Issue/Introduction

Symptoms: 

Users are complaining that when they signon to IDMS from UCFCICS they are getting someone else's session. 

What could be causing this?

 

Cause: 

This situation can occur when a UCF session is aborted for some reason and UCFCICZ is not implemented in DFHZNEP to clean up the session's associated UCFCICS storage. 

 

Resolution:

To prevent the problem from happening code parameter USERCHK=YES on the #UCFCICS macro. This will cause UCFCICS to check the CICS userid at the beginning of each task and prevent a connection to another user's backend UCF terminal session.
