Recovering from AREA and FAILSAFE actions

This section provides information about recovering from a situation where all dependent regions, input devices, or both have been waited, abended, or stopped as a result of AREA= or FAILSAFE= actions.

Actions that might cause you to begin recovery steps include the following:

• AREA=(ACTION=(WAIT | ABEND | STOP))
• FAILSAFE=(ACTION=(WAIT | ABEND | STOP))

where the ACTION keyword in the AREA control statement can be either CSTOPACTION, CSTARTACTION, OSTOPACTION, or OSTARTACTION.

The following information is a set of guidelines only. All possible steps to return an IMS system to normal processing are not covered. Rather, basic concepts are offered regarding actions to take after queue space usage has reached a critical state.
