Evaluate the private storage usage in the IMS control region or the DLISAS region to ensure that unused storage is not being allocated or a process is not looping in acquiring storage. If this message continues to occur, create a console memory dump of the IMS CTL and DLISAS regions by using the MVS DUMP command with SDATA=(CSA,PSA,RGN,SQA,SUM,TRT), then call IBM® Software Support.
