PK38293: INTERVAL CONTROL TRANSACTION IS ATTACHED DURING SHUTDOWN EVEN IF DEFINED SHUTDOWN(DISABLE)

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Apar PQ77762 applies to all transactions, not just those
  associated with terminals, the possibility to define a
  transaction SHUTDOWN(DISABLE/ENABLE) : it allows (or remove) the
  possibility that task is attached during shutdown.
  During shutdown a no-terminal transaction, defined as SHUTDOWN
  (DISABLE) and started via EXEC CICS START , was attached because
  DFHEIIC checks for SHUTDOWN(ENABLE/DISABLE) option during the
  ICE generation, even if it should be done during ATTACH.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Attach of non-terminal transaction,     *
  *                      defined as SHUTDOWN(DISABLED), occurs   *
  *                      after CEMT P SHUT IMM has been issued.  *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A task is initiated with a start interval. The transaction is
  defined with SHUTDOWN(DISABLED). Before the task is attached
  the CICS system is shutdown immediately. The task gets attached
  because the SHUTDOWN(DISABLED) setting is not being honored.
  This is caused because ATTACH, validate_trandef processing, does
  not check SHUTDOWN(DISABLED) for non-terminal tasks.

Problem conclusion

• DFHXMAT has been changed to check the SHUTDOWN setting for
  all tasks. If it is DISABLED and PERFORM SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
  has been issued the task will not be ATTACHED and message
  DFHAC2007 will be issued.
