Dumps when starting Started Tasks
Good morning, Yesterday we had an issue I'd like to share just in case someone has experienced it before. Sometime in the morning this piece of log appeared on syslog IEE501I CONSOLE UC4CN000 FAILED, REASON=ABTERM. ALL ALTERNATES UNAVAILABLE , CONSOLE IS NOT SWITCHED IEA631I OPERATOR UC4CN000 NOW INACTIVE, SYSTEM=CPUA, LU=UC4TR000 IEE828E SOME MESSAGES NOW SENT TO HARDCOPY ONLY Please notice this is not a "standard" console, it is somehow related to the product UC4 which is a Batch scheduler. We are still talking to support in order to know how this exactly works. The real problem was that from this moment no started tasks could be started, all of them crashed on start: START MVTASA.ST8005 $HASP100 MVTASA ON STCINRDR OMS9612I PROCESSING INIT (STC09784) IEF695I START MVTASA WITH JOBNAME MVTASA IS ASSIGNED TO USER STCSYS , GROUP STCGRP $HASP373 MVTASA STARTED IEA995I SYMPTOM DUMP OUTPUT 893 SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=602 REASON CODE= TIME=08.32.24 SEQ=09184 CPU=0041 ASID=008F PSW AT TIME OF ERROR 070C1000 80FEB316 ILC 2 INTC 0D NO ACTIVE MODULE FOUND NAME=UNKNOWN DATA AT PSW 00FEB310 - 00181610 0A0D 00FF6258 AR/GR 0: /8400 1: /84602000 2: 0181001D/ 3: /00F61100 4: /008FFBF8 5: /000AB76C 6: /89494736 7: /00FB8D00 8: /00FEA621 9: / A: / B: /008FECA8 C: /0041 D: /0BF00E78 E: /00FF0280 F: / END OF SYMPTOM DUMP IEA989I SLIP TRAP ID=X33E MATCHED.

Re: Dumps when starting Started Tasks
Only a guess, however this is what my first suspicion would be : (1) You have an ISV product that is detecting a new address or jobstep - (maybe via the IEFUJI or IEFUSI). (2) The ISV product exit is attempting to notify its associated server via a cross-memory post using an ASCB address stored somewhere in common storage. (3) It is possible your ISV product has terminated without cleaning up, leaving behind the exit and the common storage control block. (3a) It is also possible that the common storage block has been overlaid somehow without the ISV server terminating. (4) The exit is attempting to cross-memory post using bad (or out of date) information from the common storage control block. This would explain the S602 abends that you are seeing. Capture a dump and you should be able to find the address of the POST-issuing program. Rob Scott Lead Developer Rocket Software 77 Fourth Avenue . Suite 100 . Waltham . MA 02451-1468 .

Re: Dumps when starting Started Tasks
Hi Rob and Shane, Yes this is a "one-off" at least we hope it. In this shop they have some sort of policy in capturing dumps vs DASD space that I do not like to comment. Far beyond cranky feels more appropriate. Thanks Rob, that's such a nice first guess (I did understand your (1) ) But then, if they're not able to patch the program in order to clean all the mess and do not leave exits behind, is there something we can do to clean the Address ourselves. I can't think about anything "not dangerous".

You can remove dynamic exits (of which IEFUJI and IEFUSI are part) using the SETPROG EXIT command. But the above assumes that the product is, in fact, using them.

Re: Dumps when starting Started Tasks
Hi Elardus, A new version of the ISV program was installed about 6 months ago. We've just find out what made it crash (this time) and it won't happen again. No other changes were made, this is a very old shop, a z/os 1.4. What we are trying to do is (just in case some other thing makes it ABEND again and it leaves some garbage behind) have some kind of workaround before having to stop and IPL the LPAR. Thanks Rob, I'll chat with the product manager to see if your theory is possible and then study the SETPROG possibility.

Note, there is limited time window of "version coexistence" - time when you can order two versions of the software. Note GA (premiere) date of z/OS and COBOL need not to be synchronized.

Re: Accessing DASD areas that have no DSCB (UNCLASSIFIED)
If you deleted a dataset and the DASD is thin provisioned, it will recycle the tracks when the VTOC is updated, and the records are gone. If you deleted a dataset and RACF has Secure erase, the tracks are erased before the VTOC is updated. If you deleted a dataset and another dataset has allocated and written on those tracks, the data is destroyed when overwritten. If you deleted a dataset, and the three ways to destroy the data have not occurred, then you use Absolute Track allocation to re-allocate those tracks and read them. The DCB must match, along with directory entries.

Re: Dumps when starting Started Tasks
Sometimes EREP data can provide enough to distinguish the stomper from the stompees. Active PSW REGs and a few lines of failing module can be enough to see where it started. If it's vendor code they might have seen it before or know under what conditions it can be caused. The DB/2 folks were particularly adept in my opinion. Had one where all but the last few dumps had been purged for space, but the offender was the first one. Turns out a table had been dropped and recreated. When tried to reload it failed. REG 6? Oh, it had been extended on the fly. Just recreate the table, extend and then do the reload. Oh, OK-it worked. In a message dated 4/15/2014 2:59:41 P.M.
