Error description

  • Using the CICS Cloud perspective in the CICS Explorer you are
tryingt o export a CICS Application Project.  But it fails to
successfully export to HFS (zFS).  In the CICS Explorer trace
file we see the exception is:
.
 com.ibm.cics.application.ui.internal.wizard.UnexportedBundles
 Page.recalculateUnexportedBundles()
 [java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException]
 java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
 .
 Caused by: com.ibm.cics.core.model.CICSSystemManagerException:
 BUNDLE, NOTAVAILABLE, SCOPE
.
This leads to the com.ibm.cics.bundle.ui.BundleProjectExportWiz
ard.performFinish() call failing with a
  java.lang.NullPointerException.
.
The CICSSystemManagerException of BUNDLE, NOTAVAILABLE, SCOPE
is typically returned in CPSM when an API request fails where:
 One or more MASes in the request scope are not available
.
.

Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • When CICS Explorer queries bundles within a region during the
export of an application to an installed platform with no active
regions and a NOTAVAILABLE/SCOPE error is received a
JAVA.LANG.NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION error is thrown and processing
stops.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The null pointer exception is corrected. When exporting an
application to a platform in a CICSplex with no active regions,
the export will return a NOTAVAILABLE/SCOPE error and processing
will continue.
.
This fix will be made available in Version 5.3.0.21 of the CICS
Explorer.
