PK89305: WAIT IN CEX IF ARCHIVE JOB SUBMITTED AND JES2 IS DOWN

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the CEX journal manager attempts to submit an archive job to
  JES via the internal reader while JES is not available, the
  internal reader process will hang and prevent CEX from
  journaling event records until JES has been restarted.  This is
  likely to result in the IMS Connect region entering a wait state
  because all of the event recording buffers are full.

  This APAR is correcting the following problems:
  1. If the CEX journal manager attempts to submit an archive
  job to JES via the internal reader while JES is not
  available, the internal reader process will hang and
  prevent CEX from journaling event records until JES has
  been restarted. This is likely to result in the IMS
  Connect region entering a wait state because all of the
  event recording buffers are full.
  2. The VIEWHWS SUMMARY command has changed in IMS V11 to
  include the SHOW(SUMMARY) option. This APAR provides
  support for this new option when the VIEWHWS SUMMARY
  request is issued from the CEX Console.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1.This APAR changes the CEX component to support the
  changes made to the CEX journal manager to allow for
  asynchronous submission of the archive job via the JES
  internal reader.
  2.Processing of the VIEWHWS SUMMARY for IMS Connect V11
  is changed to QUERY MEMBER TYPE(IMSCON) SHOW(SUMMARY)
  for this request.
