PI70619: ABENDAWBM CCVWSDSH DEFINE PROCESS RESP=108 (X'6C' PROCESSERR) EIBRESP2=02 (PROCESS NAME ALREADY IN USE).

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Mulitple batch jobs are concurrently running to send API
  requests to the CICS CM Server.  Intermittently, some of the
  API requests fail with error messages (condensed):
  
  DFHWB0101 ...  CWBA The CICS Web Interface alias program DFHWBA
                 detected a failure in program DFHWBBLI ...
  
  DFHDU0203I ... A transaction dump was taken for dumpcode: AWBM
  ..
  DFHAC2236 ...  Transaction CWBA abend AWBM in program CCVWSDSH
  
  Examination of the EXEC INTERFACE BLOCK indicates that an
  EXEC CICS DEFINE PROCESS(PROCESS-NAME) failed with EIBRESP=108
  (x'6C' PROCESSERR) EIBRESP2=02 (process name already in use).
  
  CCVWSDSH (SOAP/HTTP dispatcher) defines a BTS process and
  constructs the PROCESS-NAME using a counter for uniqueness.  If
  the name counter server is not available, the program uses the
  EXEC CICS ASKTIME ABSTIME value to construct a pseduo-counter.
  However, ABSTIME is measured to the millisecond, and depending
  upon throughput and workload concurrency this may not ensure
  uniqueness.

Local fix

• Configure a CICS TS Named Counter server for use by CICS CM.

  Program CCVWSDSH (SOAP/HTTP dispatcher) defines a BTS process
  and constructs the PROCESS-NAME using a counter for uniqueness.
  If the named counter server is not available, the program uses
  the EXEC CICS ASKTIME ABSTIME value to construct a
  pseudo-counter.
  However, ABSTIME is measured to the millisecond, and depending
  upon throughput and workload concurrency this may not ensure
  uniqueness.
  

Problem conclusion

• Program CCVWSDSH is corrected to include the CICS transaction's
  task number in the PROCESS-NAME to ensure uniqueness.
