Error description

  • During abnormal termination of a WebSphere servant region, a
    secondary S0C4 ABEND was encountered by the JVM.  The servant
    region was on its way down due to an SEC3 RSNC9C2198F ABEND,
    
    which produced an SVCDUMP, and was caused by

    while trying to register the Resource Adapter with the
    Synchronization Manager for the current transaction, and threw a
    ResourceException. com.ibm.ejs.j2c.RRSGlobalTransactionWrapper
    ------------
    A second SEC3 RSNc9c20008 ABEND and SVCDUMP was generated, but
    then the SOC4 abend in the JVM was detected, and produced a
    third  SVCDUMP.
    
    IP STATUS from the third SVCDUMP showed:
       PSW: 07850401 80000000 00000000 792B3138
       Instruction length: 06   Interrupt code: 0010
       Failing instruction text: 0000A779 0000E360 60000004
       Translation exception address: 0000004B5E9FE800
    
    The translation exception address was determined to be pointing
    into the (now freemained) STACK storage for the TCB which
    encountered the original error in Method addSync.
    
    At the time of the SOC4, this TCB has exitted - and all native
    storage has been released - but the JVM still thinks it is
    active.

    ****************************************************************
    The Websphere Application server for z/OS' servant region
    encounters a secondary 0C4 abend(ABENDS0C4, ABEND0C4, or 00C4)
    with reason 00000010 during abnormal termination.
    The dump shows the following information:
    Program id: 5655I3500
    Load module name: CBSERIES
    Csect name: CBSERIES
    System abend code: 00C4
    Abend reason code: 00000010
    Recovery routine csect name: BBORLEXT
    The 0C4 might happen if a thread attempts to traverse
    the thread's stack frame that is no longer available. For
    example, the dump might show the thread experiencing the
    condition to doing the following:
    Traceback:
    DSA      Entry
    1        walkJNICallInFrame
    2        walkStackFrames
    3        getStackTraceForThread
    4        RUNJAVATHREAD
    5        javaProtectedThreadProc
    ...
