    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:    You execute the CICS Discovery       *

    *                      to generate IdML books mapping your     *

    *                      CICS DLA with the IdML books produced   *
    *                      by the z/OS DLA, you find that the      *
    *                      CICS DLA has appended extraneous        *

    *                      the discovered NETNAME is less than     *

    *                      find that the IdML books created by     *
    *                      the CICS DLA do not contain the CICS    *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
    *                 APAR, rerun the CICS DLA program EYU9XDDA    *
    *                 from libraries containing the updated load   *
    *                 module.                                      *
    ****************************************************************
       The CICS DLA extracted the NetID value from the third through
    the tenth characters of the Network Unit of Work string for the
    CPSM MAS Agent long-running task.  If the network ID was less
    than eight characters in length, extraneous characters were ap-
    pended to the true value.
       The CICS DLA did not write a cdm:VersionString element for
    CICSRegion objects.
    

Problem conclusion

  •    The CICS DLA program EYU9XDDA was modified to obtain the
    NetID value from the ONETWKID (Originating network ID) attribute
    of the MAS Agent long-running task if available.  If the CICS
    region is executing a version of CICS which does not report task
    association data, the NetID is extracted from the Network Unit
    of Work, and truncated to the true Network ID length.
       CICS DLA subprograms EYU9XDD0 and EYU9XDD3 were modified to
    generate cdm:VersionString elements for each discovered CICS
    region.
