PM44954: CICS AUX TRACE IS FULL OF BADWRKLD TRACES ENTRIES, HIDING THE REAL PROBLEM .

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The BadWRKLD traces occur when a distributed route is shipped
  for a workload to an AOR which is also marked as a TOR, but for
  a different workload than the route was for.
  Would be helpful a way just to disable the trace entry type.
  

Local fix

• Removing the  AORs as TORs, or removing the DSRTPGM=EYU9XLOP
  from the AORs.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Auxiliary trace data sets may become    *
  *                      flooded with records containing a debug *
  *                      text of BadWRKLD and a trace point id   *
  *                      of 29.                                  *

  * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
  *                 APAR, all MASes must be recycled to pick up  *
  *                 the changed code.  Note that the restarts do *
  *                 not need to occur at the same time.          *

  The BadWRKLD traces occur when a distributed route is shipped
  for a workload to an AOR which is also marked as a TOR, but for
  a different workload than the route was for.
  
  WDIN (EYU0WDIN - DTR Program Call Initialization/termination)
  generates an exception trace when this condition exists,
  possibly flooding the Aux trace data set with BadWRKLD entries,
  which may end up hiding the real problem.
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified EYU0WDIN to change the BadWRKLD exception trace to a
  Level 31 trace.
  

Temporary fix
