     THESE ABENDS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY OEM PRODUCTS.  TO DETERMINE
     THE PRODUCT CAUSING THE ABEND, LOOK AT CVT X'C4' WHICH POINTS
     TO THE SMCA.  SMCA X'7C' POINTS TO THE OFFENDING MODULE.

      FOR ONE USER THE PROBLEM OCCURED AFTER MVS/ESA 313
      (WORKED IN 310) AND R14 POINTED TO MODULE EBCSMFEP 1.1
      COPYRIGHT 1989 ESSENTIAL SOFTWARE INC.  EBCSMFEP IS PART
      OF SAR EXPRESS AND USER WAS ABLE TO GET A FIXING ZAP FROM
      GOAL SYTEMS.  EBCSMFEP WAS LOCATED IN THE CSA AND USER
      HAD TO IPL MVS TO GET THE FIX TO TAKE. USER MAY REFERENCE
      FIXES EP011006 AND EP011007 WHEN CONTACTING GOAL SYSTEMS.
      (GOAL SYSTEMS AND ESSENTIAL SOFTWARE ARE ONE AND THE SAME).
      OTHER USERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR SYMPTOMS WITH REG14 POINTING TO
      OEM MODULES FROM CA CANDLE (OMEGAMON) OR BEI SYSTEMS.
       IN ALL CASES, THE USER NEEDS TO DETERMINE WHERE REG14
       IS POINTING AND CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE VENDOR FOR THAT
       PRODUCT.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    REORG UTILITY ABENDS WHEN 'SORTDATA' OPTION IS USED.
    USER ATTEMPTS A REORG WITH THE PARM 'SORTDATA' AND
    RECEIVED MSGDSNU044I AND MSGDSNU016I RC00E40005.
    SYNCSORT appears to be complaining about the parms being
    passed to it.  If user adds SORTDEVT and SORTNUM parms to
    the REORG then it runs successfully.  If either parms are
    missing, it fails.

    WHEN AUTOMATIC JOB RUNS TO OFF LOAD THE ARCHIVE LOG, FAILURE
    WILL ONLY HAPPEN IN DB2 WITH DYNAMIC ALLOCATION.  THEY GET TO
    THE POINT WHEN NO MORE TAPE DRIVES ARE AVAILABLE AND THE ONLY
    MESSAGE RECEIVED IS:  MSGIEF244I, UNABLE TO ALLOCATE UNIT.
    USER WAS EXPECTING TO SEE MSGIEF290E AND MSGIEF238D FOLLOWING
    THE MSGIEF244I.  DB2 APPEARS TO BE LOOPING.
    ...
    IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THE USER WENT TO MVS 4.2.2, MESSAGES NOW
    CAN BE SENT TO THE OPERATOR'S CONSOLE WITH TWO LINES.  THE OEM
    PRODUCT WAS LOOKING FOR ONE LINE ONLY WHEN IT INTERCEPTED THE
    WTO.  THIS IN TURN CAUSED A LOOP PROBLEM IN DB2.
    ...
    OEM VENDOR/PRODUCT:  ZAP LEVEL IS BP22519 FOR THE ACTIVITY

    S0C1 low-core in the DBM1 address space.  PSW addr=80000004
    and dump title references DSNYECTE.  R1 points to an RLPL,
    R6 contains an EB address, R14 points to IEAVEGLU.  This
    follows the cancel of a DB2 BIND job.  DB2's FRR was purged
    which prevented the SYNC with IRLM during the abort/deallocate
    of the cancelled BIND job.  ABEND0C1
    Computer Associates fix G015297 for CA90 ACF2 ENF created
    to prevent purging of DB2's FRRs.

    Candle Corp. Omegamon fix QO2B161 corrects a problem that can
    cause the monitor to terminate with ABEND04E RC00D93011.  Other
    symptoms are possible because the problem involves the oem code
    doing an invalid resume against an execution unit that DB2 had
    suspended and the exact results of this unexpected resume are
    not predictable.

