Problem conclusion

  • The CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Messages and Codes
    manual Version 3 Release 2, GC34-6827-02, should be
    amended as follows:
    
    AFCV
    
    The last bullet in the user response should read:
    
    o   It may be possible for RLS deadlocks to be reported as
        RLS timeouts if VSAM does not perform deadlock detection
        until after the time out value for the request occurred.
        For example, assume that DEADLOCK_DETECTION is specified
        as (15,4) in SYS1.PARMLIB, member IGDSMSxx. This means
        that VSAM does not attempt to detect cross-MVS deadlocks
        until 4 periods of 15 (that is, 60) seconds have
        elapsed.  If DTIMOUT was not active for the transaction
        and the SIT specified FTIMEOUT=30, the RLS request times
        out after 30 seconds, before VSAM has attempted to
        detect cross-MVS deadlocks.  Adjust FTIMEOUT, DTIMOUT,
        and DEADLOCK_DETECTION to avoid such effects.
    
    ****************************************************************
    
    APCW
    
    The user resonse should read:
    
    The program source needs to be converted and compiled with a
    Language Environment conforming COBOL compiler such as
    Enterprise COBOL.
    
    ****************************************************************
    
    APCZ
    
    The explanation should read:
    
    An attempt has been made to run either an 'old-style'
    application program (that is, a program with a
    pre-release 1.6 or a DFHE program stub), either having been
    link-edited with the RENT or REFR attributes. These types of
    programs are not reentrant and therefore cannot be loaded
    into read-only storage.
    
    ****************************************************************
    
    ASOB
    
    The explanation and module should read:
    
    EXPLANATION:  Sockets domain has encountered a locking
    error while attempting to issue a lock.
    
    MODULE:  DFHSOCK
    
    ****************************************************************
    
    DFHAM4911
    
    Change the explanation to read:
    
    Transaction "tranid" was successfully installed but
    at least one of the specified aliases (ALIAS,
    TASKREQ or XTRANID) failed to be installed because it
    already exists as a primary transaction, and this includes
    the current transaction.
    
    ****************************************************************
    
    DFHFC0555
    
    Change the user response to read:
    
    Lost locks recovery normally completes automatically
    without requiring any action from the user.
    However, if there are shunted units of work which had
    updated a data set with lost locks status, these prevent
    lost locks recovery from completing until they are resolved.
    Use the INQUIRE UOWDSNFAIL command to investigate these
    shunted units of work.
    
    If lost locks recovery appears to be taking a long time, you
    can compare the output obtained by issuing the IDCAMS SHCDS
    LISTSUBSYS(ALL) command at different intervals, to determine
    what progress has been made.
    
    See the  CICS Recovery and Restart Guide  for guidance
    on resolving shunted units of work which hold RLS retained
    locks.

    DFHSI1250
    
    Change the user response to read:
    
    Check the return code in the "DFSMStvs Administration Guide",
    and restart CICS.
