  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • PLTPI program runs and encounters an error so it issues EXEC
    CICS PERFORM SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.  Transaction CPLT hangs in
    DFHSTP because there are non-system tasks running that were
    started by PLT programs. DFHCESD the shutdown assist program
    is actioned but DFHSTP ataches transaction CESD with a DFHIC
    TYPE=PUT with INTRVAL=0. This would normally start CESD with
    no delay, but DFHICP will not action this ICE since CICS is
    not initialized.

    ****************************************************************
    The customer had CPSMCONN=LMAS in their CICS startup, and so
    EYU9NXSM was driven and issued an EXEC CICS START ATTACH for the
    CONL transaction during PLTPI processing. Having started this
    non-system task, the CPLT transaction then invoked a second PLT
    program. This issued an EXEC CICS PERFORM SHUT IMMED command.
    DFHSTP received control, but the shutdown could not proceed
    because of the long running CONL task. DFHSTP issued a DFHIC PUT
    to start CESD, the CICS shutdown assist transaction. However,
    DFHICP was unable to start CESD since ICE expiry logic in
    ICINXPDN checks whether initialization has completed before
    honouring an expired ICE.
    KEYWORDS: SDTRAN SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE CPSM ICP STP
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHICP has been modified to allow an expired ICE to initiate a
    shutdown assistance transaction if one is attempted to be
    started during system startup.
