Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  Message DFHCA4865's Explanation assumes a customer has
  SHAROPTIONS(1) defined even though it is not.  In addition,
  the USER RESPONSE implies the problem can be resolved by coding
  SHAREOPTIONS(2) which is also not true. Both SHAREOPTIONS 1 and
  2 only allow one writer (output) access.  Message DFHCA4865
  requires changes in both Explanation and User Response areas.

  ****************************************************************
  A customer was running with a DFHCSD defined with
  SHAREOPTIONS(1) and received message DFHCA4865.
  The definition of the DFHCSD was changed to use SHAREOPTIONS(2)
  but the customer continued to receive message DFHCA4865.
  Message DFHCA4865 is incomplete as it only refers to
  SHAREOPTIONS(1) but not SHAREOPTIONS(2). It also indicates that
  a possible solution is to use SHAREOPTIONS(2) which is
  misleading.

Problem conclusion

• Messages DFHCA4865 and DFHAM4865 have been changed to include
  both SHAREOPTIONS(1) and SHAREOPTIONS(2), and the response has
  been changed to remove its reference to SHAREOPTIONS(2).
  
  The CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V5.2 Messages and Codes
  Vol 1 (GC34-7283-00) has been changed for message DFHCA4865:
  
  Explanation CICS cannot get read access to the CSD file
              because another region is accessing it, and the
              CSD cluster is defined to VSAM with either
              SHAREOPTIONS(1) or SHAREOPTIONS(2).
  
  
  User Response Determine why a second CICS region is attempting
                to write to the CSD.
  
  Message DFHAM4865 will be changed:
  
  Explanation The system initialization table (SIT) used for CICS
              initialization contains a GRPLIST parameter.
              However, CICS cannot get read access to the CSD
              file because another region is accessing it, and
              the CSD cluster is defined to VSAM with either
              SHAREOPTIONS(1) or SHAREOPTIONS(2).
  
  User Response Determine why a second CICS region is attempting
                to write to the CSD.
