UK21960 - 81C STARTING MORE THAN 8 IUI CONSOLES RESULTS IN A HANG.
Due to the fact that MXT was set to 20 which is pretty low, only 8 IUI consoles could be started in parallel. The MXT value is specified as an overwrite in the startup job.
NCP dialogs rework.
CI size in SKVTAPE was specified for for data part only, should be for the whole cluster.

If a PAUSE is set to a value above 59 on an IUI console and if console is put to HOLD, an AEIP abend (INVREQ) occurs. The abend occurs because the timer transaction IECT is started with the specified value of PAUSE as INTERVAL. The syntax for INTERVAL is however hhmmss, so 60 seconds have to be entered as 100.

UK19662 - 81C SECURITY SETUP FOR REPORT CONTROL FEATURE IS INCOMPLETE.
The security definitions for the RCF facilities are correct in skeleton SKRCFSEC, however, GROUP1 should get PERMITS to access.
SKRCFSEC needs to run in order to allow access to RCF printers and reports. With CICS APAR PK11491 installed, a security check will be made (with z/VSE 3.1.1 or later) on all RCF operations like CEOS, CEMS or also EXEC CICS SPOOLOPEN.
This is regardless if the new security concept is used or not. The check will fail unless the RCF facilities are not defined and the related users/groups have access. This is done with skeleton SKRCFSEC.

PK21715
2006/03/24
UK12887 - 81C USER TRANSACTION DOES NOT WORK IF INVOKED BY REXX.
USER transaction does not work if invoked by REXX. IESDUSR only allows console id CNSL and m4lg, this should be extended to also allow console id REXX.
If transaction USER is issued from a REXX procedure by 'MSG xx,DATA=USER' command, there is no output received by the procedure. This is due to the fact, that the transaction checks for the console id. It will only work in case the console id is 'CNSL' or 'm4lg'. It also should allow 'REXX'.
In the procedure the console name used should be REXX: ACTIVATE NAME REXX PROFILE REXNOR

    • Files (FCT)
    • Journals (JCT)
    • Programs (PPT)
    • RCF authorized printers (TCT)
    • Temporary Storage (TST)
    This is done by skeleton SKRSLX2.
  2. Migration of resources defined in FCT, PCT, DCT, JCT, PCT, PPT or TST souces can be done using skleton SKRSLXS.
  3. Migration of resources defined in DFHCSDUP format can be done using sleleton SKRSLX3.
  4. Report of User Profile Maintenance has been enhanced to show the expiration date and the revoke date.

UK00699 - 81C DISPLAY ACTIVE USER LIST INCORRECT AFTER NODE ERROR (DFHZNAC)

Terminating the Display Active Users dialog using the emulation disconnect function (via node error program), after signing on again, all users are displayed twice.
This is due to the fact that the recovery function of IESDUSR works with the terminal id retrieved from the EIB, the EIB however is already cleared.
1. Using a zero terminal id leads to the fact that TS storage does not get freed after a terminal error (DFHZNAC).
More over, if CSNE is defined with TASKDATALOC(ANY), recovery processing for IUI fails with abend AEZC, thus main purpose of the recovery process like freeing allocated storage does not take place.
2. Some CICS Listener Definition Panels (Transaction EZAC) do not correctly display the port number defined for a CICS Listener, if this port number is greater than 32768 (instead of the correct port number, a number smaller than 32768 is displayed).
The same problem exists for the EZACIC02 listener (transaction EZAL) when issueing EZY messages that include port numbers in their text.
1. In following routines, the recovery process was changed:
IESBQUR Batch Queue Maintenance
IESDUSR Display Active Users
IESIMSG Retrieve Message from ICCF
IESLQDP Display Message Log
IESNEWS Maintain News Record
IESVTOCR Display VTOC
IESXSYN Maintain Synonym Table
INWMPRIN Print HTF Member
INWMRXS1 HTF fulist
INWMRXS5 Move file HTF to ICCF
INWMSHAR HTF share a file
2. Ensure display of correct port numbers.
