Unsuccessful sign-on—PV connection

Figure 1 shows the expected flows between a PEM client and CICS PEM server during an unsuccessful sign-on on a PV connection.
Figure 1. Unsuccessful sign-on—PV connection. This is the expected sequence of events:
  1. The session between the PEM client logical unit and the CICS PEM server logical unit is established.
  2. The PEM client gathers data, and sends data for the sign-on program request to the server, requesting a reply. The request flow contains BB, CD, FMH5, and data.
  3. The CICS PEM server ignores the security fields in the FMH5. It processes the data to issue the sign on (or sign on with changed password). The request fails.
  4. The server does not add the user to the signed-on-from list. If the user is already on the list, the user is purged from it, and a signoff is scheduled.
  5. The server sends the error reply and deallocates the session. The reply flow contains CEB and data.
  6. The client receives and processes the reply.
  7. The user is not added to the signed-onto list.
This figure illustrates the expected flows for an unsuccessful sign-on with a PV connection
Note: CICS schedules sign-off against the PEM client if a sign-on request for a userid fails, and that user is in the PV signed on from list. In this case, CICS sends the sign-off transaction program output data to the PEM client, where it is processed and the userid removed from the PV signed on to list.
