    should;

    allowed to continue until a 4th abend;

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All OMEGAMON XE for IMS on z/OS V5.1.0       *
    *                 and V4.2.0 using ATF                         *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Improvements to ATF recovery so         *
    *                      that ATF abends are not percolated      *
    *                      to IMS, and diagnostic information      *
    *                      is collected.                           *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    If ATF code abends, ATF collection is turned off, and may
    not generate any diagnostic information such as a dump.
    Some abends may also be percolated to IMS.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The ATF recovery routines have been changed to prevent the
    percolation to IMS.  Dumps and diagnostic data will be
    produced for ATF, and ATF will turn itself off to prevent
    further dumps.
