  *                      Server V4.1 or V4.2, where the MP CMAS  *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
  *                 APAR, all CMASes must be restarted.  Note    *
  *                 that the restarts do not need to occur at    *
  *                 the same time.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  When an API request to update, remove or perform an action
  against a CSYSDEF, CSYSGRP, CSGLCGCG or CSGLCGCS record, is sent
  to a MP CMAS running CICS Transaction Server V5.1 or higher,
  from a non-MP CMAS running CICS Transaction Server V4.1 or V4.2,
  the response returned by the MP CMAS to the non-MP CMAS may
  include an error value that was introduced at CICS Transaction
  Server V5.1.  When the non-MP CMAS receives this, it will not be
  able to translate the response into a meaningful API error code
  value.  Instead, it will return an API response of FAILED and a
  reason of EXCEPTION.

Problem conclusion

• Resource tables CSYSGRP, CSYSDEF, CSGLCGCG and CSGLCGCS were
  updated to support the error codes introduced at CICS
  Transaction Server V5.1.  Method argument lists (MALs)
  associated with those resource tables were also updated to allow
  the non-MP CMAS to reference the new response error values.
