Error description
After IPL of the LPAR the CMAS and the MAS's are started. The TOR region tries to connect to the CPSM workload but this fails with the messages EYUWI0082E and EYUWM0401E. The CMAS trace shows the following exception trace entries: WMQB WMQM WMWC WLM EXCP 4 BUF2SML CPSM CMASTC91 CMAS WMQM WMWC WMWC WLM EXCP 13 WMQMWMQB CPSM CMASTC91 CMAS WMWC XLOP WMWC WLM EXCP 16 WMWCWMQM CPSM CMASTC91 CMAS
Local fix
Use the COSH and COLM transactions to stop and restart the CPSM agend code or recycle the routing region.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlex SM V4R2M0 Users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Messages EYUWI0080I, EYUWI0082E and * * EYUWM0401E will be issued by a CMAS * * when it attempts to import a workload, * * if the workload has an active affinity * * of lifetime PERMANENT, SYSTEM, PROCESS * * or ACTVITY. * * * * The text of the messages will be * * similar to the following: * * * * EYUWI0080I WLM Workload query process * * for context (<plexname>) * * has been started - * * directed to CMAS * * (<cmasname>). * * * * EYUWI0082E WLM Workload query process * * failed for context * * (<plexname>) - directed to * * CMAS (<cmasname>). * * * * EYUWM0401E Workload Specification * * (<wlmspecname>) failed to * * install for * * context(<plexname>) - * * initiated by join of * * router (<torname>). * * * * Examination of the auxtrace dataset for * * the CMAS that issued the messages will * * show the following exception traces: * * * * Method Caller TPID Debug text * * ------ ------ ---- ---------- * * WMQB WMQM 4 BUF2SML * * WMQM WMWC 13 WMQMWMQB * * WMWC XLOP 16 WMWCWMQM * * * * Even though message EYUWM0401E * * indicates that the workload failed to * * install, and the routing region for * * which the import was performed will * * fail to join the workload, the workload * * will be partially installed. * * Additionally, routing regions started * * under the CMAS after the import failure * * will join the workload, including the * * routing region that failed to join the * * workload at the time of import, if it * * is restarted. This can result in * * invalid routing by these routing * * regions. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this * * APAR, all CMASes must be restarted. Note * * that the restarts do not need to occur at * * the same time. * * * * Note that if any CMAS has exhibited the * * symptoms of the problem, it will be * * necessary to terminate not only that CMAS, * * but all MASes and batch API programs that * * connect to it, to ensure that the partial * * workload has been removed from that CMAS. * * The EYU9XENF utility can be used to check * * which MASes and batch API programs are * * connected to the CMAS. * * * * For details on the EYU9XENF utility refer to * * "CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Version 4 * * Release 2 CICSPlex SM Problem Determination" * * (GC34-7203-xx). * **************************************************************** When a CMAS imports a workload from another CMAS, the CMAS that exports the workload fills a queue with records that define the workload. This queue is then returned to the importing CMAS, where method EYU0WMQB (WMQB) reads the records from the queue and calls various other methods to process them. If an affinity of lifetime PERMANENT, SYSTEM, PROCESS or ACTIVITY is active at the time of the export/import, then the exporting CMAS will add a WLMAFFET record for each of those affinities to the queue. For CPSM V4R2M0, the size of the WLMATTEF record has increased from X'AC' to X'10F'. However, WMQB was never updated to reflect this change. Instead, it attempts to read the WLMAFFET record into a buffer that is too small. This causes the import to fail at that point.
Problem conclusion
Copybook EYURWRKQ, which defines the workload records that are delivered in the export/import queue, has been updated to set a new equate with the maximum length of the queue records. WMQB has been updated to use this new equate as the buffer length when requesting records from the queue.
