Fix list for CICS Transaction Server for z/OS 6.3

Preventive Service Planning


Abstract

This document contains a table of APARs for CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) V6.3. A comma separated values (CSV) file containing all the fields for each APAR is also included as an attachment. You can use the CSV file to import the list of APARs into a spreadsheet or database for sorting or downloading.

Content

IBM updates this Fix list at the beginning of each month if there is a change to the APARs for this product. The fix list will include any superseding PTFs in addition to the PTFs that became available when the APAR was closed. The fix list is available in two formats:


See List of APARs migrated to CICS Transaction Server 6.3 if you need the list of APARs from an earlier release of CICS TS that were included in the base code of CICS TS 6.3.

Click on the Fixes by version document to see Fix lists for other version, release, and modification (VRM) levels of currently supported CICS products including the CICS Explorer and CICS REXX.

 

Fix list  
Open APARs are at the top of the Fix list table followed by closed APARs, ordered by close date. 

Click on an APAR number in the Fix list table to display the APAR. You will need to enter your IBM ID and password when displaying open APARs. See Ordering CICS products and maintenance for the options that are available to order CICS PTF(s).  

The security and integrity APARs for all IBM products including CICS TS and the CICS Tools that run on z/OS are ONLY included System z Security Portal. See Finding security and integrity APARs for System z products like CICS TS for more information.  

See Fix lists for the CICS Explorer and CICS REXX if interested in APARs for these products. The APARs for these products are not included in this Fix list. APARs for CICS Dynamic Scripting and the CICS Service Flow Feature (SFF) are included in this fix list.
