EXEC CICS INVOKE WEBSERVICE RESP=16 RESP2=17 after renewing certificate

Question & Answer


Question

Why is the outbound webservice getting an EXCEPTION with RESP=16 RESP2=17 after I renew an expired certificate? I have reinstalled the certificate, and discarded and reinstalled the WEBSERVICE and URIMAP definitions. I am running CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) V4.2.

This is the error that I see in CICS trace:

 18470 L802W PI 0601 PIIW  EXIT  INVOKE_WEBSERVICE/EXCEPTION                
                                               UNEXPECTED_NORESP,3,6C        =238714    
 18470 L802W AP F919 EIPI  EXIT  INVOKE_SERVICE  RESP=16   RESP2=17          =238715 

Answer

For CICS TS V4.2, you have to recycle the region. For CICS TS V5.1 and above, you can enter CEMT P SSL REBUILD to refresh the cache that contains copies of the certificates and is managed by z/OS SSL.
