PI54513: IMS STALL OR HANG MAY OCCUR

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There are a couple of scenarios where IMS may stall or hang.
  1. If all policies for an IMS system are removed while auditing
  events are being captured, there is a very small likelihood that
  this could cause an IMS system hang.
  2. If BMPs or MPPs are cancelled or abended in the midst of
  capturing an audit event, there is a very short window where
  this could lead to an IMS System hang.
