PI99474: Overlength exception trace entry when using SSL and SO level 2 trace is active

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are trying to diagnose a problem and in the CICS trace you
  find entries that look similar to the following:
  .
  TR 0101 TRPT  *EXC* - OVERLENGTH-ENTRY :
                CALLING DOMAIN WAS SO :
                PARAMETER LIST WAS FUNCTION(TRACE_PUT)
                POINT_ID(818)
                DATA1(00000050_41D00000 , 00000000_000096D1)
  
  
  .
  The second value in the DATA1 parm is larger than 4096 decimal
  bytes, which is the most that CICS can trace in a single trace
  entry. This amount of data needs to be split into multiple
  trace entries, not a single one.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Overlength exception trace entry when   *
  *                      using SSL and SO level 2 trace is       *
  *                      active.                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  CICS is sending a large amount of data using a socket with SSL.
  If SO level 2 tracing is active then DFHSOSE will trace out the
  data in a single SO 0818 trace entry.  If the data is greater
  than 4k then an overlength exception trace entry will be made
  instead.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHSOSE has been changed to use repeated SO 0818 entries to
  trace out the entire buffer of data being sent.
