FILE TRIGGER IS UNEXPECTEDLY ACTIVATED BY FAILOVER

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

File triggers that have unsatisfied predecessors are wrongly activated

in the case that an agent with a defined FAILOVER parameter takes over the

workload.

This fix keeps the file trigger waiting until the predecessors are

satisfied.

SYMPTOMS:

File triggers are activated even though the predecessors were not

satisfied.

IMPACT:

Unexpected file trigger activation during agent failover.

CIRCUMVENTION:

Temporarily omit the FAILOVER parameter in the agent definition.

LCSF RETURNING INVALID CONDS

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

A job scoreboard entry may stay in application wait and/or application

hold status. It happens when an application is terminated, for example

through the APPLJOB ALL TERMINATE command or TA line command in CSF

while the application is in a on hold and/or wait status. This fix

ensures that the job scoreboard is properly updated for application

termination request.

SYMPTOMS:

"LCSF (APPLHOLD) AND (COMPLETE)" command returns wrong values for the

applications which were on hold and terminated.

IMPACT:

LCSF command may display wrong entries but the ESP inner processing is

not affected. Only the scoreboard may be incorrectly updated.

CIRCUMVENTION:

None.

LJS COMMAND SHOWS WRONG RUN TIME

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

The elapsed time of a job run can be wrongly computed for quick

running distributed workload objects. The LJS command will show

meaningless value 75059993.8 for MINS_EXEC. It is an overflow

problem corrected by this fix.

SYMPTOMS:

LJS command displays too high a value for MINS_EXEC.

IMPACT:

Wrong value displayed by LJS command.

JOBS STUCK IN JOBANCWAIT

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

A job in an application with the keyword JOB_ANCESTOR_WAIT(ANY) may remain

in JANCWAIT status although previous runs of the same job have completed.

It can happen for the following time-sorted scenario:

1.Same jobs in 2 or more immediately previous application generations are

forced complete.

2.There is still at least active job of the same name in a previous

application generation.

3.A new application generation with the same job is triggered and

the keyword JOB_ANCESTOR_WAIT(ANY) used.

4. All jobs as #2 are completed.

The fix corrects the ESP ancestor wait behavior.

SYMPTOMS:

A job in an application with defined the keyword JOB_ANCESTOR_WAIT(ANY) is

not released from ancestor wait status though all conditions were satisfied.

IMPACT:

A job incorrectly remains in ancestor wait status.

CIRCUMVENTION:

NONE

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

End time field of a bypassed job in the Workstation Director

incorrectly displays subscribe time value instead of the actual job

bypass time. After applying the fix, the Workstation Director

correctly displays the actual job bypass time value in the End time

field of the bypassed job.

SYMPTOMS:

End time field in the Workstation incorrectly displays a subscribe time

value of a bypassed job.

IMPACT:

Completion time of a bypassed job is not displayed in the End time field in

the Workstation.

FAILOVER JOURNALING SYNCHRONIZATION

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

1. The failover cloning process may be time consuming due to large ESP

operational data sets. As a result, the primary proxy subsystem may

start journal transmission before its primary master finishes cloned

data sets transmission. This may cause a contention on the secondary

sysplex ESP operational files.

2. The JOURNAL TAKEOVER command does not cause an actual switch to the

secondary sysplex. It only sets internal flags and issues an

appropriate message, and takeover is postponed until all primary

subsystems go down. User intervention or automation is required to shut

all the primary subsystems down. With this fix applied, performing shutdown

of all the primary subsystem by the JOURNAL TAKEOVER command decreases the

risk of unsynchronized shutdown due to automation dysfunction or human error.

SYMPTOMS:

1. Contention on ESP operational files.

2. Takeover delay.

IMPACT:

1. Failover session fails.

2. Critical takeover delay.

CIRCUMVENTION:

None.

***************************

THE START A PLANNED TAKEOVER OF WORKLOAD PROCEDURE HAS CHANGED.

After issuing the JOURNAL TAKEOVER command, no user intervention or

automation is required to shut down all the primary subsystems anymore.

Step 2 of this procedure now describes that the JOURNAL TAKEOVER

command stops all the primary subsystems automatically.

DESELECTION CAPABILITY FOR RERUN MULTIPLE

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

This enhancement enables users of the RERUNM command and of the RM CSF

line command to exclude a job from a rerun multiple request by placing

a minus sign before the job name in the list of root jobs.

Examples:

-RERUNM APPL(MYAPP.3) ROOTJOBS(-.-,-JOBA,-JOBD) SIMULATE

requests simulation of a rerun multiple of all jobs in an

application, but excludes JOBA and JOBD.

-RERUNM APPL(MYAPP.3) ROOTJOBS(-.-,-JOB-.-) SIMULATE

requests simulation of a rerun multiple of all jobs in an

application, but excludes jobs whose name begins with JOB.

-RERUNM APPL(MYAPP.3) ROOTJOBS(JOBA+,-JOBC+) SIMULATE

requests simulation of a rerun multiple of all jobs in an

application whose first job is JOBA, but JOBC and its successors

are excluded.

In the case of the RM CSF line command, the format of the root jobs

list on the "Rerun jobs" panel is identical to the syntax of the

ROOTJOBS operand of the RERUNM command. If a job list data set is

used to specify root jobs, a minus sign prefixed to a job name excludes

the job, for example, a job list data set that contains

(-.- -JOBA -JOBD)

requests a rerun multiple of all jobs in an application, but excludes

JOBA and JOBD.

SYMPTOMS:

None.

IMPACT:

None.

CIRCUMVENTION:

None.

