APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Many error scenarios that result in a DFHPI0997 message being
    issued when processing an SCA local component wrongly say "The
    CICS pipeline manager has encountered an error: unidentified
    problem". This APAR fixes the code that issues the message so
    that a wider variety of explanatory message inserts are used by
    CICS.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: "DFHPI0997 The CICS pipeline manager    *
    *                      has encountered an error:               *
    *                      unidentified problem."                  *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Use of SCA composites in CICS can result in DFHPI0997
    messages being issued by CICS with a message insert of
    'unidentified problem' in circumstances when a more
    meaningful error description is available for inclusion
    in the message.
    Additional keywords:  msgDFHPI0997 PI0997
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHPIPM and DFHPIPM2 have been altered to increase the
    range of meaningful error descriptions for inclusion in
    the DFHPI0997 message when SCA composites are used.
