PI96412: CEMT INQ IPCONN COMMAND RETURNS BLANK APPLID FOR A CTG CONNECTION WHEN APPLID IS UNDEFINED IN CTG.INI

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are connecting CICS TS and CTG over IPIC, and in the
  CTG.INI file, you have omitted the APPLID.  You are expecting
  the IPCONN resource to AUTOINSTALL in CICS TS, and it does so
  and connects successfully.
  .
  Displaying the IPCONN via CEMT shows BLANKS for the APPLID
  parameter, although you have applied the PTF for PI43275.
  .
  The fix for PI43275 rectified cases where the APPLID field was
  BLANK by gleaning APPLID information from the 1st CAPEX flow.
  With your current environment, the APPLID has not yet been
  established at the time of the 1st CAPEX, and hence remains
  BLANK when displayed in CEMT.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CEMT INQUIRE IPCONN returns blank       *
  *                      APPLID for an autoinstalled CICS TG     *
  *                      connection when the APPLID is undefined *
  *                      in CTG.INI.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  A CAPEX message is sent from CICS TG into CICS to autoinstall an
  IPIC connection. DFHISCO is linked to handle the acquire
  process. The APPLID is undefined in CICS TG side so an APPLID
  will be generated by CICS. DFHISCO fails to update the correct
  field in  the ISCB with the generated APPLID. This causes a
  blank APPLID to be displayed when issuing command CEMT CICS
  INQUIRE IPCONN.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHISCO has been changed to make sure the APPLID can be properly
  displayed.
