PI26655: THE JVM AND ASSOCIATED LE ENCLAVE TERMINATED BUT CICS STILL THINKS THAT JVMSERVER IS ENABLED AND TASKS ARE WAITING TO RU

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You have four transactions in a dead lock. Three of the
  transactions are waiting to obtain the JVMSRVLK lock and the
  other transaction is waiting to obtain the STLOCK.
  The owner of the STLOCK is a transaction without a TCA and is
  currently suspended in an LMQUEUE waiting to obtain the
  SJGLOBAL lock.
  The transaction owner of both the JVMSRVLK and SJGLOBAL locks
  is currently dispatchable waiting to run on T8 TCB. So why is
  this task unable to run on the T8 TCB for so long?
  Well the JVM and associated LE enclave have terminated but CICS
  still thinks that the JVMSERVER is enabled and that the T8 TCB
  is able to be used. The root of the problem is why the JVM went
  away.

  The initial pthread TCB for a JVMSERVER is unexpectedly abended.
  CICS has no recovery environment to intercept the abend of this
  TCB so no diagnostic message or dump information is produced.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JVM server initialisation module DFHSJPTI has been changed
  to establish an ESTAE exit when a JVMSERVER is installed and
  enabled. If the ESTAE exit is driven due to an unexpected abend
  of the initial pthread TCB, new message DFHSJ0005 is issued to
  report the error. DFHSJPTI will then attempt to take a system
  dump with dump code KERNDUMP. Diagnostic information from the
  SDWA will be saved into new pointers anchored from the
  sj_kernel_ipt_data block.
  
  The CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Version 5 Release 1
  CICS Messages and Codes Vol 2 ( GC34286200 ) will be updated.
  In Chapter 4, new message DFHSJ0005 will be added as follows :-
  
  DFHSJ0005  APPLID  AN UNEXPECTED ABEND HAS
             OCCURRED ON THE INITIAL PTHREAD TCB FOR JVMSERVER:

  SYSTEM ACTION:  CICS attempts to take a system dump with
