Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

  CICS stack and invoke recovery.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Tasks executing in a JVM server may     *
  *                      remain in the system after a            *
  *                      DISABLE JVMSERVER PURGETYPE(KILL)       *
  *                      is performed.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  Following a kill command against a JVMSERVER,
  DISABLE JVMSERVER PURGETYPE(KILL)
  tasks that were executing in the JVM at the time it
  was quiesced may remain in the CICS system.
  The CICS dispatcher will continue to show these tasks in
  a running state, under a T8 TCB. That TCB is no longer
  executing within the address space.
  The tasks can still be displayed by CEMT INQUIRE TASK, even
  after CEMT INQUIRE JVMSERVER shows that the JVM server has
  reached the Disabled state.
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS has been updated so that tasks executing in a JVM server
  at the time it is killed will be recovered to the QR TCB,
  and will then abend.
  The JVMSERVER resource will not reach the DISABLED state
  until all the affected tasks have begun to abend, and the count
  of tasks remaining in the JVM server has reached zero.

  - A task has been recovered from a JVM server onto the QR TCB
    following a KILL against the JVM server.
  .
  Abend ASJR
  - DFHSJJS was invoked by a caller running within a JVM server.
    While the request was being processed, the JVM server
    terminated. DFHSJJS is not able to return control to the
    caller in the usual manner.
