Error description
When using the new Explorer Aggregate function there is an option to Expand Group in New View. Selecting this option creates a new View which shows up in View Configurations Usually when you close the View the (Expanded) view is deleted and no longer shows up in the View Configurations panel. But, expanded views are not deleted if CICS Explorer quits abnormally, or the perspective is closed/reset. In our testing they are deleted correctly if the view is closed.
Local fix
NA
Problem summary
Using the Expand Group in New View feature to create a new transient view showing grouped data, if the Perspective were reset while the expanded view was still open, this causes the view to close. Later on, looking in the CICS View Configurations preferences page and the Quick Access search box, the expanded view is still shown, and at this point it has to be deleted manually.
Problem conclusion
CICS Explorer has been updated so that it deletes any expanded views when the Perspectives associated with them are are closed. . This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.0.2 of the CICS Explorer. .
