PM67149: PROGRAM FROM CICS WEBSERVICE LOADED AND EXECUTED LOCALLY AT FIRST LINK IF AUTOINSTALLED WITH DYNAMIC(YES)

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DFHPITL issues a DFHPGLE LINK_EXEC call. The target program is
  not defined but autoinstall is active so the program gets
  defined and installed as dynamic(yes).  FORCE_LOCAL(NO) was not
  specified so DFHPGLE carries on with the link and attempts to
  load the program.
  If the program is available in DFHRPL it is loaded and executed
  in the local region.
  

Local fix

• Define the program

  *                      dynamic(yes), it is loaded and executed *
  *                      locally at first link.                  *

  ****************************************************************
  CICS is acting as a Web Service provider. A request is sent
  in to run program PROGA1. PROGA1 is not installed locally. An
  autoinstall exit is installed to install PROGA1 with
  dynamic(yes) and a dynamic routing exit is installed to route
  PROGA1 to a remote CICS region.
  
  When the request comes in the first time, DFHPITL is called to
  invoke the required program PROGA1. Because PROGA1 is not
  installed locally, DFHPITL doesn't know that it is supposed to
  be dynamic and doesn't set the flag that triggers the dynamic
  routing exit to be invoked.
  
  If PROGA1 is availale in the DFHRPL then it is loaded and
  executed locally.
  
  If PRGOA1 is not available in the DFHRPL then this will cause
  DFHPITL to link to DFHPIRI. DFHPIRI will issue a EXEC CICS LINK
  to PROGA1 which will invoke the dynamic routing program.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPITL is changed so that it correctly sets the flag that
  triggers the dynamic routing exit.
