FILE TRIGGER IS UNEXPECTEDLY ACTIVATED BY FAILOVER
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
File triggers that have unsatisfied predecessors are wrongly activated
in the case that an agent with a defined FAILOVER parameter takes over the
workload.
This fix keeps the file trigger waiting until the predecessors are
satisfied.
SYMPTOMS:
File triggers are activated even though the predecessors were not
satisfied.
IMPACT:
Unexpected file trigger activation during agent failover.
CIRCUMVENTION:
Temporarily omit the FAILOVER parameter in the agent definition.

LCSF RETURNING INVALID CONDS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
A job scoreboard entry may stay in application wait and/or application
hold status. It happens when an application is terminated, for example
through the APPLJOB ALL TERMINATE command or TA line command in CSF
while the application is in a on hold and/or wait status. This fix
ensures that the job scoreboard is properly updated for application
termination request.
SYMPTOMS:
"LCSF (APPLHOLD) AND (COMPLETE)" command returns wrong values for the
applications which were on hold and terminated.
IMPACT:
LCSF command may display wrong entries but the ESP inner processing is
not affected. Only the scoreboard may be incorrectly updated.
CIRCUMVENTION:
None.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The elapsed time of a job run can be wrongly computed for quick
running distributed workload objects. The LJS command will show
meaningless value 75059993.8 for MINS_EXEC. It is an overflow
problem corrected by this fix.
SYMPTOMS:
LJS command displays too high a value for MINS_EXEC.
IMPACT:
Wrong value displayed by LJS command.

JOBS STUCK IN JOBANCWAIT
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
A job in an application with the keyword JOB_ANCESTOR_WAIT(ANY) may remain
in JANCWAIT status although previous runs of the same job have completed.
It can happen for the following time-sorted scenario:
1.Same jobs in 2 or more immediately previous application generations are
forced complete.
2.There is still at least active job of the same name in a previous
application generation.
3.A new application generation with the same job is triggered and
the keyword JOB_ANCESTOR_WAIT(ANY) used.
4. All jobs as #2 are completed.
The fix corrects the ESP ancestor wait behavior.
SYMPTOMS:
A job in an application with defined the keyword JOB_ANCESTOR_WAIT(ANY) is
not released from ancestor wait status though all conditions were satisfied.
IMPACT:
A job incorrectly remains in ancestor wait status.
CIRCUMVENTION:
NONE

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
End time field of a bypassed job in the Workstation Director
incorrectly displays subscribe time value instead of the actual job
bypass time. After applying the fix, the Workstation Director
correctly displays the actual job bypass time value in the End time
field of the bypassed job.
SYMPTOMS:

FAILOVER JOURNALING SYNCHRONIZATION
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
1. The failover cloning process may be time consuming due to large ESP
operational data sets. As a result, the primary proxy subsystem may
start journal transmission before its primary master finishes cloned
data sets transmission. This may cause a contention on the secondary
sysplex ESP operational files.
2. The JOURNAL TAKEOVER command does not cause an actual switch to the
secondary sysplex. It only sets internal flags and issues an
appropriate message, and takeover is postponed until all primary
subsystems go down. User intervention or automation is required to shut
all the primary subsystems down. With this fix applied, performing shutdown
of all the primary subsystem by the JOURNAL TAKEOVER command decreases the
risk of unsynchronized shutdown due to automation dysfunction or human error.
SYMPTOMS:
1. Contention on ESP operational files.
2. Takeover delay.
IMPACT:
1. Failover session fails.
2. Critical takeover delay.
CIRCUMVENTION:
None.

***************************
THE START A PLANNED TAKEOVER OF WORKLOAD PROCEDURE HAS CHANGED.
After issuing the JOURNAL TAKEOVER command, no user intervention or
automation is required to shut down all the primary subsystems anymore.
Step 2 of this procedure now describes that the JOURNAL TAKEOVER
command stops all the primary subsystems automatically.

DESELECTION CAPABILITY FOR RERUN MULTIPLE
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
This enhancement enables users of the RERUNM command and of the RM CSF
line command to exclude a job from a rerun multiple request by placing
a minus sign before the job name in the list of root jobs.
Examples:
-RERUNM APPL(MYAPP.3) ROOTJOBS(-.-,-JOBA,-JOBD) SIMULATE
requests simulation of a rerun multiple of all jobs in an
application, but excludes JOBA and JOBD.
-RERUNM APPL(MYAPP.3) ROOTJOBS(-.-,-JOB-.-) SIMULATE
requests simulation of a rerun multiple of all jobs in an
application, but excludes jobs whose name begins with JOB.
-RERUNM APPL(MYAPP.3) ROOTJOBS(JOBA+,-JOBC+) SIMULATE
requests simulation of a rerun multiple of all jobs in an
application whose first job is JOBA, but JOBC and its successors
are excluded.
In the case of the RM CSF line command, the format of the root jobs
list on the "Rerun jobs" panel is identical to the syntax of the
ROOTJOBS operand of the RERUNM command. If a job list data set is
used to specify root jobs, a minus sign prefixed to a job name excludes
the job, for example, a job list data set that contains
(-.- -JOBA -JOBD)
requests a rerun multiple of all jobs in an application, but excludes
JOBA and JOBD.
SYMPTOMS:
None.
IMPACT:
None.
CIRCUMVENTION:
None.

