Defect corrections:

  SESS-2169 - Critical - CICS RED
    
  Substation ES does not auto reconnect to CICS when using the RED
   interface. This occurs when CICS is down, Substation is started
   and then CICS is started almost immediately after the Substation has
   been started. CICS regions may not be automatically reconnected.
  This has been fixed.
  
  
  SESS-2168 - High - CICS EXCI
      
  Substation ES 2.14.x now confirms support for CICS 5.6.
   With the mandatory changes in the DFHXCOPT all EXCI Calls from the 
   Substation ES region supports the surrogate user requirements.
  


================================================================================
  Hotfix 04
  ---------
  
  
  RED-766 - Critical
  
  Storage for data stream transmit buffer is not freed at the end of
  CICS #RED transactions. This does not affect regions that mainly have
  long running #RED transactions.
  The result would be that CICS would eventually exhaust usable storage
  in the EDSA area.
  This has been fixed.
  
  
  RED-765 - Informational
  
  Missing error text for SXX8312 has now been updated.
  
  
  SESS-2165 - High
  
  When Substation is running with IMS, an incorrectly-coded call to a
  message-issuing routine resulted in an S0C4 abend.
  This has been fixed.



================================================================================
  Hotfix 03
  ---------
  
  SSES-2161 - High
  
  #RED tasks in CICS do not gracefully come down during shutdown.
  During CICS shutdown #RED transaction(s) do not respond to the PLT
  SXXOSHUT shutdown request(s). #RED transactions are forced to abend
  during shutdown.
  This has been fixed.
  
  
  SSES-2160 - Critical
  
  SXXO#RED messages from BPool addressability 31/64 bit.
  Previously if the interface values were not set correctly, #RED may terminate
  unexpectedly.
  Auto-detect now been correctly enabled and the issue has been resolved.


  SSES-2159 - Critical
  
  The Substation RED interface messages in BPool addressability 31/64 bit.
  Previously if the interface values were not set correctly, the Substation 
  Async/Triggers threads may terminate unexpectedly.
  Auto-detect now been correctly enabled and the issue has been resolved.  
  
  
  RED-762 and RED-756 - Critical
  
  Test for expired messages is incorrect and Substation ES reports
   7900 and 7901 errors.
  Modules SXXAX625, SXXAX221 and SXXAX222 have been changed to correct the
   expiry of messages in 31bit and 64bit buffer pools.
  This issue has now been resolved.
  
  
  RED-761 - Critical
  
  SXXAHUB abends with a S0C3 due to errors when reading parm file.
  When the Mainframe HUB starts up, it reads the parameters from
   DDNAME TIBPARM and when this operation fails a S0C3 is issued
   sometimes with fatal results when incorrect names are specified.
  This issue has now been resolved.


  RED-755 - Critical
  
  Module SXXAX820 will abend with S0C4 on certain API Leave requests.
  This issue has now been resolved.
  
  
  RED-754 - Critical
  
  SXX8137E error occurs even when buffer pool is not full.
  This issue has now been resolved.

  
  RED-753 - Critical
  
  Message Information Block (MIB) was overlaid during Send-with-Reply requests.
  This caused message SXX7950E with a header length of zero to be displayed.
  This issue has now been resolved.

  
  RED-752 - High
  
  Recovery module SXXARCV abends with a S0C1 during application or
   Substation Abends.
  This issue has now been resolved.

  
  RED-749 - Normal
    
  If message expiry time has not been specified, RED currently uses a
   value of 30 seconds. This change will take the specified timeout value
   and add 5 seconds for cross-memory and 10 seconds for XCF.

  
  SSES-2148 - High
  
  Remove Mainframe HUB requirement when using the EXCI interface.
  This dependency has been removed for v2.14.x
  
  
  SSES-2150 - Critical
  
  Under stress the Event List creates duplicate entries and message SXG2936W
   repeatedly reports incorrect values.
  This issue has now been resolved.
  
  SSES-2152 - Normal
  
  Message SXG1891I has been changed to show the RED trigger service name and more.
  When the trigger service trace level is set to a value higher than zero this
    message is displayed.
  
  
  

================================================================================
  Hotfix 02
  ---------

  SSES-2147 - High
  
  Logging to disk (VSAM) functions and the Wrap feature didn't work.
  This issue has now been resolved.

  Storage allocated increases for long-running applications.
  This issue has now been resolved.
  
  
  RED-747 - Critical

  Corrected and fixed.


  SSES-2106 - Critical

  Function Obtain_ErrInfo abends on 0C4. Corrected and fixed.

  SSES-2075 - Critical      

  Substation ES now allows a trigger service using containers to include a 
  correlation ID container, where the output message will be sent by 
  Substation ES with JMSCorrelationID property for EMS, or tibss-CorrelationId 
  as a field for RV.


  SSES-2071 - Critical      

  Fixed Substation ES to allow Recipes with Method of Reply = 0 | 1 to be able  
  to forward the Correlation ID and the Service REPLY-TO value as separate 
  container fields to the BES application.
