IC92577: TOO MANY RETRIES ON CDSA UNTER 5.2.4.1 AT RACF001I AND OTHER PERSISTENT ERRORS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The CDSA will short retry also on persistent errors, which
  leads to unnecessary use of system ressources.
  

Local fix

• STRTC - 377143
  FS / FS
  
  You can temporarily get relief by doing fewer short retries in
  general, if that is possible, or change the system business
  process "CDInterop_BeginSessionWithLoop" to quit the short
  retry loop on certain return codes in field CallbackMessageId.
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  B2B Integrator 5.2
  Problem Description:
  In 5.2.4.1, the Connect Direct Begin Session Service continues
  to retry connection operations in response to receiving
  RACF001I from the remote host.  The retry operation continues
  until all configured retries have been exhausted. This behavior
  is different to the earlier versions of SI.
  Platforms affected:
  Unix/Linux
  Windows
  iSeries
  

Problem conclusion

• Resolution Summary:
  The Connect Direct Begin Session Service no longer retries
  connection failures which require configuration changes to
  remedy. For example when a RACF001I (User not defined) status
  is received during the authentication phase of the connection
  request, the service will (correctly) fail instead of retrying.
