PK34972: UNIQUE NAMSPACE NAME GENERATION IS NOT AS UNIQUE AS PREFERRED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Code, within DFHLS2WS to generate unique namespace names for
  Request and Response Pipelines, does not generate a namspace
  name as unique as one would expect. If REQMEM and RESPMEM are
  coded with unique information (e.g. REQMEM=REQUEST and
  RESPMEM=RESPONSE), the 'unique' variable is filled in with:
  
  1) the REQMEM if not empty
  2) then the RESPMEM if not empty
  3) is empty otherwise
  .
  Thus generating www.MYPROG.REQUEST.Request (for request
  namespace) and
  www.MYPROG.REQUEST.Response  (for response namespace).
  It is prefered that the response namespace be generated more
  like  www.MYPROG.RESPONSE.Response.

  DFHLS2WS uses a combination of program name and REQMEM and
  RESPMEM parameters to generate unique request and response
  namespaces in the generated WSDL document.  However, it is not
  possible to override the namespace generated by DFHLS2WS.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHLS2WS has been updated to provide two new parameters,
  REQUEST-NAMESPACE and RESPONSE-NAMESPACE to allow users to
  be able to specify their own namespace values. This
  overrides the namespaces generated from REQMEM or RESPMEM.
  
  The CICS Web Services Guide, Version 3, Release 1:
  (SRL: SC34-6458-04) will be updated as follows:
  
  In Chapter 7 - The CICS Web services assistant, under
  the sub-heading 'DFHLS2WS: high level language to WSDL
  conversion':
  Under the title 'Input parameters for DFHLS2WS' the syntax
  diagram needs to be updated to add the following 2 new optional
  parameters: REQUEST-NAMESPACE=value and
  RESPONSE-NAMESPACE=value.
  
  Under the 'Parameter Descriptions' title following the syntax
  diagram add the two new parameters followed by their
  descriptions as below:
  
  REQUEST-NAMESPACE=value
  Optional. Allows the namespace in the request structure of the
  generated WSDL to be specified. If omitted, a request namespace
  is generated by CICS automatically.
  
  RESPONSE-NAMESPACE=value
  Optional. Allows the namespace in the response structure of the
  generated WSDL to be specified. If omitted, a response
  namespace is generated by CICS automatically.
