Unexpected DE2 behaviour after installing aXes 2.1 if a particular IBM PTF is not installed
There have been reports of unexpected behaviour when installing or using DE2 on V5R4M0.
For example:
- The following message may appear after installing aXes 2.1.
Message ID . . . . : CPI32A6 Severity . . . . . . . . : 60
Message Type . . : Information
Sent Date . . . . . . : 11/07/29 Sent Time . . . . . . : 05:08:34
Message . . : Request 1 ，Type 2 Cross-Reference notification 8151
- DE2 screen freezes when attempting to display file columns and eventually an error XHR status 12031 is shown.
Both these issues can be resolved by applying IBM PTF SI43347 for V5R4.
Refer to the following PTF Cover letter http://www-912.ibm.com/a_dir/as4ptf.NSF/b3cb9d42f672b70f86256739004afa0f/72793a5f460a5a1a8625787e005da981?OpenDocument
If you encounter the issues above or any other variations of unexpected behaviour using DE2 or aXes 2.1, the first troubleshooting step should be to get to the latest PTF level, and in particular ensure that PTF SI43347 has been applied.
