PI90119: CICS IS NOT USING THE CHANNEL NAME DEFINED IN THE CHANNEL DESCRIPTION DOCUMENT WHEN PROCESSING A JSON WEB SERVICE.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• I have created a wsbind file using DFHLS2JS with a channel
  description document describing the input channel name,
  container name and pointing to the PDS structure.
  
  When the request comes in, the channel name that is used
  instead of the one I have defined is DFHNODE. Because it is not
  using the channel name that I have specified, this causes a
  channel not found to occur.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Channel described in channel            *
  *                      description document is passed to JSON  *
  *                      web service with an incorrect name.     *
  ****************************************************************
  A JSON web service is created in CICS, using the native
  (non-Java) implementation.  A channel description document was
  provided as input to DFHLS2JS to describe the structure of the
  request and response data.
  
  When called, the containers described by the channel description
  document are passed to application program in channel DFHNODE,
  rather than the channel specified in the channel description
  document.  As a result any EXEC CICS GET CONTAINER calls made by
  the application program to retrieve the containers from the
  expected channel will fail with a CHANNELERR condition if they
  specify the channel name.
  
  When using CICS TS for z/OS 5.4, the program is passed an
  empty DFHNODE channel.
  
  Using either CICS TS for z/OS 5.3 or 5.4, any containers created
  in the channel specified by the channel description document are
  freed upon completion of the program so are not returned in the
  response.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIJS has been modified to rename the DFHNODE channel if a
  channel description document has been used, before the
  application program is called.
