| APAR IV23328 | |
|---|---|
| Problem Description |
CUSTOMIZED COLUMNS ARE NOT CONSISTENTLY MAINTAINED WHEN CHANGING CONNECTIONS. |
| Problem Summary |
When using various views to show resources, the behaviour of customize columns and reset columns varies in a non-obvious manner. The preferences are not always stored with the expected connection state and a user starting CICS Explorer may not find the columns they expect. Changing to a new connection or disconnecting may also provide unexpected columns. Reset columns behaviour also varied depending on previous changes to the connection or state. |

| APAR IV22012 | |
| Problem Description |
CNX0594E: ERROR BAD REQUEST(400) |
| Problem Summary |
Error Description You have the CICS Explorer connected to a 4.2 Server and have sorted one of the columns in a view. You disconnect from the 4.2 server and then connect to a 4.1 server. When you select a scope for the data you want to view, you receive a CNX0594E: Error Bad Request(400). This is because the CICS Explorer has remembered that the column was sorted and automatically sends a sorted request to the 4.1 server which does not support Sorted results. The CICS Explorer should detect that it is connected to a 4.1 server and not send a sorted request. Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): KIXREVWJB |
