Load of shared libraries (built with Micro Focus Server Express COBOL objects) fails

[Ravi_8]

Hi,
11i running on rp5470, having June 2003 GOLD patches.

After installing the patch PHSS-26560, C shared objects built with Micro Focus Server Express COBOL libraries fail to load due to symbol resolution problems. Following is the error message we get while trying to load the object,

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: cicsprCOBOL (code) from /tmp/cicsprCOBOL; error 215

Please note that these programs were all working perfectly fine before installing the patch, PHSS-26560.The shared object itself is created using a C langauge program and the Micro Focus Server Express COBOL runtime libraries, and loaded by another C program using shl_load/dlopen calls.

does anybody has the solution

The quick solution is:

swremove PHSS_26560

If the problem goes away, you may need to report that patch as a problem causer.

I am assuming there is a reason why you can't back out that patch?

this is fixed in the latest linker/loader patch, PHSS_28869 (11.00) / PHSS_28871. you will have to relink the library with the latest linker (it does not require the latest loader to work properly though).

didnt complete that - PHSS_28871 is for 11.11.
