PK18671: REQUEST TO CHANGE CICS MESSAGES DFHPG0202/3 AND DFHPG0211 TO BE ROUTED TO THE CONSOLE AS WTO MESSAGES.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• CICS messages DFHPG0202/3 and DFHPG0211 should be WTO messages
  sent to the Console.
  The messages in question are of sufficient severity that they
  should be routed to the CICS console log in the first place
  because when the program autoinstall exit becomes disabled
  your business service can be  severely impacted and  delays in
  restoring it cannot be tolerated.

  Program Domain issues a variety of messages to the CSPL
  transient data queue in the event of program autoinstall
  operations. For certain events, where an abend or failure
  has occurred within the autoinstall exit, or if the
  autoinstall model is disabled, the diagnostic information
  is important enough to be sent to the console as well.

Problem conclusion

• The Message Domain message files for Program Domain have been
  altered to define DFHPG0202, DFHPG0203 and DFHPG0211 as
  dual-directional messages.
    The CICS TS V3.1 Messages and Codes manual (GC34-6442-01)
  will be updated. Messages DFHPG0202, DFHPG0203 and DFHPG0211
  will be changed to show a destination of:
  Console and Transient Data Queue CSPL.
