Error description

  • After applying PH66032, JVMSERVERs with PRINT_JVM_OPTIONS=TRUE
    in their JVMPROFILE fail to enable. When attempting to be
    enabled, an 0C4 abend occurs and the following can be observed
    in the CICS job log:
    
    DFHSJ0216 A call to CELQPIPI with function code INIT_SUB has
    failed. (Return code - X'00000000' ).
    
    DFHSJ0210 IYCKZCEI An attempt to start a JVM for the JVMSERVER
    resource <JVMSERVER> has failed. Reason code:
    ENCLAVE_INIT_FAILED.
    
    This is caused by the following protection exception:
    
    CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception
    (System Completion Code=0C4). From entry point printHeader at
    compile unit offset +000000003457CE18 at entry offset
    +0000000000014960 at address 000000003457CE18.
    
    The CEEDUMP then demonstrates that an exception was thrown in
    printHeader:
    6     printHeader +0000E9B8     DFHSJSCL     Exception
    

Local fix

  • Setting PRINT_JVM_OPTIONS=FALSE in the JVMPROFILE will
    circumvent the issue.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users with UO07339 or UO07998       *

    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: JVMSERVERs with PRINT_JVM_OPTIONS set   *
    *                      to true fail to enable after applying   *
    *                      PH66032.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    When a JVMSERVER is attempted to be enabled with
    PRINT_JVM_OPTIONS=YES set in the JVMPROFILE, the JVMSERVER fails
    to enable and results in the following errors in the CICS job
    log:
    
    DFHSJ0216 A call to CELQPIPI with function code INIT_SUB has
    failed. (Return code - X'00000000' ).
    
    DFHSJ0210 IYCKZCEI An attempt to start a JVM for the JVMSERVER
    resource <JVMSERVER> has failed. Reason code:
    ENCLAVE_INIT_FAILED.
    
    This is caused by the following protection exception which
    occurs when attempting to display the JVM options:
    
    CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception
       (System Completion Code=0C4). From entry point printHeader at
       compile unit offset +000000003457CE18 at entry offset
       +0000000000014960 at address 000000003457CE18.
    

Problem conclusion

  • UO07339 UO07998
    
    CICS has been updated to prevent the protection exception caused
    by setting PRINT_JVM_OPTIONS=YES to ensure the JVMSERVER can
    enable successfully.
