Upgrading from eLink TCP 3.x
If you are upgrading to Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP 11gR1 from eLink TCP 3.x, perform a new installation of the product. You will need to edit the UBBCONFIG, DMCONFIG, and GWICONFIG files. Refer to configuration information in the Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP 8.1 Online Documentation.
Note:
Upgrading from eLink TCP 3.x to Support Data-dependent Routing
To support the data-dependent routing, some additional restrictions were placed on the contents of the GWICONFIG file.
In prior releases, no restrictions were placed on the naming of the entries in the NATIVE and FOREIGN sections of the GWICONFIG file. Beginning with the eLink TCP 3.2, each entry in the NATIVE section of the GWICONFIG files must have a corresponding entry with an identical name in the DM_LOCAL_DOMAINS of the DMCONFIG file. Each entry in the FOREIGN section of the GWICONFIG file must have a corresponding entry with an identical name in the DM_REMOTE_DOMAINS section of the DMCONFIG file.
Because service routing is now determined by the contents of the DMCONFIG file, services in the LOCAL_SERVICES section of the GWICONFIG file no longer need to be tied to NATIVE entries in that file. As a result, the NATIVE keyword is no longer valid for entries in the LOCAL_SERVICES section. Services are now tied to local domains in the DMCONFIG file, by specifying the corresponding LDOM in the service entry in the DM_LOCAL_SERVICES section, or by applying default service assignment rules.
For the same reasons, services in the REMOTE_SERVICES section of the GWICONFIG file no longer need to be tied to FOREIGN entries in that file. As a result, the FOREIGN keyword is no longer valid for entries in the REMOTE_SERVICES section. Services are now tied to remote domains in the DMCONFIG file, by specifying the corresponding RDOM in the service entry in the DM_REMOTE_SERVICES section, or by using a routing statement to specify data-dependent routing, or by applying default service assignment rules. For information about configuring data-dependent routing using the ROUTING command, refer to the Oracle Tuxedo documentation.
Known Problems
The JCL provided for linking the CICS requester (LNKIBM, LNKINT) may cause problems on some system configurations. In IBM APARs II10227 and PQ19993, it is recommended that when linking with the SEZACMTX and SCEELKED libraries, SEZACMTX be ahead of SCEELKED in the SYSLIB statements, as follows:
//SYSLIB DD ...
// DD DSNAME=hlq.SEZACMTX,DISP=SHR
// DD ...
// DD DSNAME=hlq.SCEELKED,DISP=SHR
// DD ...
The JCL provided does not conform to this recommendation. You may need to edit the provided JCL before linking the requester, as shown in the following example of a SYSLIB section:
//SYSLIB DD DSN=CICS.SDFHLOAD,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=&TCPLIB,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=SYS1.SEZACMTX,DISP=SHR
// DD DSNAME=SYS1.SCEELKED,DISP=SHR
Fixed Problems
This section describes known problems from previous releases of Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP that have been fixed with the current release of the software. The following table lists a bug number for each problem.
