PM27983: ALLOW TRANSACTION EXPIRATION TO BE TURNED OFF BY TRANSACTION CODE IF THE REMOTE CLIENT HAS SET TE IN IRM HEADER.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• -  The CEX GUI does not provide a confirmation pop-up before
  making a change to a message exit such as disabling the message
  exit.
  -  MSGCEX5050I should be issued to the Joblog and Console for
  message exit processing so that automated operations tools can
  detect the message being disabled and perform alert
  notifications.
  -  MSGCEX5063I is incorrect in the status of the Transaction
  Time-out and is missing the status of Cancel Client ID status
  -  An ABEND0C1 can occur in module CEXTECL1 after a CLOSEHWS
  FORCE command is issued
  -  New feature to allow Transaction Expiration to be turned off
  by transaction code if the remote client has indicated that
  Transaction Expiration is to be set in the IRM header.
  -  For a transaction definition, at runtime and during a
  transaction REFRESH command, Transaction Expiration and Client
  ID Cancellation settings are set to "inactive" if Activate
  Transaction Routing is active and Override Application options
  is not active.
  -  The IVP program sends IRM_F4 as x'00' when it should be a
  blank. This prevents HWSSMPL0/1 from setting transaction
  expiration if requested in IRM_F1.

  This APAR is addressing the following issues:
  1.The CEX GUI does not provide a confirmation pop-up before
  making a change to a message exit such as disabling
  the message exit.
  2.Message CEX5050I should be issued to the Joblog and
  Console for message exit processing so that automated
  operations tools can detect the message being disabled
  and perform alert notifications.
  3.Message CEX5063I is incorrect in the status of the
  Transaction Time-out and is missing the status of Cancel
  Client ID status.
  4.An 0C1 can occur in module CEXTECL1 after a CLOSEHWS
  FORCE command is issued.
  5.New feature to allow Transaction Expiration to be turned
  off by transaction code if the remote client has
  indicated that Transaction Expiration is to be set in
  the IRM header.
  6.For a transaction definition, at runtime and during a
  transaction REFRESH command, Transaction Expiration
  and Client ID Cancellation settings are set to "inactive"
  if Activate Transaction Routing is active and Override
  Application options is not active.
  7.The IVP program sends IRM_F4 as x'00' when it should
  be a blank. This prevents HWSSMPL0/1 from setting
  transaction expiration if requested in IRM_F1.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The following changes have been made in this APAR:
  1.The CEX GUI has been changed to require user confirmation
  before issuing message exit command that result in changes
  to the status of the message exits.
  2.Message CEX5050I for exit maintenance actions is not issued
  on the Joblog and Console for use by automated operations.
  3.Corrected message CEX5063I to reflect the proper status of
  the transaction definition.
  4.It is possible for an event to be posted for a port task
  that is in the process of being terminated. If this
  happens, CEXTECL1 may attempt to use a service that has
  been disconnected from the port task during termination.
  A check is made to determine if the port task has been
  disconnected from the service to prevent an 0C1 abend
  trying to call the disconnected service.
  5.Changes made to not incorrectly set Transaction Expiration
  and Client ID Cancellation options.
  6.Changed the IVP program to correctly set IRM_F4 to a blank
  when necessary.
