Error description
After upgrading CICS Explorer when the customer tries to define a new resource he receives the following error: !ENTRY com.ibm.cics.core.ui.editors 4 0 date time !MESSAGE CNX0622E: Create Transaction Definition "ABCD" in "CICSABCD" failed !SUBENTRY 1 com.ibm.cics.explorer.tables.ui 4 0 date time !MESSAGE CNX0594E: Error Bad Request: DFHWU4027 ( A value of a specified attribute was out-of-range or not valid.)(400) URL "h ttps://host:port/CICSSystemManagement/CICSDefinitionTransaction /plexname/CICSABCD" To define this new resource definition it is using the NEW FROM option within Explorer. The problem is being caused by Explorer setting the CHANGEAGENT to CSDAPI, and CPSM 5.4 not thinking that is a valid value.
Local fix
n/a
Problem summary
When connected to a CICS TS 5.4 plex via CMCI, finding a definition with the change agent CSDBATCH or CSDAPI and selecting 'new from' causes an error when the name is updated and the wizard is finished. When using 'new from', the change agent is incorrectly included in attributes copied across from the original definition to the new one. This change agent is then passed to CPSM which gives the error because this attribute is set by CICS and is not valid as input for a definition.
Problem conclusion
CICS Explorer has been updated so when using 'new from', the change agent is now not copied across into the new definition. . This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.19 of the CICS Explorer. .
