    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
    *                 APAR, any CICS regions configured as System  *
    *                 Managed Single Server (SMSS) regions  must   *
    *                 be recycled to pick up the new code.  Note   *
    *                 that regions do not need to be brought down  *
    *                 and restarted at the same time.              *
    ****************************************************************
       Module EYU0XCIN (XCIN - Data Cache Initialization) allocates
    and initializes the Data Cache Management Data Space (DMDS).
    In an SMSS region the DMDS is allocated from CICS storage above
    16 MB instead of as a data space.  A logic error caused code to
    manage the ALET of the DMDS data space to be executed in an SMSS
    region.
    

Problem conclusion

  • ALET management code is bypassed when the data cache component
    is initialized in an SMSS region.
