Error description
You are using DFHWBCLI in CICS TS 3.1 and DFHWBCLI is not sending out the query string in the resource name. For example, if you have the following url: http://someplace.something.com/path1/path1b/12345?cc=*&unit=s DFHWBCLI is not sending out the query string cc=*&unit=s portion of the URL. In previous releases of CICS, DFHWBCLI did send the query string. The PARSE URL function of DFHWBCLI parses the QUERY_STRING out of the PATH, so that the query string is no longer part of the PATH in CICS TS 3.1. The problem is the following DFHWBCL WRITE_REQUEST has logic to process QUERY_STRING but this is never actually passed on the call.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Query String is not being sent when * * using DFHWBLCI to provide an outbound * * HTTP request. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An application invokes an EXEC CICS LINK command to DFHWBCLI to provide an outbound HTTP request that contains query string data. After the HTTP data has been parsed the query string is addressed as a separate item and is subsequently not being passed to the WRITE_REQUEST routine which builds the outbound data. This outbound data is then passed to TCPIP without the query string. Additional Keywords: QUERY_STRING QUERYSTRING
Problem conclusion
DFHWBCLI has been changed so that if QUERY_STRING data exists its address will now be passed on the WRITE_REQUEST call.
