time    IMS Time Time     Reason   Mode
  5866    1424       -     3883        -              0
  316     768        -     1084     12454    INTERNAL 0
  
  The IMS PA Report Reference manual documents this as:
  "Internal error processing transaction in log, contact IBM"
  
  The "INTERNAL" failure reason is simply that, an internal
  diagnostic error and as such should not be reported as a
  transaction failure.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IMS Performance Analyzer V4.3       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IMS PA form-based reports show          *
  *                      FAILED=INTERNAL error                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The INTERNAL failure code is not a transaction abend/failure
  code, rather it indicates an internal processing or logic
  error which should not be reported as a transaction failure.
  

Problem conclusion

• Remove INTERNAL as a transaction failure reason from the
  form-based reports.
  The description of the field "FAILED - Transaction failure
  indicator" is now:
  The reason for an IMS or Connect transaction failure.
  Reported values are:
  blank Transaction did not fail
  ABEND Transaction abended
  CANCEL Transaction cancelled
  REJECT Transaction rejected
  SESSION Connect transaction failed due to a session error
  SF=? Fast Path Syncpoint Failure, code = ?
