A specific fix for this item is not yet available electronically This record will be updated with a link to the fix if the APAR is new. For APARs older than 365 days, contact your support center. APAR status Closed as program error. Error description In console restructure, below the line WQE buffers should be dechained and freed as soon as they have been processed by all receiving consoles. WQEs for foreign WTORs however, will remain on the WQE chain until some event initiates queue cleanup (for exapmle responding to a local WTOR). Additional symptoms: IEE889I message output may indicate buffers in use that do not appear queued to any console. The message will reflect these buffers as messages coming from other systems. Local fix Respond to a local WTOR to initiate queue cleanup. Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All JBB7727 environments and above * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Message buffers for WTORs issued on * * remote systems may not be released * * locally, resulting in WQE buffer * * shortages. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the appropriate PTF. * * * **************************************************************** Message buffers for foreign (ie. originating from another system) WTORs are not freed even after the messages are displayed on all receiving consoles. The CURR field of the DISPLAY CONSOLES command output indicates the number of message buffers currently in use. This value will increase for every foreign WTOR. Problem conclusion Console processing has been updated to free message buffers when the message has been queued to all receiving consoles.
