PI41584: APPLICATION GETS EIBRESP=INVREQ RESP2=200 ON EXEC CICS START TERMID AFTER MIGRATING FROM CICS 3.1.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are migrating from CICS 3.1 to a new release of CICS and
  your application now gets a RESP2=200 on an EXEC CICS START
  TERMID command.
  CICS 3.2 introduced a change which disallowed a START
  TERMID(eibtrmid) from a DPL program in the environment where
  eibtrmid=termid of the inter-system session.
  The problem arises if an application is issuing EXEC CICS START
  for an APPC single session surrogate terminal id. In this case,
  CICS v3.1 uses the connection name instead of the session id
  but the check on EIBTRMID, which was introduced in CICS 3.2
  finds the session id and rejects the START as being invalid.

  ****************************************************************
  An EXEC CICS START TERMID request is not allowed to be issued
  from a DPL program if the TERMID is for the inter-system
  session. A RESP of INVREQ with RESP2=200 is returned in this
  case.
  When an EXEC CICS START TERMID request is issued for an
  APPC single session surrogate TERMID, CICS uses the
  connection name instead of the session. Although a connection
  is being used, rather than a session, the request fails
  when issued from a DPL program.

Problem conclusion

• CICS is changed to allow an EXEC CICS START TERMID command from
  a DPL program when the TERMID is an APPC single session
  surrogate.
