Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Policies do not trigger for Liberty     *
    *                      Web requests or ThreadExecutor started  *
    *                      Java tasks.                             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The set of policy rules are applied to all user tasks excluding
    those that initially link to programs that begin 'DFH'.
    There are exceptions to this rule such as the CICS samples
    or the MQ bridge handlers and these are controlled by
    DFHMPMO. The list of exceptions does not include
    entries for DFHMIRR (used by mirror transactions to service
    function shipping requests) or for DFHSJTHP (the ThreadJoiner
    program used by tasks that are attached from Liberty.)
    Their omission prevents such tasks from having a rule set
    assigned to them when they are attached.
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHMPMO and DFHPGPG have been altered to allow a policy to
    trigger when linking to DFHMIRS, DFHMIRR or DFHSJTHP.
