Recovery actions

Periodically monitor for SYSZATR RESTART resource contention with the DISPLAY GRS,CONTENTION command. If you detect contention, Follow the action specified in the system logger service return and reason codes shown in message ATR248E or ATR249E. See the IXGWRITE return and reason codes in z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Reference EDT-IXG.

If the action in the return and reason code does not resolve the contention, or if you cannot detect the cause of the contention:
  1. Capture a dump of RRS, system logger, and GRS on the system that is holding the resource.
  2. Recycle RRS on the holding system to free the resource.
Note: If the issue that causes the holder to hang persists, the resource contention can continue until the issue is resolved.
Search problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, report the problem to the IBM® Support Center and provide the dump, system logs, and formatted LOGREC data set. (A symptom record is created on the system experiencing the failure and stored in the LOGREC data set.)
