ERROR DESCRIPTION:
See OW46303.
One day a job on Initiator-A received abend522, then the
next job on this Initiator-A received abendA78-1C. Every job
which then runs in this Initiator receives abendA78 rc1C until
the Initiator is stopped (drained).
ABENDA78 RC1C RSN1C ABENDSA78 ABENDS522
LOCAL FIX:
Stop (drain $PI(A)) Initiator-A, then restart it.
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Systems running JBB3313 thru JBB6604. *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Repeated ABENDA78-RC1C abends *
* experienced by batch jobs going *
* through termination. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
Repeated ABENDA78-RC1C abends in an initiator address space.
A DIV map is left outstanding which causes any subsequent
subpool freemains that encompass the mapped storage to
fail. This is a FINREVERSAL of APAR OW24818.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Change the Initiator's recovery, IEFIB620, to terminate for
ABENDA78 abends.
TEMPORARY FIX:
Stop (drain $PI(A)) Initiator-A, then restart it.
