DFHEX0111 EXCI SDUMP attempted but SDUMP is busy - will retry every five seconds for nnnn seconds.

Explanation

At the time of the MVS SDUMP request issued by DFHXCDMP another address space in the same MVS system was in the process of taking an SDUMP. This causes MVS to reject the new request. A nonzero value for the dump retry parameter in the DFHXCOPT table means that the external CICS interface waits five seconds before retrying the SDUMP request. If necessary, the external CICS interface retries every five seconds for the total time specified on the retry parameter.

System action

The external CICS interface issues an MVS STIMERM macro which causes it to wait for five seconds. The request is reissued when the delay interval has expired.

User response

None.

Module
