ASPA

Explanation

The task was purged before a request to recovery manager (RM) domain was able to complete successfully. The domain that first detected the purged condition provides an exception trace.

System action

The task is abnormally terminated with a CICS transaction dump. If processing is at a point where data integrity might not be maintained, CICS is abnormally terminated.

User response

Investigate why the task was purged. This is either as a result of a purge from the main 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 main 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.

If CICS is abnormally terminated, it should be emergency restarted to ensure that data integrity is maintained.
