    unique.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The correlator generated by CICS TG     *
    *                      might not be unique                     *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    CICS TG generates a correlator for use with CICS. A restart of
    the Gateway daemon might result in a previous correlator value
    being reused.
    

Problem conclusion

  • CICS TG has been corrected.  The CICS TG logic to generate the
    correlator value will now generate unique correlator values.
    The CICS TG monitoring exit has been updated to provide the
    correlator value through the CicsCorrelator field.
    

Temporary fix
