Error description

• MSGDFHPI0001 An abend (code 0C4/AKEA) has occurred at offset
  X'5226' in DFHPIPL when <terminal_handler> is missing from the
  header file.
  Our customer was able to insert the <terminal_handler> statement
  in the file and did not error. Our customer believes a dump and
  outage is too drastic and a message would be more appropriate
  in this scenario.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend 0C4 in DFHPIPL at offset X'5226'  *
  *                      when installing a provider PIPELINE     *
  *                      if the xml file does not contain a      *
  *                      <terminal_handler> tag.                 *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When a PIPELINE definition for a service provider is installed,
  the xml configuration file is parsed. The <terminal_handler> tag
  is a required tag for a provider pipeline, but if it is missing,
  DFHPIPL will continue scanning past the end of the data. This
  eventually results in an abend 0C4.

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIPL has been changed to detect that the <terminal_handler>
  tag is missing, from an otherwise valid xml configuration file,
  and produce message DFHPI0720.
