PI85044: CICS LOGON (CESN) USING CONSOLE SUPPORT. AFTER RACF TIMEOUT, THENEXT LOGON (MODIFY) PICKS UP GNTRAN (CSGM) INSTEAD OF CESN.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using a modify command (/F cicsname,CESN USERID=uuuu PS=pppp) a
  user logs on to CICS. After a minute, the user gets timed out
  (timeout value in the RACF profile for the user is set to 60
  seconds). When CESC runs, CICS sets the terminal Next_Transid
  field to "CSGM". In the trace we see:
  AP 1700 TFIQ  ENTRY - FUNCTION(SET_TERMINAL_FACILITY)
  TERMINAL_TOKEN(11E81ED0) PSEUDO_CONV_NEXT_TRANSID(CSGM)
  .
  When a subsequent modify command logon (/F cicsname,CESN...)
  is issued, trxn_id "CSGM" is invoked and not "CESN".
  .
  Code in DFHCESC issues the SET_TERMINAL_FACILITY when
  TCTEGMMI & ^TCTESUR.
  .
  TCTEGMMI is bit '02' at offset x'216' into the terminal.
  BUT, this is a console so the terminal length is x'120'.
  If residual storage after the console has this bit set then
  the Next_Transid field is set to the SIT GMTRAN parameter.

  ****************************************************************
  A CICS console session is timed-out.
  CICS incorrectly starts the Good Morning transaction
  (defined in the GMTRAN system initialization parameter)
  on the console terminal.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHCESC has been changed to prevent it from starting the
  GMTRAN transaction on a console terminal.
