In case you get an Abend 0C4/AKEA at offset x"FFFFFFFF" in program IESSOAPE when using the SOAP Client after applying PTF UK35523 (z/VSE 4.1) or UK35522 (z/VSE 3.1) or z/VSE 4.2 GA, you need to change the CSD definitions of programs IESSOAPC and IESSOAPE to EXECKey=CICS. Please see the DFHCSDUP.job. |

For best performance when using VSE Connector Server, you should assemble your $SOCKOPT phase for TCP/IP for VSE with the following option set in the socket option flag: $OPTSNWT. This setting fixes a problem that is known as "Delayed ACK" problem. Please make sure you also have applied ZP15E101 for TCP/IP 1.5E or APAR PK38492. |

Receiving an empty VSE/POWER entry (an entry with 0 pages/lines) fails with a NotFoundException. This failure also causes subsequent requests for VSE/POWER resources to fail with a NotFoundException although these resources exist.
Note: An empty VSE/POWER entry can be created by a program that performs an OPEN on a printer device followed directly by a CLOSE, without writing any output. This will create a LST queue entry that just contains a control record, but no content.
Circumvention:
- Use VSE/POWER option "SET LST0DAT=NO". With "SET LST0DAT=NO" such empty LST output is deleted.
- Use Java method VSEPowerEntry.getNumberOfPagesSpooled() to check for zero pages and skip retrieval of the entry if it is empty.

The LDAP sign-on program IESLDSO holds an exclusive lock (GET for UPDATE) on the LDAP user mapping file while it performs LDAP operations. This can hold of other sign-on attempts, even for non-LDAP users. In error situations, where the LDAP server can not be reached, this can cause to hold the lock for several seconds, until the TCP/IP connect timeout has been reached. |

An AccessDeniedException is thrown by the VSE Connector Client with the detail text "The key fields are not set" when using methods VSEVsamRecord.getNext() or getPrevious() although the key fields are set correctly.
Note: Above update is in the workstation code (Component 5686-CF8-38). Please download from here and reinstall the component on your workstation.

The skeleton SKSOAPOP in ICCF library 59 generates an incorrect phase name for the SOAP option phase. It generates IESLDCFG but should generate IESSOAPO. The incorrect phase name can cause the LDAP configuration phase to be overwritten.
Local Fix: Edit skeleton SKSOAPOP and change the phase name to IESSOAPO manually:
...
// OPTION ERRS,SXREF,SYM,NODECK,CATAL,LISTX
PHASE IESSOAPO,*,SVA
// EXEC ASMA90,....
...
If the skeleton has already been submitted, please delete the IESLDCFG.PHASE from PRD2.CONFIG. If you are using LDAP sign-on support, you must re-generate the LDAP configuration using skeleton SKLDCFG. |

- The LDAP User Mapping Admin Tool IESLDUMA does not allow to generate passwords with special characters such as $, &, @ when using the GENPWD option with the PWDPATTERN keyword. An active SAF Router Exit (ICHRTX00) might require the password to contain special characters to comply corporate security policies.
- The LDAP password hash is not used when none of the LDAP servers can be reached. A longer hash expiration time should be used in such situations to allow the user's to sign on using the stored hash.
- Some LDAP servers are not case sensitive with user IDs and password, but the LDAP user mapping file stores case sensitive LDAP user IDs. An option is missing to uppercase translate the LDAP user ID entered by the user.
Note: Updates for z/VSE V4.2 Administration Manual SC33-8304-02 Chapter 45 are contained in this PTF. Please see problem conclusion in the APAR text for details.

When using VSAM Redirector under CICS, you may receive the following VSAM CLOSE error when you terminate CICS using 'CEMT P SHUT I' and a redirected VSAM file is open at that time:
F8 0008 4228I FILE nnnnn CLOSE ERROR X'B8'(184) CAT=mmmm
(........) REQUEST ERROR: RPLFDBK = X'0C0004'
In this case VSAM will perform an autoclose at End of Task (EOT). VSAM Redirector can not use TCP/IP services at EOT, thus it returns an error when closing the file. |

1 MB data loss with remote Virtual Tapes in case of IDCAMS stacked BACKUP.
Note: Above update is in the workstation code (Component 5686-CF8-38). Please download from here and reinstall the component on your workstation.
Note: You must also install VSE/AF APAR DY46930 / PTF UD53369. |

Pre GA problems in z/VSE 4.2.0:
- Unneeded trace messages appear from IESCVSRV (VSAM-via-CICS).
- When using VSAM Redirector with TCP/IP for VSE 1.5 F you may get the following message on a redirected GET request:
IPN379I Socket Receive dropped from BG reason: Partition start address is inconsistent.
The application that is executing the GET request hangs. Above situation happens if a GET is performed where the user buffer in RPL (addressed by RPLAREA, length in RPLRLEN) is shorter than the maximum record length of the cluster.

Pre GA problems in z/VSE 4.2.0:
- VSE Connector Client:
- When setting a field of a record for an ESDS type VSAM cluster, the method VSEVsamRecord.setField() throws the following exception:
VSEVsamRecord.setField(): The key fields are not set. Use setKeyField first to specify the key. Since an ESDS type VSAM cluster does not have a primary key, it should not be required to specify the key fields.
- BuildAppletZip does not work correctly
- ssl.prop does not contain all cipher suites.
- Keyring.pfx needs to be renewed.
- VSE Script Server:
- VSAM Redirector Server:
- DATATIME Converter enhancements.
Note: Above update is in the workstation code (Component 5686-CF8-38). Please download from here and reinstall the component on your workstation.
