Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere MQ for z/OS Version 8 * * Release 0 Modification 0. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend S0C4 may occur in module * * CSQXSMFT at Channel Initiator * * startup. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** At Chinit startup, the Chinit SMF task is attached as an asynchronous TCB, but is dependent on some other storage initialization that may not have yet occurred. There is a race condition between the SMF task and mainline initialization where it's possible for the SMF task to attempt to access storage that has not yet been correctly initialized.
Problem conclusion
Synchronization has been added during Chinit startup to ensure that the necessary storage is initialized before being accessed by the SMF task. 000Y CSQXSMFT
