PH62154: SESSIONS REMAIN ACTIVE EVEN THOUGH THE TASKS THAT OWNED THEM HAVE ENDED.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Tasks end yet the sessions that they own remain active.
  
  This leads to a build up of active sessions and eventually the
  CICS region needs to be recycled in order to free them off.

  ****************************************************************
  It is possible that IPIC sessions can remain active and
  associated to tasks which have ended.  This can happen when the
  client region has multiple server regions to co-ordinate the
  resolution of recoverable work at end of task.
  
  This issue arises as a result of the life of the mirror task
  being incorrectly extended past the life of the client task when
  the IPCONN definition specifies MIRRORLIFE(TASK).
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS has been changed so that the mirror task is correctly
  terminated when the client task ends.
