PI19423: TRANSACTION INITIATED VIA TRIGGERLEVEL, DELETES TDQ, ABENDS, THEN RE-INITIATES ITSELF EVEN THOUGH THE TDQ IS DELETED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Since migrating to CICS/Transaction Server R5.1, you have a
  transaction which is initiated via a TDQ with TRIGLEVEL 1
  receiving a record.  Upon initiation, the transaction
  deletes the TDQ and continues to process.
  
  If the transaction abends, it reattaches itself even though
  the TDQ shows as being deleted.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A TD triggered transaction which        *
  *                      abends is repeatedly restarted.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A TD queue triggered transaction which abends is reattached as
  though the RESTART parameter was set to YES even when it is
  actually set to NO in the transaction definition. This leads to
  an infinite loop of transaction attach, abend, transaction
  attach etc.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHRMRO has been changed so as explicitly to set RESTART to NO
  rather than only setting it to YES if yes is requested. This
  ensures that the parameter is correctly set and not affected
  by residual storage.
