Component: CA Datacom
CA Datacom DL1 Transparency (DBDT)
Resolution
After any CA Datacom DL1 Transparency (DBDT) PTF to support a new CICS/TS release in z/OS has been applied, complete these actions for each CICS/TS environment:
1. Re-assemble and link edit the CA Datacom DL1 Transparency DLCVTPR using the parameter CICS=release.
Example: CTS 5.5 parameter should be “,CICS=7.2” while CTS 5.4 should be “,CICS=7.1”).
2. Ensure that the release appropriate IBM CICS SDFHMAC is specified in the SYSLIB concatenation.
See CA Datacom DL1 Transparency CABKSAMP JCL member BKCUS01 STEPB for sample assemble and link edit of DLCVTPR.
3. Ensure that the PTF provided CSD entries and load modules are installed into each online environment.
