PK62357: CEX MESSAGE CANNOT BE ROUTED IF DATASTORE INACTIVE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer is using IMS v9 + ICON Extension v210, there are 2 and
  2 icon in IMSPLEX group. Each ICON connected to 2 IMS. When
  we test the Primary routing function, the message is using
   datastore group name to send in ICON. At that time, if IMS is
  active, the datastore group name can be translate to real
  datastore name withou error. If Datastore is inactive(IMS
  shutdown), the 'Datastore is not found' message is shown on
  ICON JOBLOG. I saw following message:
  HWSS0742W MESSAGE FAILED, ORIGIN=5001 _B999A01I TO
  DESTID=PLEXGRP1; R=4, S=NFNDDST , M=SRE4 It's strange because
  the datastore group 'PLEXGRP1' include 'FGIMS51' and
  'FGIMS52'. If FGIMS51 is not available, message should be
  routed to FGIMS52.

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Transaction routing is not performed    *
  *                      for IMS messages that do not have a     *
  *                      valid transaction code.                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Transaction routing is not performed for IMS messages that
  do not have a valid transaction code.
  

Problem conclusion

• Transaction definition have been extended to allow the User
  to define a special transaction code ($NOTRAN$). For
  messages without a valid transaction the $NOTRAN$ record
  is checked.
  If the record exists, it is used to route the message
  otherwise the message is not routed.
