APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Invalid results may occur when a WUI, CICS Explorer or CPSM API
    request is issued against CSD resources in a MAS.  If the
    request fails, it will most likely return an error response and
    reason of 1031 (NOTPERMIT) / 1345 (USRID).  However, other
    unpredictable results may occur, including abend ASRA/S0C4 in
    method EYU0CRCK (CRCK) in the CMAS to which the MAS is
    connected.

    * 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 CICS simulated security resource checking is active in a
    MAS, method EYU0CRCK (CRCK), running in the CMAS to which the
    MAS is connected, uses security information defined for the
    specific resource to index into a security table for the MAS, to
    determine if resource security checking should be performed.
    For CSD resources, the security information defined for all
    resources is incorrect, causing CRCK to use an invalid index
    into the MAS's security table.  This can cause CRCK to attempt
    to perform more security checking than required, which can
    result in the invalid results documented above.
    

Problem conclusion

  • CRCK has been updated to define the security information
    correctly for all CSD resources.
