Re: AW: Re: Wtrln.: Are those SSRV trace entires relate to the I/O interrupt?

  ICYDIE is Media Manager's  Disabled Interrupt Exit  for I/O interrupts, 
I would guess that ICYDIE called an exit owned by the caller of
Media Manager, and that exit did the RELEASE for some unit of 
work that it had PAUSEd to wait for the I/O to complete.  From the 
SSRV 11F trace entry, 1EE5C3D6 is the return address for the 
RELEASE.  You may be able to look at that in the dump to see 
who it is.  DB2 is one possibility.

Thanks, Jim. 


Can you say something about when they occur and when not? Just curious because 
I see them most of the time in this dump but only occasionally in other dumps, 
it seems.

 Yes, they are part of the I/O interrupt processing, and are not related
to the interrupted program (unless the I/O operation that caused
the interrupt is related to the interrupted program) .

Wtrln.: Are those SSRV trace entires relate to the I/O interrupt?

2018-12-13 Thread Peter Hunkeler
Agrrr.. Sorry for the misformatted mail. Trying again.



  
 I'm chasing another problem where an LE program (COBOL) gets into an endless, 
rather tight loop in CEEPLPKA after an S04E abend  I'm trying to understand the 
relation between I/O interrupt system trace entries, and a pair  of SSRV 
entries that very often follow the I/O entry.


Here is a sample sequence from the trace: 


0003 031C 009FEA30  DSP_0872C4B6    26C62364 
0003 031C 009FEA30  EXT   TIMR _0872BFAE  1005 
0001 031C 009FEA30  DSP_0872BFAE    26C62364 
0001 031C 009FEA30  I/O  06B16 _0872C2C8  00104007 745786C0 
0001 031C 009FEA30  SSRV   11F  9EE5C3D6  16701A80 8000 157A25F8 
0001 031C 009FEA30  SSRV   150  02F5F020   7EB06940  


The program is dispatched (DSP), interrupted at end of time slice (EXT TIMR), 
dispatched again (DSP), then interrupted by an I/O which completed (I/O). Very 
often, two system service calls (SSRV), first for RELEASE (SSRV  115), second 
for DFSMS Media Manager ICYDIE (SSRV 150) are seen. 


First I thought the SSRVs are related to the program, but I now have my doubts. 
I'd rather think they are caused by I/O interrupt handling. Especially, since I 
have seen such sequences in another dumps, although much  less often. 


Can anyone say something about the nature of those SSRV calls. 
Am I safe to say they do not belong to the problem at hand?
