Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of IBM Z NetView Continuous            *
  *                 Availability V6R5 that enable the            *
  *                 ACTIVEACTIVE LIFELINE tower, where events    *
  *                 may be received in the GDPS Continuous       *
  *                 Availability solution.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: For each event (alert) processed by     *
  *                      the replication event processing task,  *
  *                      for example, AUTOAEVT in sample         *
  *                      CNMSTLIF, there is storage obtained     *
  *                      but not freed.                          *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Event (alert) processing module AQNEPEVT     *
  *                 calls service routines, DSIMSUSY and         *
  *                 DSIMSUPS, to parse an event and return       *
  *                 information for it. DSIMSUSY obtains a       *
  *                 piece of storage that it is the caller's     *
  *                 responsibility to free, but AQNEPEVT does    *
  *                 not free the storage.  Subsequent            *
  *                 invocations of AQNEPEVT can, therefore,      *
  *                 eventually lead to an out of storage         *
  *                 condition.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  AQNEPEVT is being modified to free the storage that routine
  DSIMSUSY returned to it.
  

Problem conclusion

• AQNEPEVT is being modified to free the storage that routine
  DSIMSUSY returned to it.
