APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • You are using transaction routing into CICS over an IPIC
    connection.  What you have happening is your IPCONN is
    disconnecting and is not reconnecting.  You would expect to see
    messages DFHIS2009 (released) and DFHIS2001 (acquired) but do
    not.  Using the CEMT INQ you see your IPCONN is in an acquired
    (ACQ) state.  TSO NETSTAT command shows the IP socket has
    closed but again the IPCONN still shows as acquired.
      You also start seeing messages:
    DFHIS1021 Session error occurred on RECEIVE IPIC session in
    IPCONN.
    DFHIS1015 Unable to accept connection for IPCONN ipconn. IPCONN
    client session state is invalid. Error code is (code X'0515').
      Your internal CICS trace table shows:
    SO 0E01 SOUS  EVENT - ASYNCIO_EXIT RETURN_VALUE(-1)
                   RETURN_CODE(140)  REASON_CODE(76697242)
    SO 0E20 SOUS  *EXC* - PEER_DISCONNECTED   RETURN_VALUE(-1)
                  RETURN_CODE(140) REASON_CODE(76697242)
    The connection is closed and you see
    IS 0906 ISZA  DATA  - IS7  ERROR  sense code X'08640001'.
    .
    CICS is failing to recognize the closed IP socket and recover
    the IPCONN

    ****************************************************************
    CICS region contacts with another system via IPIC. Transaction
    routing request arrives in CICS and CISR is resumed to handle
    it.
    The related application task then gets resumed to run. It issues
    a synchronous web receive for the rest of the request but fails
    because the socket has been closed. To handle this exception,
    CICS tries to resume the CISE task by adding this error session
    into the CISE error queue, but this fails because the session
    token used is null. Therefore, the IPIC connection can not be
    released and remains in ACQuired status.
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHISSR has been changed to make sure CISE can be notified if
    the synchronous web receive failed because of the session
    disconnection.
