Action needed when applying CICS TS V5 APAR PI39825 - HOLD DOC missing

Question & Answer


Question

APAR PI39825 included a change to DFHWBPW1, which is a customizable user-replaceable template. But, the close for this APAR did not include any HOLD DOC tracking to indicate that if you have made a copy of the template that you should make the change supplied by the APAR to your customized DFHWBPW1. As a result, you will continue to get HTTP 500 ERROR instead of a meaningful text message after applying CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) 5.1 PTF UI30063 or CICS TS 5.2 PTF UI30064 for APAR PI39825. This post will answer the question: What should I do to eliminate the HTTP 500 ERROR if I am using a customized version of DFHWBPW1?

Answer

If you are using a customized version of DFHWBPW1, you should make the same changes supplied by APAR PI39825 to your copy of DFHWBPW1.

PI39825 only added the following two messages, 7 and 8:

   DC    C'<!--#set var="message.7" value='             @PI39825A  
   DC    C'"The supplied password(s) are not the'       @PI39825A  
   DC    C' correct length.'                            @PI39825A  
   DC    C' Please re-enter the passwords."'            @PI39825A  
   DC    C' -->'                                        @PI39825A  
   DC    C'<!--#set var="message.8" value='             @PI39825A  
   DC    C'"The connection to the user''s default'      @PI39825A  
   DC    C'  group has been revoked."'                  @PI39825A  
   DC    C' -->'                                        @PI39825A 

The IBM source for program DFHWBPW1 can be found in the CICS sample library, SDFHSAMP. After you make the changes, you'll need to reassemble and link-edit it into one of your normal CICS program libraries that are concatenated into the DFHRPL data definition statement.
