Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The CICSPlex SM Web User interface issues an MVS DYNALLOC macro

  dynamically allocates an import data set. This change adds a new
  message to give details of the MVS return codes if the DYNALLOC
  request fails.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A request to import Web User Interface  *
  *                      (WUI) data repository definitions from  *
  *                      a data set, using the EYUWUI            *
  *                      AUTOIMPORTDSN option or the COVC        *
  *                      transaction, may fail and return        *
  *                      message EYUVS1060E or EYUVS1069E.       *
  *                                                              *
  *                      EYUVS1060E is issued when the import    *
  *                      fails to open the data set.             *
  *                      EYUVS1069E is issued when the import    *
  *                      fails to find the data set.             *
  *                                                              *
  *                      These messages are issued when an       *
  *                      MVS DYNALLOC request fails but          *
  *                      neither of them gives details of the    *
  *                      DYNALLOC return codes which are         *
  *                      useful for resolving the problem.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
  *                 APAR, all Web User Interface servers must be *
  *                 recycled to pick up the new code.  Note that *
  *                 the restarts do not need to be done at the   *
  *                 same time.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  The WUI server did not report the error codes returned if an MVS
  DYNALLOC request failed while importing WUI data repository
  definitions from a data set.
  

Problem conclusion

• A new message, EYUVS1071E, has been added to give details of the
  MVS DYNALLOC error codes when the macro request fails.
  
  The WUI help information for this message is added by PK48732.
  
  The CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Version 3 Release 2
  CICSPlex SM Messages (GC34-6851-00), will be updated as
  follows:
  
  EYUVS1071E Dynamic allocation of data set ( dsname ) failed.
  Return codes X'rrrr', X'cccc', X'dddd'.
  
  Explanation
  While importing Web User Interface views or menus, an attempt to
  dynamically allocate data set dsname has failed. The DYNALLOC
  macro failed with return code rrrr. cccc is the SVC 99 error
  reason code, and dddd is the additional SVC 99 error information
  code.
  
  System action
  Import processing is terminated.
  
  User response
  For the meaning of the DYNALLOC return codes, see the z/OS MVS
  Authorized Assembler Services Guide.
