Technotes

You share printers among several CICS regions. If one particular CICS region acquires the printer when the region first comes up, the printer will never be released. If you use CEMT to release the printer, the printer then works properly. It will acquire when there is a print task, and release the connection when requested.

Square bracket conversion in DFHCNV fails for ASCII data sent by a Java™ program to CICS.

You experience hangs in the logger address space and the CMAS. The logstreams for the CMAS are off-loading to DASD.

A connection has been established between two CICS regions using a VTAM advanced program-to-program communications (APPC / LU62) connection. The connection can only be made if initiated from one side. If the other side restarts the CICS region, AUTOCONNECT does not work, even though AUTOCONNECT is coded on both sides.

You receive message DFHWB1009 CICS Web environment initialization failed. Reason Code: X'0A'. This occurs after removing group DFHWEB from the GRPLIST to remove unneeded capability such as the Web. You do not want to initiate Web support for this CICS region to save processing time and storage.
