  • z/OS Debugger service 16.0.6.2 for
    IBM Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition 16.0.6
     IBM Developer for z/OS 16.0.6
     IBM Debug for z/OS 16.0.6
    
     IBM Test Accelerator for Z 1.0.2.
    
       There are no other IDz/IDzEE client or host related updates
       for TAZ 1.0.2.  z/OS Debugger host service 16.0.6.2 is
       the only service update needed for TAZ 1.0.2.

    -TAZ - Data comparison on WRITE fails for RECFM=V file.
    
     When recording a testcase in a RECFM=V QSAM dataset, the
     Dynamic Test Engine (DTE) stores the record prefix containing
     the length field (LLBB) as well as the portion of the data
     buffer visible to the user's program.  However, during
     playback, only the program data (starting after the LLBB) gets
     compared against the recorded data, so there is always a
     mismatch.  The playback ends with RC=4.
    
     (PH65191 at 16.0)
    
    
    -Test Accelerator for z/OS (TAZ) replay EXEC CICS READNEXT of
     VSAM file without RBA,XRBA,RRN or KEYLENGTH results in
     ABENDS0C4.
    
     Using Test Accelerator for z/OS (TAZ) v1.0.1, the replay
     (running the test case) of an EXEC CICS READNEXT for a VSAM
     file that does not specify RBA, XRBA, RRN or KEYLENGTH,
     results in ABENDS0C4.
    
     The joblog would display the abend similar to the following:
     Module BZUXCLCT, CSECT BZUXCLCT, offset X'706': Abend
     S0C4-X'11' (Page-Translation Exception)

    Non TAZ related fixes:
    
    
    -Multiple CICS abends AZI6 followed by message DFHPC0409 and
     CICS shutdown when DTCN tried to access EQADPFMB file in a
     remote region.
    
     (PH64013 at 16.0)
    
    
    -ABENDS0C4 at EQATIMEX+13FC.
    
     ABENDS0C4 occurred when IMS Isolation code tried to deregister
     a transaction that was not registered to the requesting user.
    
     It is possible that the transaction was recently deregistered
     using a different LPAR in the SYSPLEX.
    
     (PH64269 at 16.0)
    
    
    -Can not start up IMS ISO region since 16.0.5 install.
    
     IMS isolation support for shared queues uses UPDATE TRAN
     commands to prepare EQA* transactions for debugging. These
     commands require authorization that existing users of
     transaction isolation normally do not have. The commands also
     may be disallowed by the IMS setup.
     A failure of an UPDATE command prevents the isolation region
     from starting.
    
     (PH64690 at 16.0)
    
    
    -Debug for z/OS: IMS Isolation . Cannot DEQUE TRAN EQATXXXX.
    
     We try to delete a transaction message but it can not be
     found.  The message was placed on a SERIAL=NO queue, but when
     a command is issued later to delete the message, the
     transaction is found to have the SERIAL=YES attribute, so the
     command searches the serial queue.
    
     (PH65365 at 16.0)
    
    
    -IMS isolation fails to properly register a transaction when
     queues are shared.
