Defect Corrections:
RED-780 - Critical
Incorrect usage of PLO instruction causes loop in SXXAX711, SXXAX625 and will
possibly cause high CPU utilization.
This issue has been resolved.
RED-779 - Critical
SXX8303E error message reported after SXXAX625 calls IARBRVEA to validate
address in the target address space.
Tighter control and validation checks have been implemented to eliminate
erroneous SXX830xE messages.
This isuue has been resolved.
SSES-2220 - High - ESB, Messaging
Specifying Recipe, EMS, Copy Correlation value 'W" does not work when no
Correlation Id has been specified and the Substation must choose the Message Id.
This issue has been resolved. Fully compatible with previous versions of
Substation.
SSES-2218 - Enhancement - CICS
Conversion of IVP C module(SXX3I110) to COBOL Module(SXXCI110). This is a
sample program that receives a single container and will generate
multiple output containers based on the request received.
There is sample batch JCL that will drive this transaction.
SSES-2217 - Enhancement - Logger
Two additional Jobnames can now be specified on the Logstream panel. This was
implemented to enable a single view of messages across multiple address spaces such as
Substation, CICS TOR and possibly a CICS AOR.
SSES-2216 - High - CICS
When CICS assigns queue records from the retransmit queue to an outbound
queue, the queue name value is not present.
The update now assigns records to the first queue in the chain when this occurs.
================================================================================
Hotfix 09
---------
SSES-2185 - CICS IVP modules
IVP module SXCCI040 used with containers SendTo and ReplyTo as variables for
the ESB. Updated and resolved.
SSES-2212 - High - RED Interface
CICS system error messages are now mostly reported directly into log and
trace streams of IBM's SYSLOG.
SSES-2214 - High - #RED
A new parameter for RED that sets the restart of #RED after every execution.
The parameter Keyword is, CICS-MAIN-RESTART.
Refer to the latest RED interface Parameter member SXCIRED1. (Default setting is N)
================================================================================
Hotfix 08
---------
SSES-2211 - High - RED SXXREQR
On the first call in a CICS environment, the test to see if SXXRRTO is present
fails. This causes the timeout program SXXRRTO not to be started.
This issue has been resolved.
SSES-2207 & SSES-2209 - High - Log Streams
Log Viewer shows many more lines than needed when the Log format is set to 2.
This issue has been resolved and viewing the Log Stream will now show only
format 2 information.
SSES-2205 - High
Substation ES reports a number of issues and may even cause a dump when
operational commands or the Heartbeat issues certain commands before
the system has completely been initialized.
This issue has now been fixed. Commands will wait in a queue until
Substation has been fully initialized.
SSES-2204 - High - RED Interface
Substation ES will dump on an 0C4 at shutdown after the command
SHOW,RED,SENDER has been issued.
Issue has been resolved.
SSES-2203 - High - RED Interface
CICS interface does not join to the #RED listeners after a
DISCON / CONN command is issued.
Issue has been resolved.
SSES-2202 - High - RED Interface
Error SXX8304E is issued by Substation ES when the CICS #RED transaction does
not or can't start the mainframe RED listeners in a timely manner.
Efficient and progressive retry logic in the RED interface now allows CICS
#RED transaction to start when ready and will wait. SXX8304E is still a
valid code if the CICS #RED transactions fails to start for any reason other
than a timing issue.
Issue has been resolved.
SSES-2197 - High - RED Interface
Message SXX7719E was being incorrectly issued by RED under CICS when no HUB
name was specified. This has been addressed when the default LPAR HUB name
can be used in the event that none is specified.
Module SXX3CADM has been updated to resolve or report the correct condition.
SSES-2192 - High - IMS Interface
Fixed a resume TPipe hold-Nak issue for the default TPipe messages in IMS.
Messages SXI4647W and SXI4004W were being received after installing a new IMS
version.
Problem has been resolved.
SSES-2183 - High - IMS Interface
When the TPipes are stopped, "DFS1292E Security Violation" message appears
in the trace file. Updates have been made to move the user token correctly
to the appropriate field.
The issue has been resolved.
SSES-2182 - Normal - IMS Interface
Numerous messages such as SXI4602F were being reported but in fact these were
only critical messages SXI4602C as documented.
"F" severity messages are for Fatal irrecoverable conditions and should be
issued only when required.
The offending logger modules were corrected to issue "C" critical messages.
RED-772 & RED-769 - Critical
RED modules SXXAX625 and others may cause a S0C4 abend. The most common being
at SXXAX625+4BE. This normally occurs when a communication to another
address space is destroyed abnormally. Additional validation has been added to
prevent the abends from happening.
Issue has been resolved for all modules concerned.
================================================================================

messages when a program or process keeps calling the SYSLOG function.
Minimal message output is now issued.
SSES-2187 - High
Correct request/reply issue when the data area size exceeds RR-MAXSIZE value.
If a user manages to produce a request with a size larger than the
specified RR-MAXSIZE in the CICS interface this message will be issued.
SXC3103I IId:CTSRC1 Task#:246 CA AreaLen:5000 DataLen:4184 MaxRR:5000
This message can also be always generated for a CICS R/R request by
issuing the following operational command:
/F <job-name>,SET,CICS,TRCLVL-TRIG=3
Additional checks and a new message is the result.
SSES-2186 - Normal
New updated program SXR3ISL2 replaces current program SXR3ISL1.
New options available and the ability to reply to messages requiring
a response.

TCP Interface abends when an 8 char userid is specified from WebUI.
The correct length is now passed to the SAF interface.
Issue resolved.
SSES-2173 - Critical - CICS EXCI
Substation may sometimes not enable suspended recipe services.
The Admin interface did not always receive the notifications.
This issue mainly occurs when two or more interfaces from the
same Substation go to the same CICS region. It's possible
that other cases may also produce this error.
Issue has been resolved.
SSES-2172 - High - CICS EXCI
Substation does not shutdown immediately and needs to be canceled when
any of its CICS regions are down at the start of the shutdown.
Issue has been resolved.
SSES-2170 - Normal - Log Stream Viewer
Allow logger viewed data to be written to a data set.
The implementation for the enhancement requires a few changes.
Panel updates: SXLLBHLP, SXLLPARM
Clist Updates: SXLRVIEW. Please ensure to update this Clist.
An output dataset needs to be allocated and cataloged with
the following DCB information.
RECFM=VB,LRECL=324,DSORG=PS
On the viewed logger information panel, type in help or use the #O
to write to the dataset specified on the selection criteria panel.
SSES-2169 - Critical - CICS RED (update)
The cause of error message SXX8303E has been fixed in Substation. After
certain CICS reconnect conditions, Substation ES connection to RED failed
to join. This has been fixed.
================================================================================
Hotfix 05
---------
SSES-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.
SSES-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 support 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.
SSES-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.

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.

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
