PI21971: CICS ISSUES CATALOG DELETE FOR BUNDLE DEFINED PROGRAM

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a bundle containing a program is discarded it issues a
  delete request to the catalog to remove that program. This is
  incorrect as programs defined in bundles are not cataloged.
  From CICS TS V5.2, this can result in the wrong program
  definition being deleted from the catalog where a public
  and private program have the same name.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Program not found after CICS region     *

  ****************************************************************
  A CICS Application is installed. This Application includes a
  bundle which defines a public program (PROGA), and a private
  program (PROGB). PROGB is also the name of a public program.
  .
  The CICS Application resource is then discarded. This issues a
  DFHPGDD DELETE_PROGRAM call for both PROGA and PROGB. This
  processing issues a DFHCCCC DELETE call for PROGB, and causes
  the entry for PROGB to be removed from the catalog. This is not
  correct as private programs defined in bundles are not
  cataloged.
  Following a WARM or EMERGENCY restart, the public program PROGB
  is no longer available. CEMT I PROG(PROGB) produces NOT FOUND.

Problem conclusion

• DFHLDLD and DFHPGDD have been updated so that DFHCCCC DELETE is
  not called for private programs.
