Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

Error description

• BMP to MPP Program switch transactions are not being associated
  with the originating BMP trigger. In the case that the
  transaction is cancelled/abends before processing this state is
  not reflected in the IMS PA reports, in addition none of the
  metrics associated with Program switch transactions are
  available for reporting in this type of transaction.
  Additional issue addressed:
  ABEND0C9 COMCSUTC + x'396' when running the DASH report or FP
  Transit report.                                S0C9 ABENDS0C9

  This APAR addresses the following issues:
  1. BMP to MPP Program switch transactions are not being
  associated with the originating BMP trigger. In the case that
  the transaction is cancelled/abends before processing this state
  is not reflected in the IMS PA reports, in addition none of the
  metrics associated with Program switch transactions are
  available for reporting in this type of transaction.
  2. Abend S0C9 COMCSUTC+396.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following changes have been made for the above issues:
  1. Transactions that are spawned by a BMP Trigger containing
  valid tokens (the PST ID and Recovery Token) are associated to
  the originating UOR in the BMP trigger region. These
  transactions are now treated as Program switch transactions
  for the purposes of IMS PA reporting and the fields and metrics
  associated with Program switch transactions can be calculated.
  2. For Fast Path reporting IMS PA creates an Index record for
  each Syncpoint Failure encountered, if the Index record so
  created does not contain a valid UTC timestamp then an invalid
  STCK may be used in deriving the transaction arrival time.
