Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• For tasks that have disabled RLIM using the KOCRMCLL API,
  RLIM was changed to issue message OC8902 when a WARN threshold
  is reached, and issue new message KCP8903I when a KILL
  threshold is reached. The task will not be killed by RLIM.
  
  After this maintenance is applied, the change will take effect
  when an OMEG RECYCLE is issued in the CICS region or when the
  CICS region is recycled.
  
  The following message has been added to the product:
  
  KCP8903I HH:MM:SS  BYPASSED ABEND "<ABCODE>" DUE TO
           <RESOURCE DESCRIPTION>: TRANS=<TRANID>,
           TASKNO=<TASKNO>, USER=<USERID> - RLIM OFF
  
  Explanation: The CICS task has exceeded the resource KILL
               threshold; however RLIM has been disabled for
               this task using the KOCRMCLL API, for example it
               is executing under the CICS Debug Tool.
  
  System action: The task will not be killed by RLIM and this
                 message will not be issued again for this
                 resource while RLIM is disabled.
  
  User response: When a task is executing under debugging tools,
                 such as the CICS Debug Tool, it is expected
                 that some resource thresholds could be
                 exceeded. Typically no User Response is
                 required.
                 Correct the application or increase the limit
                 value in the Global Data Area, if appropriate.
