PK15747: URIMAPS THAT HAVE A GENERIC HFSFILE SPECIFIED ARE NOT SAVED ON CATALOG ON WARM START.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The generic Hfsfile name that gets written to the catalog
  no longer has the asterisk on the end.
  When the resource is read in on a warm start there
  isn't an asterisk so the URIMAP is not flagged as generic.
  This causes the 404 Not Found to be issued when CICS
  generates an automatic redirect to index.html in the
  directory named in the URIMAP.

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A URIMAP definition is created which contains an HFSFILE name
  in order to deliver a static response. The name contains a
  trailing asterisk wildcard character. This signals to CICS
  that path matching is to take place and the HFSFILE name is
  generated dynamically to match part of the PATH component of
  the URI which the URIMAP applies to.
  HFSFILE names are generated correctly until CICS is restarted
  with a WARM or EMERGENCY restart. The trailing asterisk wildcard
  character is lost across a CICS restart and the HFSFILE is no
  longer treated as a generic name. This leads to HTTP 404 Not
  Found errors.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHWBRP has been changed to ensure that any asterisk wildcard
  character at the end of a URIMAP HFSFILE option is recorded
  on the catalog.
