DFS3971 UNABLE TO PROCESS FAST PATH DUE TO EMH SHORTAGE

Explanation

IMS was unable to obtain an Expedited Message Handling (EMH) buffer for the size requested to process the Fast Path transaction.

System action

IMS rejects the Fast Path transaction and sends this message to the terminal user.

System programmer response

Determine the current EMH buffer usage. Stop or close terminals and sessions that currently have EMH buffers but do not need them. This action frees EMH buffers for use by terminals and sessions that require them.

The next time you restart IMS, increase the EMH buffer pool definitions for the buffer sizes needed.
