APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Changing both the z/OS host and Connection name may cause
workspace corruption.

The workspace corruption is that the connection between CARMA
and z/OS Projects may get lost, as well as with property
groups, file system mappings, and possibly more.

Local fix

  • Prior to renaming the connection disconnect from the server.

Problem summary

  • When a user renames a connection that is associated with
property groups, subprojects and file system mappings, the
workspace becomes corrupt.  Additionally, when a hostname for a
connection is changed, an exception can occur due to missing
checking.

Problem conclusion

  • The corruption occurs because a key construct (the IOSImage)
associated with the connection name is not updated when the
connection name changes.  When that happens, this construct
(which is needed by subprojects, property groups and mappings)
can no longer be found.

Temporary fix
