    However, CICS BBOOUT shows the following being issued:
    
      BBOA8942W The Reuse request is disabled due to SEC(Y).
    
    BBOA8942W message should not be issued in this case when SEC=N.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server V7.0 and V8.0                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Message BBOA8942W is issued when SEC    *
    *                      is not specified on BBOC transaction    *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When a BBOC transaction is entered in CICS to register with
    WebSphere Optimized Local Adapters (WOLA) or to start a link
    server, the SEC parameter is optional.  When SEC is not
    specified, message BBOA8942W is issued.  This message implies
    that both SEC and REU have been specified.  In the cases where
    SEC has not been specified, this message should not be issued,
    as its text is contrary to what the user has specified on the
    BBOC transaction.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code has been added to issue message BBOA8942W only when
    necessary.
    
    APAR PM85813 is currently targeted for inclusion in Fix Packs
    7.0.0.31 and 8.0.0.7 of WebSphere Application Server.