IF-THEN-ELSE-DO-ENDDO LOGIC CORRECTION
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
This fix corrects various bugs related to
processing of IF,THEN,ELSE,DO,ENDDO constructs:
- When a symbolic variable is not defined in a
procedure, ESP rightfully issues 13E error
message. However, when this symbolic variable is
used in the logical expression of an IF statement,
then ESP may also issue spurious 21E and 322E
error messages.
- A symbolic variable defined and used inside a JOB
scope, in the logical expression of an IF statement,
is not recognized by ESP as defined. Note that this
happens only in the processing mode and only when
another job is being processed. As a result ESP
generates spurious 13E error message, as well as
possible spurious 21E and 322E messages.
- When a symbolic variable is not defined in ESP
procedure, but it is used in the false branch of
IF statement, no error messages are supposed to be
generated. This works as expected under THEN false
branch. However, in case of ELSE false branch, ESP
issues 13E and 21E spurious error messages.
- Some ESP statements, like ECHO, following an INVOKE
statement may not be executed by ESP. This happens
when invoked procedure contains a DO statement, but
closing ENDDO is missing.
- When jumping inside correctly defined
IF-THEN-ELSE-DO-ENDDO constructs (JUMPTO command),
ESP may generated spurious 322E error messages.
Note, this happens only when usermod 190 is on.
- When EXIT statement is coded inside DO/ENDDO block,
ESP may issue spurious 26E error message.
Note, this happens only when usermod 190 is on.
- When a nested IF-THEN-ELSE construct is immediately
followed by another IF statement (not necessarily
nested), this second IF may be ignored by ESP
(both true and false branches are skipped).
The following messages have been added and/or
modified:
26E - Missing <N> ENDDO statement(s)
702E - More than 65535 nested DO statements,
DO ignored
2813W - DO statement extraneous information ignored
21E - ELSE statement is out of sequence, ignored
22E - No THEN statement found
23E - Invalid logical expression
SYMPTOMS:
ESP does not recognize correct IF,THEN,ELSE,DO,ENDDO constructs
and issues error messages.
ESP does not issue error messages for some incorrectly coded
IF,THEN,ELSE,DO,ENDDO constructs.
IMPACT:
Application not generated

***************************
This APAR fixes multiple complex bugs
as well as it changes many ESP messages.
CA advises to carefully test this APAR
in your test environment before promoting
it to production.
CA also advises using USERMOD 190 to check
your existing and new applications.
Usermod 190 allows to avoid potential bugs
in processing of ESP applications.
Here's brief description of usermod 190:
- Ensures integrity of JOB/ENDJOB pairs
- Ensures integrity of DO/ENDDO pairs
- Enforces correct syntax of character
strings that are assigned to or compared
with INTEGER variables.
Code BYPASS(HOLDSYS) on your APPLY/ACCEPT
statement to bypass this hold.

EVENT OWNER OPTION DISAPPEAR
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
ESP removes the OWNER(userid) parameter of the EVENT command by mistake.
This is done in the case that the user who edits the event is the same
user as specified in the OWNER(userid) parameter.
This fix assures that the OWNER(userid) parameter of the EVENT command
is not removed in this situation.
SYMPTOMS:
The OWNER(userid) parameter of the EVENT command is unintentionally removed.
IMPACT:
Loss of the OWNER(userid) parameter in the event definition.
The loss of this parameter can cause the unintentional change of the owner
of the event to the last user who edited the event.

ESP ABEND U2903 IN SUBSTITUTION OF SYMBOLIC VARIABLES
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
ESP may intermittently abend with code U2903 when processing substitution
of symbolic variables. The following example illustrates the conditions for
this abend.
1. ESP simulates or triggers/schedules an event that invokes a procedure with
the following command
ESP LJ %MNJOB(%MNJOBNO) STEPS
2. The value of %MNJOBNO has to be close to 32767. In this example, the abend
occurs if %MNJOBNO is between 32751 and 32767.
ESP treats this expression as a substring notation format instead of passing
a job number to the LJ command, which leads to the abend.
SYMPTOMS:
ESP abend U2903.
IMPACT:
ESP outage.
CIRCUMVENTION:
ESP LJ %MNJOB.(%MNJOBNO) STEPS
Note a period between %MNJOB and (%MNJOBNO).

WOBTRIG STATUS IS NOT POPULATED CORRECTLY IN WORKSTATION
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Events with wobtrigs always show 'WOBTRIG IN PREPARATION' in Workstation.
In ESP the correct status is shown "failed" or "Monitored for UPDATE" for
example. This is due to the LIST LEVEL(-.-) command, and the
LIST LEVEL(-.-) VERBOSE command giving different output for events with
wobtrigs. LIST LEVEL(-.-) command always shows 'WOBTRIG IN PREPARATION'.
SYMPTOMS:
Events with wobtrigs always show 'WOBTRIG IN PREPARATION' in Workstation.
IMPACT:
User cannot determine the correct status of WOBDEF on the workstation.
CIRCUMVENTION:
Check correct status in ESP by issuing LIST LEVEL(-.-) VERBOSE command or
by looking at E.3 option (a list of events) in ISPF interface.
