Error description
Improvements to CICS task purge/forcepurge when in DB2, CICS will issue a DB2 cancel thread before issuing the purge.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A CICS-DB2 task has a thread stuck in * * DB2, this thread should be cancelled * * before the CICS task is purged. * **************************************************************** Should a user need to purge a CICS task which has a thread in DB2 the recommendation is to cancel the DB2 thread before the CICS task is purged. However it is possible to purge the CICS task before cancelling the DB2 thread. This leads to the possibility of calling DB2 while it is in a 'must complete' state that may lead to a DB2 failure. Additional keywords: -cancel thread
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
CICS purge processing has been changed to cancel the DB2 thread as part of the CICS purge processing, should the thread be in DB2 at the time of the purge. To exploit this function you will also need to apply DB2 APAR PI92893. ×**** PE18/10/03 FIX IN ERROR. SEE APAR PH03569 FOR DESCRIPTION ×**** PE20/01/27 FIX IN ERROR. SEE APAR PH21486 FOR DESCRIPTION
