    ****************************************************************
    A transaction accessing Websphere Operation Decision Manager
    abends AD3F with DB2 status 00F30018.
    The Websphere Operation Decision Manager starts a Java class
    in CICS JVMServer by linking to DFHSJJI. The Java class
    issues a number of DB2 calls and then syncpoints which
    results in the thread being disassociated from the TCB.
    At end of task syncpoint CICS tries to terminate the thread
    but this fails because it is not associated with the TCB,
    resulting in an abend AD3F.

Problem conclusion

  • DFHD2D2 has been altered to associate the CSB with the TCB
    prior to terminating the thread if it has previously
    been dissociated.
