Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You have RACF definitions that contain upper and lower
  case definitions. When extracting the definition from
  RACF to create the esm YAML file, it correctly contains
  the lower case definitions.
  
  When this YAML file is used in the REXX exec DFH$XSR everything
  is converted to upper case.  None of the resource definitions
  are in lower case.
  
  
  Additional symptoms: KIXREVDAM

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users with PTF UO07106, UO07105     *
  *                 or UO07104 applied.                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: RACF definitions from security metadata *
  *                      are all uppercased during DFH$XSR       *
  *                      output.                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  DFH$SM2R is run to convert security metadata to RACF command
  outputs using DFH$XSR. If the security metadata input contains
  any RACF definitions which contain lowercase characters, these
  are incorrectly folded to uppercase in the output.
  

Problem conclusion

• UO07106, UO07105, UO07104
  
  CICS has been updated to ensure DFH$XSR preserves mixed-case and
  lowercase RACF definitions correctly.
