PM79865: UNRELATED 67FF RECORDS APPEARING IN FAST PATH TRACKING RESULT SET

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Type x'67FF' records are assigned to "open" tracking result
  set(s), generally the last transaction. This is not correct
  in Fast Path because the transaction log records are not cut
  until the transaction actually completes successfully.
  To correct, transaction bounds checking for Fast Path should be
  amended to exclude records (including 67FF) that do not apply.
  
  This APAR will also contain the IMS PI V220 forward fit
  of APAR: PM80152

  ****************************************************************
  This APAR is addressing the following issues:
  1.Unrelated 67FF records appearing in Fast Path tracking result
  set. 67FF records are assigned to "open" tracking result set(s),
  generally the last transaction. This is not correct in Fast Path
  because the transaction log records are not cut until the
  transaction actually completes successfully
  2.When Tracking starts on a CEX SSL event record other required
  SSL event records may be omitted. CEX transaction tracking
  may not correctly register the start record for the result
  set when the start event is a CEX SSL record.
  3.Not able to filter on log record codes 5050, 5051 and 5052.
  The list of supported filter codes does not include 5050, 5051
  and 5052
  4.Support the extended CA01 Transaction Index record.
  IMS PI does not currently support the extended CA01 Transaction
  Index record.
  5.Various tracking and filter/form enhancements.
  Enhancements needed to improve the effectiveness of the tracking
  and filter/form functions.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following changes have been made for the above issues:
  1.Transaction bounds checking for Fast Path amended so as to
  exclude records (including 67FF) that do not apply.
  2.CEX tracking must register SSL event records as the start of
  the result set.
  (Includes retro-fit of IMS PI V230 PM79865)
  3.Update the list of supported filter codes to include 5050,
  5051 and 5052
  4.Provide support for the extended CA01 Transaction Index
  record.
  5.Improve the tracking and filter/form functionality
