Issue/Introduction

ESP Workstation Director  is not displaying an  application but it is visible in the ISPF CSF panel.

Environment

 

Cause

The Workstation Director retrieves application records from the APPLFILE. When the application tracking record (ATR) is no longer in the APPLFILE, the application is not displayed in Workstation Director.  
The CSF uses information from the ESP address space memory

Resolution

Verify the ATR is no longer in the APPLFILE

- Issue LAP applname.gen ALL DUMP - This will return the message ESP1164W REQUESTED GENERATION OF APPL applname NOT FOUND
- Issue LAP applname.0 ALL DUMP - this should return the ADXE (Application Descriptor Index Entry) and message "APPLICATION NO LONGER ON APPL FILE"

Additional Information

To let the completed application stay longer on APPLFILE, suggest: 
- Checked if APPLFILE may be increased;
- Run CYBESUT1 and see if any slots (records) can be reclaimed.

And to clean up incomplete applications, suggest:
- Use ESP REXX to check the application created date and issue AJ TERMINATE to force complete aged ones;
- Issue CSF CAA extension to force complete aged ones;
- Add SELFCOMPLETING TASK with CONDITIONAL option, and DELAYSUB and ESP AJ statement to force complete the application after x days.
