PI39741: WHEN AFFINITY IS DEFINED WITH RELATIONSHIP 'LUNAME' AND LIFETIME 'LOGON' IT IS NOT DELETED AT TERMINAL LOGOFF TIME.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer defines a CPSM WLM transaction group (TRANGRP) with
  Affinity relationship: Luname
   Affinity lifetime    : Logon
  When he starts a transaction defined in this transaction group,
  the affinty is created and he expects that the affinity will be
  deleted at terminal logoff time, but this does not appear.
  The affinity still persists.

  ****************************************************************
  UI19749 was written to address a problem with transaction
  classification when LUNAME is specified as the transaction group
  primary search criterion.  Prior to this PTF, if the WLMDEF
  Terminal LU name pattern included a fully qualified LU name,
  "node.luname", CPSM WLM would not match correctly, since CPSM
  did not include the node for the terminal user in the luname, it
  just used ".luname".  With the PTF, the fully qualified luname
  is used.  The use of the fully qualified luname name resolved
  the problem with transaction classification.
  
  Affinity processing was not properly considered when UI19749 was
  written.  When the transaction group specifies an affinity
  relationship of "LUNAME" and an affinity lifetime of "LOGON",
  the luname is used to build the key for the affinity when it is
  created.  This key is used both during route selection to see if
  the terminal already has an existing affinity, and at logoff
  time to determine if there are affinities for the terminal that
  should be deleted.  While the change to use the fully qualified
  luname works correctly at route selection time, it does not work
  correctly at logoff time, as the luname used at logoff time is
  not the fully qualified version, just the luname.  As a result,
  when the terminal is logged off, the affinity is not deleted.
  

Problem conclusion

• Method EYU0WDIN (WDIN) has been updated to continue to use the
  fully qualified luname ("node.luname") for transaction
  classification, and to use the non-fully qualified luname
  ("luname") for affinity processing.
