Error description
You recycle your regions, bringing the MP CMAS down last, but the TOR fails to join the workload. You receive the following message in your CMAS: EYUWM0401E Workload type (name) failed to install for context (plexname) - direction initiated by join of TOR The workload build files when XCLA returns XCLA_STATUS = 02 (XCLA_DUPLICATE_KEY) to WMTJ. The trace shows the following entries: task# WMTJ WMWC WMWC WLM EXCP. 8 WMTJXCLA task# WMWC XLOP WMWC WLM EXCP. 17 WMWCWMTJ where WMWC exception 17 means 'WLM TOR Join failed' WMTJ exception 8 means 'Add entry to cache list error' The workload build is failing because CPSM thinks that the TOR which we are building the workload has two IP connections with the same name.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlex SM V4R1M0 Users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If an IP connection with a name that * * has a length greater than four * * characters is installed into a CPSM * * routing region, various errors may * * occur: * * * * - if the connection is installed * * before the routing region connects * * to its CMAS, then the TOR join * * processing may fail. * * * * If this failure occurs and the * * routing region in question is the * * first started under that CMAS for * * the specific workload, then the * * workload build process will also * * fail, and the following message will * * be issued: * * * * EYUWM0401E Workload Specification * * (<wlmspec>) failed to install for * * context(<plexname>) - initiated by * * join of router (<torname>). * * * * - if the connection is installed after * * the routing region connects to its * * CMAS, and the first four characters * * of the IP connection match the first * * four characters of an existing * * connection, then the existing * * connection element may be modified * * invalidly. This can result in * * invalid routing. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this * * APAR, all CMASes must be restarted. Note * * that the restarts do not need to occur at * * the same time. * **************************************************************** When a TOR join occurs for a CPSM routing region, method EYU0WMTJ (WMTJ) builds a list that contains an element for each connection installed in the routing region. If after the TOR join completes, a connection is installed, method EYU0WMEV (WMEV) is notified of the install, and calls method EYU0WMTU (WMTU) to update the list for the routing region. Since CPSM WLM is only concerned with links between the routing region and other CICS regions, the list only allows for a four character connection name. If the connection name is greater than four characters, for example, if it is an IP connection to a CTG region, then WMTJ and WMEV will truncate the name to the first four characters. If this truncated name clashes with an existing element in the list, the errors described above may occur.
Problem conclusion
Since all connections between CICS systems, regardless of whether they are MRO, LU62 or IP, cannot have a name greater than four characters, WMTJ and WMEV have been updated to ignore any connection that has a name greater than four characters when building (WMTJ) or updating (WMEV) the connection list for a CPSM routing region.
