PM46235: BIBUS DUMPS GENERATED WHEN BURSTING REPORT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• We are attempting to burst a report that needs to generate
  something in the range of 40000 outputs to the filesystem in 2
  languages.??The approach taken was to create 20 jobs of 2
  reports (in sequence) each, each job doing ~ 1/20 of the work.
  We would then launch the 20 jobs simultaneously (either manually
  or via another job) and we notice that depending on tuning
  settings it'll either complete successfully or fail. When it
  fails we get bibus dumps for anywhere between 12-15 of the BIBUS
  processes. Some of the reports do complete - most fail.??We want
  to understand why this is happening as the server this is
  running on appears to have adequate resources available.
