Error description

  • You are getting a DFHDS0001 An abend (code 04F/AKEX) has
    occurred at offset  X'0F8E' in module DFHDSDS3.  After you
    get the AKEX abend, CICS is terminated with a KERNDUMP.
    We also learned that the subsys is down at the time of the
    dump, so there are no thread-related control blocks for subsys
    at time of the CICS DFHDS0001 dump.
     We see the TERMINATE failed with '00F30805'x which says the
    CICS-DB2 connection has terminated.

    This is similar, but not the same, as APARs PM54748 and PM79809.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CICS terminates after the D2 TCB        *
    *                      is abended 04F by DB2                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    CICS terminates when the D2 TCB is abended 04F by a DB2
    subsystem while attempting a terminate thread request
    for a protected thread following an unsuccessful DISSOCIATE.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The CICS code has been changed to bypass the DISSOCIATE
    TCB after a terminate thread request has failed because
    CICS is no longer connected to DB2.
