Error description

  • In the end of day Dispatcher Statistics the field 'Total
    Requests delayed by Max TCB Pool Limit' contains a value,
    although 'Peak Requests delayed by Max TCB Pool Limit' is 0.
    Also the field 'Total TCB Mismatch wait time' has a value,
    when 'Total Number of TCB Mismatch waits' is 0.
    UK03441 addresses the problem in DELETE_TCB routine, this APAR
    addresses the same problem in FREE_TCB routine.

    In the end of day Dispatcher Statistics the fields 'Total
    Number of TCB Mismatch waits', 'Peak TCB Mismatch waits' and
    'Total TCB Mismatch wait time' contain large values even though
    the number of OPEN TCBs used is 0.
    DFHDSIT incorrectly attempts to gather statistics for the CQ
    TCB when executing the FREE_TCB iproc and in doing so
    overwrites the fields: 'Total Number of TCB Mismatch waits',
    'Peak TCB Mismatch waits' and 'Total TCB Mismatch wait time.'

Problem conclusion

  • DFHDSIT has been altered in iproc FREE_TCB so that it will not
    go through the statistics update for the CQ TCB.
