IJ57175: MISCELLANEOUS ROLL UP FOR CICS EXPLORER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR includes fixes to various defects identified in CICS
  Explorer 5.5.0.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• - In relation to Security Discovery, wWhen a generic profile
  was converted to a member list and all members were
  subsequently removed, the system displayed an incorrect error
  message stating that a profile can only be deleted if it has no
  proposed members. This was misleading, as the real issue was
  missing data in the Security Data Discovery (SDD) file.
  - By default, the CICS Cloud perspective is enabled.
  

Problem conclusion

• - In relation to Security Discovery, additional validation
  checks have now been added.  If any required section of the
  SDD file is empty, such as the transaction mapping, the user
  will be presented with a clear error message explaining that
  the generic profile cannot be deleted due to missing data in
  the SDD file.
  - A new capability has been introduced which controls the
  visibility of all User Interface (UI) elements that relate to
  CICS Cloud, Platforms and Applications.  By default the CICS
  Cloud perspective is now hidden.  Users who need to use CICS
  Cloud can turn the capability back on by going into Window >
  Preferences > General > Capabilities and enabling CICS Cloud.
  - IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty has been updated to
  25.0.0.9.
  .
  This fix will be made available in Version 5.5.49 (34.0.8) of
  the CICS Explorer.
