Error description

• MQ QMR received an ABN=052-00000102

  abend which has led to the stalling of checkpointing
  by the queue-manager.
  The problem occurs when there is an indoubt unit of
  work in CICS involving MQ, and CICS instructs the
  queue-manager to commit or backout. The queue-manager
  aborts or commits the unit of work, and then starts
  deallocation processing for the thread structure control
  blocks.

  *                      The error can also lead to the          *
  *                      checkpoint processor hanging,           *
  *                      preventing any further checkpoints      *
  *                      being written to the recovery logs.     *
  *                      This can result in various symptoms     *
  *                      when the queue manager is restarted     *
  *                      including:                              *
  *                      - extended restart times                *
  *                      - Abend 5C6-00E20004 in CSQSVBK, and    *
  *                        queue manager startup failing         *

  *                        queue manager startup failing.        *
  *                      In some cases the lack of checkpoints   *
  *                      in the recovery logs can require the    *

  ****************************************************************
  A timing window exists such that CSECT CSQ3RIS0 may attempt to
  terminate an agent being terminated by CSECT CSQ3RIA0 or
  CSQ3RIM0 during resolve indoubt processing. This results in
  the agent structure being used by 2 different threads, leading
  to the reported symptoms.
  

Problem conclusion

• The timing window has been eliminated such that a thread will
  not be terminated while resolve indoubt processing is running.
