Description of Issue: When logging LSMR003I, LSMR014I or LSMR015I errors for a long RUN TASK/JOB command, the error message may get truncated inappropriately. The Connect:Direct Java Application Interface (CDJAI) fails with a KQVString.parse() exception when retrieving this message in a Select Statistics command.
Description of Fix: Reworked the code that does the statistics logging for these error messages. A long command value will be truncated and preceded with "..." for the &EXE substitution data as needed, ensuring balanced double-quotes. The full sysopts will now be logged in the correct field (SOPT instead of SFIL). In addition, the OS error of the failure will now be logged in the feedback code.
As a side fix, an issue for was resolved, where the user's profile and environment was not unloaded after LSMG249I occurred.

4.6.0.2_iFix014: RTC347170 / APAR IC88148
Description of Issue: A PNODE Delete/Flush Process command does not delete an executing PNODE process until the process' SNODE Run Task step completes.
Description of Fix: Modified Connect:Direct’s usage of the Microsoft Winsock facilities, enabling the SMGR to immediately receive instruction messages from the PMGR.
For users of the Connect:Direct Command Line Interface (CLI Direct.exe), please note:
The CLI’s DELETE PROCESS command is required to remove an executing (EXEC) process from the queue. Additionally, one of the HOLD or FORCE arguments to the DELETE PROCESS command must be set to YES. For example,
DELETE PROCESS FORCE=YES; /* Delete executing process from the queue */
DELETE PROCESS HOLD=YES; /* Delete executing process and place it in the HOLD queue */
The default for both FORCE and HOLD is NO. Therefore, at least one must be specified and set to YES in order for the process to be deleted when using the CLI. The DELETE PROCESS command is described in the Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows System Guide.

4.6.0.2_iFix016: RTC368138
Description of Issue: Adding support for importing initialization parameters during the installation.
Description of Fix: A new installer property CD_INITPARMS_FILE has been added to Advanced\cd_srvr.ini. It can be used to specify an initialization parameters file for import during an installation. This is similar to the existing properties CD_USERAUTH_FILE and CD_NETMAP_FILE for importing user and netmap configuration files.
The CD Configuration Utility (CdConfig.exe) has been enhanced to support exporting and importing initialization parameters files. To perform the operation in silent mode, use the following commands:
CdConfig.exe /Q /PInitparms.cfg /* Export */
CdConfig.exe /Q /I /FInitparms.cfg /LCdConfig.log /* Import */
Make sure the service is stopped before running an import. Also note that the node "name" and "server.path" initialization parameters cannot be changed and will be ignored during the import.
