TANDEM AGENT ENHANCEMENTS

This is the 11.4 version of the 11.3 problem 930

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

The TANDEM_JOB job type should be updated for the CCI-based NonStop

Agent. This agent adds new optional keywords and it also can create a

spool file, job log file, output file and error file to be retrieved

and displayed by CA Workload Automation ESP Edition.

SYMPTOMS:

There is no support for CCI-based NonStop agents running Tandem jobs.

IMPACT:

The CCI-based NonStop agent is supported by CA Workload Automation ESP

Edition.

CIRCUMVENTION:

None.

ENCRYPTION DOES NOT WORK FOR AGENTS THAT USE A KEYNAME


When an agent is defined in the AGENTDEF file AGENT command, specifying

ENCRYPT KEYNAME(keyname), where 'keyname' is a key defined by the

CRYPTKEY command, encryption does not work for the agent.

SYMPTOMS:

Communication with the agent fails.

IMPACT:

See SYMPTOMS section above.

CIRCUMVENTION:

If the agent uses DES encryption then the key may be specified

explicitly in the AGENTDEF file AGENT command with the operand

ENCRYPT(X'key'), where 'key' is the encryption key.

If the agent uses AES or BLOWFISH encryption, there is no

circumvention.

The OVERDUE counter specified in the SCHEDULE statement is ignored in

the case of an ESP outage and the default value is used.

SYMPTOMS:

After an outage, the scheduled Event triggers only once. However, a

bigger value is specified for the OVERDUE counter.

UNNECESSARY LMP AUTHORIZATION BY CCCHK STEP


z/OS agent customers may see the following message

CAS9180E - CPU xxxxxx REQUIRES A LMP KEY TO RUN PROD (WT)

in the log of the job submitted by z/OS agent.

This is caused by the CCCHK step performing authorization against LMP keys

for CA Workload Automation ESP. This is not necessary as the LMP

authorization by ESP and z/OS agent subsystems is sufficient.

SYMPTOMS:

ESP FAILS TO OPEN A VSAM DATA SET


ESP fails to open an operational VSAM data set if the data set is

shared (SHR) and was previously used as NOSHR or was directly

restored from a backup file. The problem is caused by a missing DVSI

record that is used by ESP for ensuring synchronization between ESP

master/proxy subsystems. The DVSI record is now added during data

set open if necessary.

SYMPTOMS:

One of the following messages will be displayed:

*ESP860S INDEX DATA SET xxxx UNUSABLE

*ESP880S JOB INDEX DATA SET xxxx UNUSABLE

*ESP751S DATASET xxxx NOW PLACED IN SUSPENDED STATE

ESP does not start for the first two messages and the third message

will cause the affected EVENTSET to stay in a suspended state.

IMPACT:

ESP will not start or an EVENTSET will stay in suspended state.

CIRCUMVENTION:

A single subsystem environment (master only) workaround is to set

sharing option for the affected file to NOSHR and also change

the option for QUEUE data set to NOSHR as well.

In other cases ESP must first format new data sets that create the

needed DVSI record and only then old data can be copied over to the newly

formatted data set.

COMPLETED APPLICATIONS OVERWRITTEN IN APPLFILE


Completed applications can have some, but not all

of their slots in the APPLFILE data set overlaid

by another application. On rare occasions a

subsystem or Workstation Server may fail to detect

a completed application APPLFILE slot overlay.

When this occurs, the subsystem or Workstation

Server may abend, usually with code S0C4, if the

overlaid application is accessed.

This fix protects a completed application from

APPLFILE slot overlay by another application. When

the oldest completed application's APPLFILE slots

are required by a new application, all the

completed application's slots will be freed, and

the application will no longer be accessible.

SYMPTOMS:

Subsystem or Workstation Server abend.

IMPACT:

Subsystem or WorkStation Server outage.

