Hi, I know that if CICS gets an unrecoverable error then it produces a dump and terminates the region. Sometimes, this procedure is completed in a reasonable time. But in most cases,this procedure is never completed forever , so we should kill the region manually. I.e. after produced a dump file , it never proceed any more , it never terminates the region , so i should kill the region(cicsstop -k REGION). In this case,it takes a longer time to re-start the region. Do you have any idea ? Thanks, dg.

Hi DG, >>But in most cases,this procedure is never completed forever , so we >>should kill the region manually. You need to raise this problem as a RETAIN entry with the following wording: "When a region terminates abnormally causing a dump to occur, the dump completes, but the region does not shut down. The only way to shut the region down is to use cicsstop -k." >>In this case,it takes a longer time to re-start the region. After killing the region using cicsstop -k, auto starting the region will take longer than for a normal shutdown. This is because the region needs to complete additional recovery such as handling transactions uncommited at the time the region was killed. Hope this helps, Helen and Gerry. | |||||
