Introduction
============
Hotfixes are cumulative. This hotfix includes all previous hotfixes for TIBCO(R) Object Service Broker for z/OS 5.2.0. We recommend that you apply all hotfixes up to and including hotfix06.

======================================================================
Closed Issues in 5.2.0_hotfix06 (This Release)

OSBO-1502
Increase maximum row length of DAT tables to 31744.

OSBZ-920
Use correct buffer for building secondary index.

OSBZ-955
Fix abend caused by index stack overflow.

OSBZ-1212
Allow x'00' string literals by differentiating between x'00' used as an indicator of the "null" token in the table of literals encountered in a rule and x'00' used as an actual literal in the rule.                                    

OSBZ-1253
Stop D78 abend due to functional change at z/OS 1.11.

OSBZ-1265
Pass new field DATACLEANSING between the UI table definer and its rules-based counterparts (table types MAP, IMS, IDM, IMP & VSM only).                                                          

OSBZ-1275
Add null termination to gTcpnameAttributeName and correct S6BRE012 relay number.

OSBZ-1341  
Allow fields of P9 through P16 to be defined in screens and reports.  

OSBZ-1363
Add support for P16 and B12 parms for Offline Utilities.

OSBZ-1381
Define PRM table for @SERVERDEBUG.
                                                  
SGFZ-20
Prevent recycle a rules-based gateway such as Datacom, due to non-zero return code from the interpreter. Also, fake a userid for rules-based server sessions thus untangling IDPREFIX and server's OSB userid.    

SGFZ-34
Fix intermittent abends following a series of DAT tables read/reread. The DATACOM tool now carries out metadata extraction via batchonly in TSO and via in-process in non-TSO workbench.  

SGFZ-37
An empty location is now created when generating DAT definitions.

SGFZ-39
Modify the LENGTH field in the @DATOBJ table so it is now B2 instead of V5.

SGFZ-40
Make improvements to error message (@DM, 16).

SGFZ-41
Improve processing for server control commands: URTSTATUS, OPENURT and CLOSEURT.                                        

SGFZ-44
Make rule-based gateways fully exempt from the "SPOOLSTRIP job" feature enforcement.  

SGFZ-45
Ensure that in Datacom, fields can only come from Data Dictionary (via extraction) or from a COBOL copybook (via UI Table Editor).                

SGFZ-49
Generate unique server session identifier for Rules-Based servers.
                                                                                                        
SGOD-20
Ensure that these assignments can be carried out:    
- for SLK, it truncates to 31742 the externally reported length
- to enable successful generic validation, it makes rule VALID_STRLGTH invoke rule RANGE_TEST with upper boundary 127 for parameters and 31742 for fields.

SGOR-22
Allow REPLACE T to work even if T has only primary-key fields such that the SLK/ORS gateway can accept it silently.

SGOR-25
Allow the z/OS code base signal INTEGRITYFAIL/SERVERERROR for RC=72, as it should in compliance with protocol.

SGOR-26
Change rule RESETDYN_SLK so as to use GET/DELETE rather than FORALL/DELETE when cleaning up the @SRVRPRMS_TYP table.

SGOR_27
Rule SCRMSG_SLK is now invoked in the @SLKEXTRACT main loop, so that any message longer than 76 bytes is displayed on a special separate screen @SLKMSG. Additionally, all @SLKEXTRACT messages requiring confirmation are now shorter than 76 bytes.          

SGOR-28                    
Address issues related to selection from external/"shadow" dictionary tables in both definer & extractor.

SGOR-29
@SLKEXTRACT is now correctly using location to access first the sample SLK definition and then the external dictionary tables.

SGOR-31
Issue TAM010 if DELETE WHERE disallowed in order to reconcile with Open Systems.