CIRCUMVENTION:

If PTF RO59341 has been applied, then batch utility CYBESUT1 can periodically

be run to report applications with APPLFILE slot overlays that can

potentially crash the subsystem or Workstation Server. If any are found, then

CYBESUT1 can be rerun specifying the REPAIR parameter. This will cause

completed applications with the potential to crash the subsystem or

Workstation Server, due to undetected APPLFILE slot overlays by other

applications, to be marked unusable.

LOADAGDF INITIALIZATION STATEMENT IF_NOT_IN_COMMQ OPERAND


A new optional keyword operand, IF_NOT_IN_COMMQ, has been added to the

LOADAGDF initialization statement. If specified, LOADAGDF is only processed

if an agent definition table is not already present in the COMMQ data set.

This prevents an overlay of the current agent definition table in the COMMQ

data set, by the LOADAGDF statement's AGENTDEF data set specifications, when

the user does not want such an overlay. If the IF_NOT_IN_COMMQ operand is

omitted in the LOADAGDF initialization statement, then LOADAGDF is processed

regardless of whether or not an agent definition table is present in the

COMMQ data set.

Note:

The IF_NOT_IN_COMMQ operand only applies to the LOADAGDF initialiation

statement, not to the LOADAGDF operator command.

SYMPTOMS:

There was no completely sound method of telling ESP or z/OS agent to only

process a LOADAGDF initialization statement if no agent definition table

was present in the COMMQ data set.

IMPACT:

See SYMPTOMS section above.

CIRCUMVENTION:

None.

INVALIDATE ONE GENERATION OF APPLICATION


It can happen that ESP task cannot be started

because of a corrupted ATR. Usually, the remedy would be

to delete the B record of the associated application.

This approach has a disadvantage because after the deletion,

all generations of the affected application are lost.

This fix introduces a new command INVAL that can be used in

UTIL mode to invalidate just one generation of the application:

//UTILITY JOB

//ESP EXEC PGM=ESP,PARM='SUBSYS(subsys)'

//STEPLIB DD DSN=prefix.SSCPLINK,DISP=SHR

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSIN DD *

UTIL

OPEN 'prefix.JOBINDEX'

INVAL appl.gen

END

The invalidated generation of the application will no longer be

available to ESP task upon its startup.

This command should be used only when requested by CA Support.

SYMPTOMS:

CA has identified the corrupted ATR as the root cause of this problem.

IMPACT:

CA Workload Automation ESP Edition cannot be started.

None.

RELEASE: 11.3

DATE: 8 JAN 2014

HYPER: NO


---------------------------------------------------------------------

INVALIDATE ONE GENERATION OF APPLICATION

---------------------------------------------------------------------

It can happen that an ESP task cannot be started

because of a corrupted ATR. Usually, the remedy would be

to delete the B record of the associated application.

This approach has a disadvantage because after the deletion,

all generations of the affected application are lost.

This fix introduces a new command INVAL that can be used in

UTIL mode to invalidate just one generation of the application:

//UTILITY JOB

//ESP EXEC PGM=ESP,PARM='SUBSYS(subsys)'

//STEPLIB DD DSN=prefix.SSCPLINK,DISP=SHR

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSIN DD *

UTIL

OPEN 'prefix.JOBINDEX'

INVAL appl.gen

END

The invalidated generation of the application will no longer be

available to ESP task upon its startup.

This command should be used only when requested by CA Support.

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------


RELEASE: 11.3

DATE: 13 JAN 2014

HYPER: NO


---------------------------------------------------------------------

JOBONCSF does not return value

---------------------------------------------------------------------

JOBONCSF is a REXX function available under ESP.

Normally, it returns a number of jobs in CSF that

match a specified name criteria. However, if there

is an error (for example, incorrect input parameters),

the function would not return any value at all,

resulting in REXX IRX0044I error:

Function did not return data

This fix ensures that JOBONCSF always retuns a

value. In case of errors it will return 0, indicating

there were no jobs identified during the call.

Messages issued by REXX functions implemented under

message in output statement will be issued twice,

once in place of an overwritten message, and second
