Error description
When you are running a Java application and an abend happens at the end, the CICS recovery environment which was added still remains active. At this time there is nothing done to remove the extra recovery environment. Each abend then leads to another ESTAEX call being issued. This call creates an SCZB control block from LSQA storage and leads to the ABEND 878-10. Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): ABENDAJ04 AABENDAJ05 KIXREVRJL

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend 878 due to buildup of SCB control * * blocks. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When running a Java application in CICS and an abend of the application occurs, because the eis_recovery_switch has been set when in the JVM server and nothing will ever turn the switch off, this leaves an extra CICS recovery environment in effect. When the Java program has ended the T8 TCB it was running on will be returned to the pool waiting for another request but now has one more recovery enviroment than it should. This leads to a build up of SCB control blocks in LSQA and eventually the abend878.
Problem conclusion
DFHABAB has been changed to ensure if it is a JVM server that is abending it does not add an additional recovery environment.
