PM63595: DISCARD OF FEPI RESOURCE FAILS IN INQUIRY MENU

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are using CEMT to inquire on FEPI resources including
  TARGETs, NODEs, and POOLs.  Once on the Inquiry menu,
  placing a 'D' beside the resource to discard it results in
  an error message depending on the resource type:
  
  DFHSZ4115  FEPI target  .   ... discard failed, code 116,
             for transaction CEMT
  DFHSZ4105  FEPI node    .   ... discard failed, code 117,
             for transaction CEMT
  DFHSZ4110  FEPI pool    .   ... discard failed, code 115,
             for transaction CEMT
  
  CECI FEPI DISCARD... and CEMT DISCARD FExx seem to work as
  expected.

  Using CEMT to inquire on FEPI resources, TARGETs, NODEs and
  POOLs. Once on the Inquiry menu, placing a 'D' beside the
  resource to be discarded results in an error message depending
  on the resource type:
  .
  DFHSZ4115 FEPI target TARGET1 discard failed, code 116, for
            transaction CEMT
  DFHSZ4105  FEPI node NODE1 discard failed, code 117,
            for transaction CEMT
  DFHSZ4110  FEPI pool POOL1 discard failed, code 115,
            for transaction CEMT
  .
  A similar problem exists when an 'S' is placed beside the FEPI
  resource on the Inquiry menu to invoke the SET menu and the
  fields therein changed. The problem also exists when the field
  values are overtyped on the CEMT Inquiry menu for a FEPI
  resource. This problem with SET commands also affects FEPI
  CONNECTIONs.

Problem conclusion

• CICS has been changed to allow FEPI SPI commands issued from the
  CEMT INQUIRE panel to function normally.
