Abend 0C4 in ISTAUCTM in segment SET
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All using Enterprise Extender connections. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND0C4 occurs in ISTAUCTM * * while processing an EE liveness * * timer SET invocation. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The problem is summarized as follows: 1) The EE timer processing module, ISTAUCTM, was dispatched and scheduled lines for liveness processing. 2) Each line dispatched and sent a Test LDLC command to the partner. The liveness (TL) timer is cancelled and the retry (T1) timer is set. 3) No responses from the EE partners arrive before the EE timer module runs again (approximately 500 ms later). 4) ISTAUCTM was dispatched again, and removed all of the liveness timers that were cancelled from the liveness queue. 5) Subsequently, a new liveness timer was being set for a new connection. 6) An ABEND0C4 occurs in the SET routine of module ISTAUCTM. This occurs because the next liveness (HTMBK) to process on the liveness queue has an unexpected NULL (previous) timer chain pointer.
Problem conclusion
ISTAUCTM - The SET routine has been corrected to handle this timing scenario.
