PI55657: MULTIPLE ISSUES

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 1. A PING request shows incorrect information in event x'3E',
  the origin DS name of PING_IMS is incorrectly propagated
     to the target DS name field.
  2. If sending of a SendOnly transaction to OTMA is delayed for
     any reason, it can result in the trigger event for a
     SendOnly transaction being issued while the next SendOnly
     transaction on the same ICON session is being processed by
     the message exit. This can cause the CEX SVT control block to
     be cleared for the first transaction after the SVT has been
     updated with the results of message exit processing for the
     second SendOnly transaction. This corruption of the CEX SVT
     can result in several errors but is most noticable when it
     results in routing errors and/or the HWSS0742W message.
  
  Summary of changes:
  1. Add exception code to handle the PING case.
  2. A change in SVT maintenance for SendOnly transaction is made
     to delay cleanup of the CEX SVT so that it is not impacted
     by a delayed trigger event.
