PM86146: WSCOOR:IDENTIFIER AND WSCOOR:EXPIRES MUST BE IN SEQUENTIAL ARRANGEMENT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When CICS is the requester for an atomic web service and
  DTIMOUT has been specified, CICS will add WSCOOR:Expires before
  WSCOOR:Identifier in the generated SOAP message. The web
  service provider replies with the message "start element
  'Identifier' from namespace
  'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/10/wscoor' expected. Found
  element 'WSCOOR:Expires'.
  
  The sequence element provides an XML representation of an
  ordered set of element types. For each element type associated
  with a sequence element in an XML schema document, there must be
  a corresponding element in the corresponding XML instance - in
  the same order.
  
  <xsd:complexType name="CoordinationContextType">
     <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="Identifier"></xsd:element>
        <xsd:element ref="wscoor:Expires" minOccurs="0"/>
        <xsd:element name="CoordinationType" type="xsd:anyURI"/>
        <xsd:element name="RegistrationService"
  type="wsa:EndpointReferenceType"/>
     </xsd:sequence>
  

Local fix

• Set transaction DTimout to NO.

  ****************************************************************
  CICS is acting as a web service requester using WS-AT. The
  CICS transaction that issues the INVOKE SERVICE command is
  defined with DTIMOUT specification.
  
  To process the INVOKE SERVICE request, CICS calls header
  handler program to create the coordination context header.
  Since the presence of the DTIMOUT value, <wscoor:Expires>
  element will be added into the coordination context header.
  According to the wscoor schema, if the <wscoor:Expires>
  element exists, it should be added after the
  <wscoor:Identifier> element. But CICS adds it before the
  <wscoor:Identifier> element.
  
  When the request is received into a non-CICS provider, the
  provider parses the context based on wscoor schema. Since
  the <wscoor:Expires> element is in an incorrect order, an
  error happens which causes the request not to be properly
  processed.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPIAT has been changed so that the <wscoor:Expires> element
  can be added into the coordination context header in the
  correct order.
