APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Customer is running with CHECKCLIENTCONN 5,5. During this
    process an abend4C5 occurs due to an invalid hash table.
    

Local fix

  • Remove CHECKCLIENTCONN from the Telnet Server profile. Then
    issue an Obeyfile command to rebuild the profile.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM Communications Server   *
    *                 for z/OS Version 1 Releases 12 IP:  Telnet   *
    *                 Services using CheckClientConn               *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND4C5 in EZBTTCCC when using         *
    *                      CheckClientConn                         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The problem may be summarized as followed:
    1. CheckClientConn is coded in the Telnet profile with
       small value specified for the maximum number of
       connections to be checked.
    2. There are more connections using the same IP address
       than the value specified on CheckClientConn.
    3. A new connection is established with the same IP address,
       thus driving the CheckClientConn logic to send timemarks.
    4. The number of outstanding timemarks already exceeds the
       value specified on CheckClientConn, so no more are sent at
       this time.  The ABEND4C5 in EZBTTCCC occurs when trying to
       free a reference, on a hash table, that was never obtained.

Problem conclusion

  • EZBTTCCC is updated to issue the HashTab FindComp only
    if it has already issued the HashTab FindAll.  Also,
    ConnToken is now cleared when HashTab FindComp is issued.
    Also, EZBTTCCC is updated to ensure that it does not send
    more timemarks, in one dispatch, than specified on
    CheckClientConn.
