Error description
IBM Explorer for z/OS - zExpl v3.1.15 When you attempt to open an MVS file if the hostcp for the MVS Properties is not set then an abend 0C4 may occur in FFSJNI. The RSECOMM.log will have an entry like this: INFO:MVSFileSystemMiner:handleCommand - C_GET_MEMBER_ATTRIBUTE for TEST.JCL ERROR: MVSFileSystemMiner: com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.FFSException: 2048 0 196 4 81 CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception (System Completion Code=0C4). com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.FFSJNI.closeConverter (Native Method) com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.filesystem.impl.FFSServerImpl. closeConverter(FFSServerImpl.java:324) com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.EncodingCache.init (EncodingCache.java:91) com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.MappingArg.setHostCp (MappingArg.java:158) com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.MappingArg.<init> (MappingArg.java:80) com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.MappingArg.<init> (MappingArg.java:63) com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.MVSFileSystemMiner. handleGetMemberAttribute(MVSFileSystemMiner.java:5304) com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.MVSFileSystemMiner. handleGetMemberAttribute(MVSFileSystemMiner.java:5289) com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.MVSFileSystemMiner. internalHandleCommand(MVSFileSystemMiner.java:925) com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.MVSFileSystemMiner. handleCommand(MVSFileSystemMiner.java:700) org.eclipse.dstore.core.miners.Miner.command(Miner.java:336) org.eclipse.dstore.core.miners.Miner.handle(Miner.java:244) org.eclipse.dstore.core.model.Handler.run(Handler.java:135) MVSFileSystemMiner: FFS error: severity=8, msgNo=2048, opcode=0, rc=196, reason=4, message=CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception (System Completion Code=0C4)., results=
Local fix
Be sure that the Host Code page is set for MVS files.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: 01.All zExpl and IDz users * * 02.Users who query MVS filesystem where the * * query encounters certain error condition * * 03.zExpl users using Host Configuration * * Utility Guide * * 04.Those who view host user logs * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01.A memory protection exception 0C4 * * ABEND happens. * * 02.The MVS miner when retrieving the * * datasets, for example as in * * browsing the filesystem, may * * encounter error and the program is * * terminated with multiple CEE dumps * * with OC4 abend. * * 03.Utility Guide instructs the user to * * go to /usr/lpp/IBM/zexpl/bin to run * * IVP, which can result in failure * * 04.Excess tracing * **************************************************************** 01.When a user attempts opening an MVS file, if for some reason the hostcp mapping for the member is absent, then an abend 0C4 may occur in FFSJNI. 02.When the program exits, in the cleanup routine by its condition handler, the attempt to free an invalid internal data structure (dyn_t) may cause repeated CEE dumps with OC4 abend. 03.Utility Guide instructs the user to go to /usr/lpp/IBM/zexpl/bin to run IVP, which can result in failure. Host Configuration guide has the correct steps. 04.Excess tracing
Problem conclusion
01.In the unlikely event that a hostcp mapping is absent, it gets set to the default encoding for the host. 02.It's an logic code error and happens only in certain error uncommon condition. A flag to mark the valid status of the internal data structure is introduced for a proper free condition check. 03.The IVP panel is updated so it can run directly from the panel, avoiding the faulty instructions 04.This reduces some of the trace messaesg
