PI20654: CICS IA - MULTIPLE UOWS WITH THE SAME CICS_UOW IN CIU_CMDFLOW_DATA

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are using the Command Flow Feature of CICS IA to analyze a
  long running task.  You know the task issues multiple
  SYNCPOINTS, and were expecting the captured data to have
  multiple UOW_IDs associated with it, with a new UOW_ID assigned
  to entries after each SYNCPOINT.  However, you only see one
  UOW_ID for the entire task.
  If you run a SELECT against the CIU_CMDFLOW_DATA table and it
  shows multiple SYNCPOINTS all with the same CICS_UOW value. The
  CICS_UOW value should change after each SYNCPOINT that is
  issued.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: CICS IA 3.2 users who exploit the CICS IA    *
  *                 Command Flow Data.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The CICS IA Command Flow Data collector *
  *                      does not detect the changing of task    *
  *                      UOW. So all collected records of the    *
  *                      specific task have the same UOW.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  Changing of task UOW occurs when EXEC CICS SYNCPOINT commands
  are issued. A syncpoint arises explicitly and implicitly. The
  CICS IA Command Flow Data collector currently considers all CICS
  command of the specific task as running within the scope of one
  UOW initiated at start transaction.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code has been changed to provide detecting of the UOW changing.
