3401

Explanation

An error during the initialization of a new TCB in the IMS Database Recovery Facility address space prevented the TCB from starting. Register 15 at the time of abend contains a subcode that can be used to determine the reason for the abend. Abend code 3401 subcode meanings are described in the following list:
X'01'
FRXSYIN$ could not establish an ESTAE recovery routine.
X'02'
A request to obtain a stack block for the TCB initialization failed.
X'03'
IMS Database Recovery Facility BPE could not initialize the BPE internal dispatcher for the new TCB.
X'04'
A lower-level TCB initialization module could not complete initialization because of an error or unexpected condition.
X'05'
IMS Database Recovery Facility BPE could not create an internal server that runs under the new TCB.
X'06'
IMS Database Recovery Facility BPE could not load a lower-level TCB initialization module, and therefore could not complete the initialization of the new TCB's environment.

System action

If the TCB being created is not a required TCB, the IMS Database Recovery Facility address space continues to function; otherwise, the IMS Database Recovery Facility address space is ended abnormally.

User response

The problem is one of the following:
  • An internal error within IMS Database Recovery Facility BPE or IMS Database Recovery Facility.
  • An environmental error, such as missing modules in your STEPLIB data set, or a storage shortage in the address space.

Messages that further explain the reason for the error might precede this abend. See the job log output from the failed job for explanatory messages.

If you cannot determine and correct an environmental cause for the problem, save any dump and SYSLOG information, and contact IBM® Software Support.
