PK95278: SCA BINDING PROBLEMS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Various problems using
  - A CICS mapped binding can go outbound when the EXEC CICS
  INVOKE call sets a URI.
  - The maxCommareaLength from the SCDL is not used.
  - The PIPELINE used on a Reference is not overridden by fields
  set in a promoted reference.

  Various problems using Service Component Architecture (SCA):
  - A CICS mapped binding can incorrectly do an outbound
  request when the EXEC CICS INVOKE SERVICE call sets a URI.
  - The maxCommareaLength from the SCDL is not used.
  - The PIPELINE used on a Reference is not overridden by fields
  set in a promoted reference.
  The problems are caused by CICS:
   - not using the binding uri for CICS mapped bindings;
   - always using a default value of 32000 for maxCommareaLength;
   - not searching the full reference binding chain when using a
     reference.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIIW has been updated to correctly honour the binding URI for
  a CICS mapped binding.  DFHPICA has been updated to use the
  MaxCommareaLength binding value and to report the correct
  pipeline for a reference.
