PM98674: DFHRESPONSE CONTAINER DELETED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are developing a web aware requester application.  The
  INVOKE SERVICE fails with INVREQ(16) RESP2(108).  This error is
  not documented and the DFHRESPONSE container, which  would
  provide additional important diagnostic information has been
  deleted.   While CICS will not usually delete DFHRESPONSE in
  the case of an unexpected HTTP related error, DFHPISN is
  changing its state from RECEIVE-RESPONSE to NO-RESPONSE.  This
  is done to indicate to any SOAP header handlers that there is
  no SOAP message to process.  However, this also has the side
  effect of deleting the DFHRESPONSE container at the end of
  DFHPISN processing.  The container being deleted makes
  tracking down the cause of the HTTP error much more difficult.

  ****************************************************************
  EXEC CICS SERVICE fails with INVREQ(16) RESP2(108) indicating
  that an HTTP error has occurred.
  When the error occurs the HTTP status code is stored in the
  DFHRESPONSE container but this container is deleted by
  code in DFHPISN before returning to the application that
  issued the EXEC CICS request.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPISN has been changed to return the DFHRESPONSE container
  when there is an INVREQ(16) RESP2(108) response to an
  EXEC CICS INVOKE SERVICE request.
