Error description

  • A CISS Task is started for an IPCONN acquire and the following
    messages are issued.
    
    DFHWB0002 APPLID A severe error (code X'FF67') has occurred in
    module DFHWBQM.
    
    followed by
    
    DFHWB0002 APPLID A severe error (code X'0326')
    has occurred in module DFHWBAP.
    
    The following Trace Point is issued.
    
    FF67 WBQM  *EXC* - CONTAINER_ERROR FUNCTION(GET_CONTAINER)
                       RESPONSE(EXCEPTION)
                       REASON(CONTAINER_ERROR)
                       RECORD_BUFFER(2215C500 , 00000000 , 000000D5)

    *RVER_HDR_IN   ..                *
    
    This is caused by the zAPM Connect start of task TRUE (module
    AGMPINIT) issuing an EXEC CICS WEB READ HTTPHEADER command to
    obtain the ARM-CORRELATOR header.  The WEB READ HTTPHEADER
    command should have returned an INVREQ response to say the
    command was issued from a non-web task.

    ****************************************************************
    When issuing an Acquire for an IPConnection and you have a
    Start of Task TRUE active it is possible to receive a severe
    error in module DFHWBQM followed by one in DFHWBAP.
    To get this problem the TRUE needs to be issuing an EXEC CICS
    WEB READ HTTPHEADER command. When the IPCONN is being Acquired
    CICS will attach the CISS transaction, this will drive the TRUE.
    The WEB READ HTTPHEADER command will assume this is a normal web
    task and attempt to access the SERVER_HDR_IN container. This
    fails because CISS is an IPIC related task and does not have a
    Web Request Block (WRB).

Problem conclusion

  • The EXEC CICS WEB API (server) commands have been updated to
    ensure that an INVREQ with RESP2=1 is returned when these
    commands are issued within the CISS task.
