Introduction:
Preparation for upgrade to CICS TS 5.3.
Question:
Is RO89429 specific to CTS 5.1 or do we need it if we plan to go to CTS 5.3?
Answer:
RO89429 is pertinent to any CTS 5.1 system or higher. This supercedes RO58648, which was the original PTF. It was found that HOLDDATA was needed to
ensure the module gets re-linked, so the correction will take effect. This required a re-publication of the PTF:
After installing this maintenance, module USDTPIF5 in CAGJLOAD must be linked into the CUSTOM library with an IDMSCINT.
This includes the IDMSCINT that was linked during the install. Additional USDTPIFx modules linked with an
IDMSCINT for DMLO access to multiple CVs from one CICS, should also be linked.
Linkage editor/binder statements:
ORDER DFHEAI,USDTPIF5
INCLUDE CAGJLOAD(USDTPIF5)
INCLUDE CUSTLIB(idmscint)
ENTRY DFHEAI
SETOPT PARM(AMODE=31,REUS=SERIAL,RMODE=ANY)
NAME usdtpifx(R)
