PM79111: CSKP FAILURE DOES NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DFHAC2016 24/09/2012 04:07:45 CXS4FSI2 TRANSACTION CSKP CANNOT
  RUN BECAUSE PROGRAM DFHRMXN3 IS NOT AVAILABLE.
  The previous message is sent in case of problem on DFHRMXN3 ,
  but it is a general message sent for user transaction, not for
  system tasks.
  This message is not assigning the real importance of the
  failure.
  Without activity keypoint, the log trimming is not performed and
  DFHLOG can go in a full condition.

  In the reported problem, there were library issues within the
  CICS DFHRPL concatenation causing an absence of CICS module
  DFHRMXN3.  This module is used by system task CSKP for system
  log management.
                                                                 .
  When CSKP ran, a program_not_loadable condition was detected
  by DFHACP who then issued message DFHAC2016 which is of a
  generic nature.  A message reporting a program_not_loadable
  condition for DFHRMXN3 should be unique and accompanied by
  an *EXC* trace entry, system dump and messages to the console
  and CSMT.

Problem conclusion

• DFHACP has been modified. If DFHRMXN3 cannot be loaded it will:
  Issue a new trace point of:
                                                                 .

  Write a new message ( DFHAC2058 ) to CSMT and SYSLOG.
                                                                 .
  Issue a Sysdump with a Dumpcode of AC2058.
                                                                 .
                                                                 .
  The following message will be added to the CICS Transaction
  Server for z/OS V5 R1 Messages and Codes manual ( GC34-2861-00 )
                                                                 .
  DFHAC2058 date time applid  A severe error has occurred.  System
            task CSKP was unable to run because program DFHRMXN3
            could not be loaded.
                                                                 .
  Explanation: The Activity Keypoint Task CSKP attempted to run
  but was unable to do so because program DFHRMXN3 could not be
  loaded.
                                                                 .
  Possible reasons for this are:
  1. The library containing DFHRMXN3 is missing from DFHRPL.
  2. DFHRMXN3 is missing from a library in the DFHRPL.
                                                                 .
  System action: CICS writes an exception trace entry, takes a
  system dump and writes message DFHAC2058 to the console and
  CSMT.  CICS will continue processing but system log management
  will be severely compromised.
                                                                 .
  User response: It is strongly recommended CICS is shut down.
  Investigate why DFHRMXN3 could not be loaded and restart CICS
  when the problem is resolved.
                                                                 .
