Thanks for all the responses, here's what's been found. We opened a pmr with IBM and sent the dumps over. IBM's summary response is the last paragraph.
We made a subtle change in our automation package that we believe caused this problem. The change was to start two BIM-VSHARE start-up tasks for 2 cics regions simultaneously rather than being single threaded. This was the only change made in our system before this problem occurred. Although this should not cause a problem we believe this is what is causing the problem so it's been backed out. We will find out this weekend. IBM SUMMARY RESPONSE In summary, the problem is SP252 storage gotten below the line by Fantom Systems, Inc. module BIMVSROP has exhausted storage below the line in multiple address spaces, as SVCDUMP1 and SCVDUMP2 show the same problem in the PTXMAN and RMFGAT address spaces. I recommend you contact Fantom Systems for further analysis of why this growth occurred. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Mark Zelden Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 3:18 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: GETMAIN Error At IPL On Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:53:53 -0400, Dazzo, Matt <mda...@pch.com> wrote: >We have been running on zos1.9 for 6 weeks with no issues until 2 weekends ago.

The following weekend the same thing happened, I had ops re-ipl with load clear option and the system came up with no problems. CA is now referring us to another vendor saying they saw another vendors module in the dump of GSSA. I'm trying to circumvent chasing vendors. > >My question is, has anyone else had these problems running zos 1.9 on Z890-A04. There have been no system or vendor software upgrades since the z19 upgrade. Search of the archives did not show anything fairly recent. > z/OS 1.9 for 6 weeks or z/OS 1.10? I just wanted to make sure because if this was z/OS 1.10 I would point you to APAR OA27291 and to DIAGxx to see if anything was coded for VSM USEZOSV1R9RULES.
