IEA360A
SEVERE BUFFER SHORTAGE FOR RETAINED ACTION MESSAGES - 100% FULL

Explanation

The action message retention facility (AMRF) is active, and the buffer area for the following messages is full:
  • Immediate action messages (with descriptor codes 1 and 2)
  • Non-critical eventual action messages (with descriptor code 3)
  • Critical eventual action messages (with descriptor code 11)
  • Write to operator with reply messages (WTORs)

System action

The system no longer retains non-critical eventual action messages. The system issues message IEA360A if console message buffers (WQEs) begin to back up.

When the WQE buffer shortage is no longer critical, the system deletes message IEA405E and IEA404A and issues message IEA361I. The system retains new immediate action and critical eventual action messages and keeps them in the common service area (CSA).

Operator response

Enter the DISPLAY R command to display the details of all outstanding immediate action and eventual action messages. Delete messages by:
  • Responding to messages requesting an action
  • Entering the CONTROL C command. See the z/OS MVS System Commands book for the syntax of the CONTROL C command.
If a shortage still exists, you might want to deactivate the AMRF by entering the CONTROL M,AMRF=N command.