IF-THEN-ELSE-DO-ENDDO LOGIC CORRECTION

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

This fix corrects various bugs related to

processing of IF,THEN,ELSE,DO,ENDDO constructs:

- When a symbolic variable is not defined in a

procedure, ESP rightfully issues 13E error

message. However, when this symbolic variable is

used in the logical expression of an IF statement,

then ESP may also issue spurious 21E and 322E

error messages.

- A symbolic variable defined and used inside a JOB

scope, in the logical expression of an IF statement,

is not recognized by ESP as defined. Note that this

happens only in the processing mode and only when

another job is being processed. As a result ESP

generates spurious 13E error message, as well as

possible spurious 21E and 322E messages.

- When a symbolic variable is not defined in ESP

procedure, but it is used in the false branch of

IF statement, no error messages are supposed to be

generated. This works as expected under THEN false

branch. However, in case of ELSE false branch, ESP

issues 13E and 21E spurious error messages.

- Some ESP statements, like ECHO, following an INVOKE

statement may not be executed by ESP. This happens

when invoked procedure contains a DO statement, but

closing ENDDO is missing.

- When jumping inside correctly defined

IF-THEN-ELSE-DO-ENDDO constructs (JUMPTO command),

ESP may generated spurious 322E error messages.

Note, this happens only when usermod 190 is on.

- When EXIT statement is coded inside DO/ENDDO block,

ESP may issue spurious 26E error message.

Note, this happens only when usermod 190 is on.

- When a nested IF-THEN-ELSE construct is immediately

followed by another IF statement (not necessarily

nested), this second IF may be ignored by ESP

(both true and false branches are skipped).

The following messages have been added and/or

modified:

26E - Missing <N> ENDDO statement(s)

702E - More than 65535 nested DO statements,

DO ignored

2813W - DO statement extraneous information ignored

21E - ELSE statement is out of sequence, ignored

22E - No THEN statement found

23E - Invalid logical expression

SYMPTOMS:

ESP does not recognize correct IF,THEN,ELSE,DO,ENDDO constructs

and issues error messages.

ESP does not issue error messages for some incorrectly coded

IF,THEN,ELSE,DO,ENDDO constructs.

IMPACT:

Application not generated

This APAR fixes multiple complex bugs

as well as it changes many ESP messages.

CA advises to carefully test this APAR

in your test environment before promoting

it to production.

CA also advises using USERMOD 190 to check

your existing and new applications.

Usermod 190 allows to avoid potential bugs

in processing of ESP applications.

Here's brief description of usermod 190:

- Ensures integrity of JOB/ENDJOB pairs

- Ensures integrity of DO/ENDDO pairs

- Enforces correct syntax of character

strings that are assigned to or compared

with INTEGER variables.

Code BYPASS(HOLDSYS) on your APPLY/ACCEPT

statement to bypass this hold.

EVENT OWNER OPTION DISAPPEAR

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

ESP removes the OWNER(userid) parameter of the EVENT command by mistake.

This is done in the case that the user who edits the event is the same

user as specified in the OWNER(userid) parameter.

This fix assures that the OWNER(userid) parameter of the EVENT command

is not removed in this situation.

SYMPTOMS:

The OWNER(userid) parameter of the EVENT command is unintentionally removed.

IMPACT:

Loss of the OWNER(userid) parameter in the event definition.

The loss of this parameter can cause the unintentional change of the owner

of the event to the last user who edited the event.

ESP ABEND U2903 IN SUBSTITUTION OF SYMBOLIC VARIABLES

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

ESP may intermittently abend with code U2903 when processing substitution

of symbolic variables. The following example illustrates the conditions for

this abend.

1. ESP simulates or triggers/schedules an event that invokes a procedure with

the following command

ESP LJ %MNJOB(%MNJOBNO) STEPS

2. The value of %MNJOBNO has to be close to 32767. In this example, the abend

occurs if %MNJOBNO is between 32751 and 32767.

ESP treats this expression as a substring notation format instead of passing

a job number to the LJ command, which leads to the abend.

SYMPTOMS:

ESP abend U2903.

IMPACT:

ESP outage.

CIRCUMVENTION:

ESP LJ %MNJOB.(%MNJOBNO) STEPS

Note a period between %MNJOB and (%MNJOBNO).

NEW AUDITLOG PARAMETER TO SET OUTPUT DESTINATION

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

The AUDITLOG initparm statement will accept a new parameter, DEST, to

specify the destination of the log.

AUDITLOG ... DEST(nnn)

nnn is the destination name for use by JES in routing of the output.

The name, up to 8 characters, has the same format and meaning as in

the DEST parameter in JCL.

The parameter is optional.

Once the auditlog sysout file is deallocated, for example by a SPINLOG

command, JES will send the file to the specified destination.

WOBTRIG STATUS IS NOT POPULATED CORRECTLY IN WORKSTATION

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

Events with wobtrigs always show 'WOBTRIG IN PREPARATION' in Workstation.

In ESP the correct status is shown "failed" or "Monitored for UPDATE" for

example. This is due to the LIST LEVEL(-.-) command, and the

LIST LEVEL(-.-) VERBOSE command giving different output for events with

wobtrigs. LIST LEVEL(-.-) command always shows 'WOBTRIG IN PREPARATION'.

SYMPTOMS:

Events with wobtrigs always show 'WOBTRIG IN PREPARATION' in Workstation.

IMPACT:

User cannot determine the correct status of WOBDEF on the workstation.

CIRCUMVENTION:

Check correct status in ESP by issuing LIST LEVEL(-.-) VERBOSE command or

by looking at E.3 option (a list of events) in ISPF interface.
