Error description

  • You use a non-zero SOCKETCLOSE parameter on a URIMAP .
    Intermittently, you get the following message and dump:
    .
    DFHSO0001  DBDCCICS An abend (code 0C4/AKEX) has occurred at
    offset X'514A' in module DFHSOCK.
    .
    Here are three instructions near the abend0C4 in DFHSOCK:
    .
    offset
    ------
    005142 5810 8080
    005146 5880 1090 This is the failing instruction
    00514A 5810 1014 PSW points to this instruction
    .
    Here is the PSW:
    07852400 80000000 00000000 21C9114A
    Instruction Length:  4  Interrupt Code:  04
    Exception Address:  00000000_20000808
    Execution key at Program Check/Abend: 8     Addressing Mode:  31
    Space at Program Check/Abend: Basespace
    .
    Here are key registers:
    Reg1: 00000000_20000000
    Reg8: 00000000_00000000
    .
    The 5880 1090 instruction fails because Reg1 contains an
    address that is in the wrong key (key0).  Reg1 was loaded from
    low core +x'80' because Reg8 is all zeroes.  These instructions
    expect Reg8 to address the TXN control block.  These
    instructions are within the ESTABLISH_TIMEOUT section of
    DFHSOCK.
    .
    There is no TXN because this task is not a transaction
    environment.  There is no TXN or TCA .  The code in
    ESTABLISH_TIMEOUT wrongly assumes there is a transaction
    environment.
    .
    The abend0C4 is intermittent because sometimes low core +x'80'
    contains zeroes, or contains an address that is addressable in
    the correct key.

Local fix

  • Do not use a SOCKETCLOSE parameter on a URIMAP.  Or set a very
    large time in the SOCKETCLOSE parameter on each URIMAP.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend0C4 in DFHSOCK processing          *
    *                      URIMAP with SOCKETCLOSE(time)           *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: .                                            *
    ****************************************************************
    The CICS timer task calls DFHSOCK to process a SSL Socket
    whose socket close timer has expired.
    The task does not have a full transaction environment.
    DFHSOCK tries to access transaction state information, but
    does not check to see if that state information exists and
    suffers an 0C4 abend.
    Keyword: AbendS0C4.
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHSOCK has been changed to check the return code from a
    DFHXMIQI macro call to ensure that a transaction environment
    exists before using it.