    Symptoms:  abend0c4 in dsn3id00   x'176' (per ABEND-AID dump)
    sys1.logrec shows 0c4 in DSN3@ATH.  Problem occurs after
    migrating to Top Secret Rel. 4.3 from Prev. Top Secret Rel.
    ..
    Solution:  Top Secret Rel. 4.3 no longer requires ++USERMOD
    in order to run DB2 sample Auth. exit (DSN3SATH).
    User had to backout (reject/restore) Top Secret ++USERMOD
    before compiling DSN3SATH.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    OEM Strobe applications monitor tool indicates DB2 has high
    cpu usage of pc stack/unstack module ieavxstk:
    -----
    This is not a bug.  It is not a bug in Strobe, DB2, or
    cross memory services.  IBM db2, cross memory services, and
    Dallas Systems Center are all aware of the high cpu usage and
    there is no 'future fix' planned for this usage.
    -----
    DB2 architecture makes extensive use of cross memory services.
    DB2 DSNZPARM option on panel DSNTIPJ allows the selection of
    PC=NO or PC=YES.  PC=NO option will result in a reduction of
    cpu usage at a cost of increased ECSA virtual storage.
    PC=YES will cause increased cross memory activity and
    CPU utilization.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    OEM Strobe applications monitor tool indicates DB2 has high
    cpu usage of MVS Timer Services module ieavrt05:
    -----
    This is not a bug.  It is not a bug in Strobe, DB2, or
    MVS Timer Services. IBM DB2, MVS, and Dallas Systems Center
    are all aware of the high cpu usage and there is no
    'future fix' planned for this usage.
    -----
    DB2 Accouting Trace Class 2 will cut an IFCID 121 record
    when DB2 is entered from an application and an IFCID 122
    record when DB2 completes processing and returns control
    to the calling application.  In each case, the IFCID 121
    and IFCID 122 records are followed by a call to Timer
    Supervisor module IEAVRT05 for a timestamp.  This results
    in the High CPU usage seen in IEAVRT05.
    Specifically, a program executing a large number of SQL
    statements, either a singleton SELECT (or DML) in a
    DO LOOP or an OPEN CURSOR followed by a FETCH in a DO LOOP
    will cause many calls to ieavrt05 (where many rows are
    returned to a program, one at a time).
    This can also be seen where the SQL statement is not very
    complex, in other words, not very CPU intensive.  Also
    high cpu usage in ieavrt05 can be seen where the program
    does not spend a lot of time processing rows retrieved
    from DB2.  In other words, class 1 CPU time is not much
    greater than class 2 CPU time.
    -----
    In general, only turn on Accounting Trace Class 2 to
    investigate a problem, or collect information on a new
    program going into production.

    Problem: If you are reorganizing a DB2 V3 compressed tablespace
    and you restart the reorg during the reload phase, the first
    spacemap may not be updated correctly to indicate which pages
    are used for the compression dictionary.  After the Reorg, if
    DB2 tries to insert rows at the beginning of the tablespace, it
    may try to use the dictionary pages, which would cause DB2
    errors with 00C90101 and 00C90105 reason codes.
    Resolution: Platinum Rapid Reorg, Versions P404AA-AF, and
                P411AA-AC             Dated: Oct. 6, 1995

    of CA-1/TMS or CA/TMS. TMS provides a TMSINIT job which is to
    be run on each CPU. If it is not, this error may occur because
    of a tape label problem. Check if the TMSINIT job has been
    run properly.

    db2 archive goes to dasd, when the system zparm dsn6arvp is
    set to cart or tape:
    Problem:  archives going to DASD instead of Tape.
              Symptoms may include ABEND013 and/or MSGIEC141I.
    Solution: OEMs intercepting/modifying allocation requests.
    
    POOL DASD - forces every allocation specifying SPACE parm
                to DASD.
    VAM   - need new release for ESA 4.2
    
    SMS   - ACS routines override allocation - key off if the space
                parameter and assume dasd.
