Problem summary

    * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DFHDS0002 with code x'0204' can occur   *
    *                      for a CJSL task.                        *
    ****************************************************************
    Changes introduced by new diagnostics gathering capabilities
    for the JVMSERVER resource mean that the CJSL task will run on
    an L8 TCB with ABTERM allowed.
    If the task needs to suspend for an internal CICS lock, this
    will be failed with DFHDS0002 with code x'0204' since ABTERM
    allowed is on.

Problem conclusion

  • DFHSJDM and DFHSJL have been updated to ensure that:
    
    The CJSL transaction will run on the QR TCB and then switch to
    the TP TCB for the JVMSERVER.
    
    The CJSS transaction will run on the QR TCB and then switch to
    an L8 for the USS script processing used to gather diagnostics.
