AETH
Explanation
The task was purged before a request to the storage manager (SM) domain was able to complete successfully. The domain that first detected the purged condition will have provided an exception trace.
System action
The task is abnormally terminated with a CICS transaction dump.
User response
Investigate why the task was purged. This is either as a result of a purge from the master terminal operator via the CEMT transaction, or by the task being timed out after waiting for longer than the DTIMOUT (deadlock timeout) value specified for the transaction.
If the master terminal operator purged the task, this may have been in an attempt to clear the system which appeared to be deadlocked for some reason.
If the task was timed out automatically as a result of the DTIMOUT value being exceeded, this may be due to insufficient main storage being available for the number of tasks in the system. If the amount of main storage cannot be increased, reduce the number of tasks in the system to avoid short-on-storage situations. Another possibility is to increase the value of the DTIMOUT option for the transaction.
