Error description
Abend AEXY after Timeout of Web Open: We call external Webservices via a Proxy and use therefore the XWBOPEN exit. When we get problems with the proxy and the application gets no response on the EXEC CICS WEB open, the transactions get AEXY after 60 seconds. This is not what we expect. We expect the application to get control back with : Returncode TIMEDOUT. ( RESP(TIMEDOUT) and RESP2(62)) and not ABENDAEXY. CICS trace shows that SSL is used and shows : WB 0701 WBCL EXIT PARSE_URL/OK HTTPS,2DD WB 0700 WBCL ENTRY OPEN_SESSION HTTPS,2DD WB FF60 WBQM ENTRY CREATE_POOL WB FF61 WBQM EXIT CREATE_POOL/OK 2C43A060 WB 0713 WBCL EVENT HOST_FOR_XWBOPEN_EXIT WB 0714 WBCL EVENT PROXY_SET_BY_XWBOPEN EXIT SO 0201 SOCK ENTRY CREATE TCP,NO SO 0201 SOCK ENTRY CONNECT 01000069, SO 0201 SOCK ENTRY SEND 2E5F4240 SO 0201 SOCK ENTRY RECEIVE 2E5F4240 . We know that failing case was caused by a SO RECEIVE response (PURGED) REASON(TIMED_OUT) and this currently results in ABENDAEXY .

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An application performing an EXEC CICS * * WEB OPEN using a proxy server and SSL, * * abends AEXY after a socket receive * * timeout. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An application uses the XWBOPEN exit to call an external web service via a proxy. The EXEC CICS WEB OPEN command receives no response due to a timeout on the proxy server and this is handled as an AEXY abend, but should be presented as a TIMEDOUT return code.
Problem conclusion
DFHWBCL is altered so that a return code of TIMEDOUT is issued on an EXEC CICS WEB OPEN command in the event of a time-out on a connection request.
