PHOENIX 7.6.0 PREFERENCE 7.6.0 PTF Number S760023 DATE: 06/12/98 Applicability: All PHOENIX and PREFERENCE Clients Using the VTAM Interface from a TCP/IP connection PROBLEM: TCP/IP stalls when a VTAM connection to PHOENIX/PREFERENCE enters a pending state. The VTAM session is attempting to connect to the application (OPNDST) when VTAM sends a LOSTERM notification. PHOENIX/PREFERENCE ignored the LOSTERM because the session is in OPNDST process. It was expected that OPNDST would fail and the session would be CLSDSTed ending the pending state. VTAM notified the application that OPNDST was successful. This caused the application to follow the wrong path leaving the terminal session in a pending state. Currently the communication between VTAM and TCP/IP is synchronous. When the terminal session entered the pending state, TCB/IP stalled because it was waiting for the terminal to complete the connect/disconnect process. With this change PHOENIX/PREFERENCE will process the LOSTERM rather than relying on VTAM to present a failed OPNDST. Action: Apply the following PTF. //S760023 JOB //FIX EXEC PGM=AMASPZAP, // PARM=IGNIDRFULL //SYSLIB DD DSN=GSP.LINKLIB,DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=X //SYSIN DD * * NAME GOALSYS FIXAPPL * VER 18 00 * REP 18 17 * * NAME GOALSYS CBEVTAMX * VER 31A6 91D1,3914 * REP 31A6 9151,3914 * CHECKSUM 140C14A2 * /* //
