553

Explanation

System management facilities (SMF) detected that the SMF timer queue element (STQE) chain was in error.

A hexadecimal reason code in register 15 explains the error:
Code
Explanation
04
The forward pointer of an STQE contains zeroes. The system produces an SVC dump, and SMF repairs the STQE chain.
Note: Repairing the STQE chain results in the loss of some STQEs. Therefore, some tasks no longer provide SMF interval recording.
08
The STQE chain points to an element that is not an STQE.
Note: Repairing the STQE chain results in the loss of some STQEs. Therefore, some tasks no longer provide SMF interval recording.
0C
The backward pointer of an STQE contains zeroes. The system produces an SVC dump, and SMF repairs the STQE chain.
Note: Repairing the STQE chain results in the loss of some STQEs. Therefore, some tasks no longer provide SMF interval recording.

System action

The SMF timer program ends, and the system produces an SVC dump.

Operator response

Notify the system programmer. You can re-establish SMF interval recording for a specific task by restarting that task. Consider restarting tasks for which SMF interval recording is required. However, if you must re-establish SMF interval recording, but you can't determine which tasks to restart, reIPL the system.

System programmer response

Check error messages and the SVC dump produced as a result of any previous abends. Check for any previous abend code X'0C4' that might indicate a storage overlay has occurred. If there is no previous abend code X'0C4', search problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.
