Error description

• CICS issued the message DFHMQ0119D after a CICS AOR goes down:
  
  
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  DFHDB8122I CICS is about to disconnect from DBCTL for CICS
  shutdown.
  DFHDB8123I CICS disconnection from DBCTL for CICS shutdown has
  completed successfully.
  DFHMQ0119D CICS detected an IRC failure. Cannot start
  transaction F0EH.
  DFHMQ0107 I A request to end CKTI has been received. CKTI ended.
  DFHMQ0392 I Stop requested for mqmonitor INITQ, transaction
  CKTI.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  
  When MROFSE=YES, CICS working as designed. This type of issue is
  not specific to CKTI. It can happen to any user transaction.
  
  The CKTI task cannot do very much about this when this situation
  happen other than reporting the issue via message DFHMQ0119D.
  
  When this type of issue happen, the DISTRIBUTED DYNAMIC ROUTING
  PROGRAM, in the customer case EYU9XLOP, could have decided of
  another action instead of returning a return code of 8 in
  DYRRETC (ABORT).
  
  When an AOR goes down, this should be handle by the DISTRIBUTED
  ROUTING PROGRAM and not by changing DFHMQTSK.
  
  An alternative is specified MROFSE=NO and allowed the mirror
  task to terminate and the session to be FREE. The next request
  will cause an ALLOCATE to the same AOR to failed which may be
  easier to be handle by the DISTRIBUTED ROUTING PROGRAM than the
  AZI4 abend and reroute the request to a different AOR.
  
  But MROFSE is set to NO.
  
  The mirror task is not terminating and freeing the session, in
  spite of the MROFSE=NO.

  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CKTI MQMonitor is stopped after         *
  *                      message DFHMQ0119D is received.         *
  ****************************************************************
  All CKTI MQMonitors in a CICS region are stopped when message
  DFHMQ0119D is issued because an attached AOR has become
  unavailable. The MQMonitors should not be stopped in this case
  as work can still continue to be processed in other AORs.
