CPSM BATCHREP commands timeout with ENVIRONERROR REQTIMEOUT after changing system clock

Question & Answer


Question

You dynamically set the MVS system clock 1 hour forward and now your CICSPlex SM (CPSM) BATCHREP commands are timing out with response ENVIRONERROR and reason REQTIMEOUT. The MP CMAS held joblog output contains EYUXD0002I messages 1 hour later than the Time(hh:mm:ss) message insert. For example, if the message log system clock timestamp is 12.22.25, the time message insert displays as Time (11:22:25) one hour earlier.

Cause

The CICS time in each CMAS, which remained active during the dynamic change of the MVS system time, was not updated.

Answer

Do the following to reset the clock in each CMAS:

  1. Navigate to the CMASs known to local CMAS ( EYUSTARTCMASLIST.TABULAR ) view in the CSPM Web User Interface (WUI). You can navigate to this view from the main WUI menu by clicking CICSPlex SM Operations Views.

  2. Once there, click the check box to the left of all CMASs that need to reset their clocks and then click the Reset the internal CICS clock... action button as in the example below.



  3. The confirmation dialog will then display and you can either click the Yes action button...


    ...or if you select multiple CMASs on the EYUSTARTCMASLIST.TABULAR screen, you click the Yes to nn remaining.




If you are unable to access the WUI, you can also signon to the CMAS and enter a CEMT PERFORM RESET command in each CMAS that was active during a dynamic system clock change. Or, recycle each CMAS that was active during the system time change.

Note: Specify the CICS system initialization table (SIT) parameter AUTORESETTIME as IMMEDIATE to ensure the CMAS issues a PERFORM RESET at the next task attach.If the dynamic time change of the MVS clock occurs very near midnight local time and your CMAS has been correctly configured to specify the CICS SIT parameter value as Yes for the AUTORESETTIME, then CICS will automatically perform the internal reset of the CICS clock at midnight.
