Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• You are in the planning stages for migrating to EAV addresses.
  The EAV Migration Tracker is active and shows the following
  when BPXBATCH is used:
  ----TRACKING INFORMATION---- -VALUE--
                         JOBNAME        PROGNAME OFF-- ASID NUM
  SMS-E:1 DADSM OBTAIN    CICS TSOUSER *PATHNAM   DA8   8E  18

  SMS-E:1 DADSM OBTAIN    CICS TSOUSER *PATHNAM   DA8  286  26
  .
  Looking further this shows that DFHWS2LS is calling BXPBATCH.
  This process is not compatible to use EAV Addresses which is
  why the migration tracker flagged it.

Comments

• The CICS Web Services Assistants have been updated to allow

  The Java version used to execute the Assistants needs to be at
  Java 7.0 64bit Service Refresh 6 or later to enable EAV support.
