RRSF ESTAE processing

z/OS Security Server RACF Diagnosis Guide
GA32-0886-00

ESTAE or ESTAI processing occurs when MVS™ detects an abnormal end during processing of a task within the RACF® subsystem address space.

The actions indicated here are normally done internally by RACF itself. However, in some cases, a manual RESTART command might be necessary.

The following is done during recovery processing:
  1. If the task that failed had not abended during recovery processing:
    1. If the task is initializing:
      1. The task terminates to clean up its resources.
      2. Another attempt is made to re-create the task.
    2. If the task is processing an item:
      1. The queue of waiting work is preserved.
      2. The current task is marked as being in recovery processing.
      3. In-use resources for the current item are freed.
      4. The current item is restarted.
    3. If the task is terminating, termination continues and the abend is ignored.
    4. If the task that failed is in recovery processing:
      1. Resources in use for the task are released.
      2. If the failure occurs when processing the same item for the second time, the item is deleted and output to be returned to the originator is created.
      3. The task that has failed is restarted.
