Issue/Introduction

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

What could be causing this?

Environment

Release: All supported releases.

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.
