Error description

• Error Description￘
  When I run a CICS TS 410 SCAN command, I find that identical
  copies of definitions in different groups are still report as
  not matching via message DFH5632. The only difference between
  the definitions are the DEFINITION-SIGNATURE fields, ie-
  DEFINETIME, CHANGETIME, CHANGEUSRID, CHANGEAGENT, CHANGEAGREL.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A CICS user performs a DFHCSDUP SCAN    *
  *                      operation and finds that two identical  *
  *                      copies of a resource definition in      *
  *                      different RDO groups are reported as    *
  *                      different via a DFH5632 message.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When comparison is made of two RDO definitions the comparison
  logic in DFHCSDUP takes into account the DEFINITION SIGNATURE
  fields, added in CICS 4.1.  As a result when two definitions
  which differ only in their DEFINITION SIGNATURE fields are
  compared the logic returns true, indicating a difference.

Problem conclusion

• The logic in DFHCSDUP's PUPC procedure has been modified so that
  no comparison is made of the resources' DEFINETIME, CHANGETIME,
  CHANGEUSRID, CHANGEAGENT and CHANGEAGREL fields.
