Connection to the host fails with an unexpected exception RSEG1056U

Troubleshooting


Problem

Upon connecting to the host from WebSphere® Developer for zSeries®, a RSEG1056U message appears: Connect to failed with an unexpected exception With tracing enabled for Remote Server Explorer® (RSE) on the host, a more detailed error would appear in rsecomm.log: ERROR FFSServerImpl: com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.FFSException: 2048 0 0 0 "CEE3512S An HFS load of module libicudata32.0.dll failed. The system return code was 0000000157; the reason code was 0BDF019B.

Symptom

A RSEG1056U message pops up, saying:

Connect to <hostname> failed with an unexpected exception


When tracing is enabled for Remote Server Explorer® (RSE) on the host, a more detailed error appears in the rsecomm.log:

ERROR FFSServerImpl: com.ibm.ftt.rse.mvs.server.miners.FFSException:  
2048 0 0 0 "CEE3512S An HFS load of module libicudata32.0.dll failed.
The system return code was 0000000157; the reason code was 0BDF019B.

A similar error about the module libicudata32.0.dll might appear in the SYSLOG:

OMVSKERN IEW4004I FETCH FOR MODULE libicuda FROM DDNAME --HFS--- FAILED  
BECAUSE
OMVSKERN INSUFFICIENT LSQA STORAGE WAS AVAILABLE.                        
OMVSKERN CSV034I PGMF FETCH FAILED FOR THE REQUESTED MODULE.            
OMVSKERN RETURN CODE 14, REASON CODE 26110003                    
OMVSKERN PATHNAME =

OMVSKERN CSV028I ABENDE06-0140  JOBNAME=OMVSKERN  STEPNAME=STEP1

Cause

There is a memory storage problem when trying to load libicudata32.dll.

Resolving The Problem

To enable tracing on the RSE component on the host, refer to the RDz Knowledge Center, specifically this item:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSQ2R2_9.5.1/com.ibm.guide.cookbook.doc/topics/whitepaper_211.html?lang=en

Troubleshooting tips
The following areas should be checked.
  • Verify MAXASSIZE has 2147483647, by executing d OMVS,O from SDSF. If the MAXASSIZE is not at 2147483647, the value can be set without having to IPL by running the command SETOMVS MAXASSIZE=2147483647.
  • Verify the REGION size. If INETD is started by JCL using BPXBATCH, region size must be 0. If INETD is started from a TSO/OMVS session, the TSO region size must be 2096128.
  • Verify that there is not a user exit, such as IEFUSI, that is restricting how much storage a user can run with.
  • Verify that the IEFUI exist was modifying the amount of region (RLIMIT_AS) by following these steps:
    1. Run jdkiv to verify the value of RLIMIT_AS
    2. Issue the SETSMF command to turn off IEFUSI for OMVS:
      • The command would be:
        SETSMF SUBSYS(OMVS,(IEFwhatever except IEFUSI))
        to disable IEFUSI for OMVS
    3. Rerun jdkiv and recheck the value of RLIMIT_AS. If it has changed, the IEFUSI exist has modified the storage amount available.
  • Disable the IEFUSI for OMVS can resolve the problem:
    • Verify that the active SMFPRMxx has this in it:
      SUBSYS  OMVS,(NOEXITS)
      which can be set dynamically with set smf=xx
      The the following message appears:

      Message IEE968I is issued when the SET SMF= command is processed because  z/OS UNIX does not support the SSI Notify function

      and can be ignored
  • If IEFUSI cannot be disabled, you might be able to work around this by creating OMVS segments for INETD1 thru INETD9 as follows:

    • INSERT INETD1 ASSIZE(2147483647)  HOME(/) OMVSPGM(/bin/sh) UID(0)
      INSERT INETD2 ASSIZE(2147483647)  HOME(/) OMVSPGM(/bin/sh) UID(0)
      INSERT INETD3 ASSIZE(2147483647)  HOME(/) OMVSPGM(/bin/sh) UID(0)
      INSERT INETD4 ASSIZE(2147483647)  HOME(/) OMVSPGM(/bin/sh) UID(0)
      INSERT INETD5 ASSIZE(2147483647)  HOME(/) OMVSPGM(/bin/sh) UID(0)
      INSERT INETD6 ASSIZE(2147483647)  HOME(/) OMVSPGM(/bin/sh) UID(0)
      INSERT INETD7 ASSIZE(2147483647)  HOME(/) OMVSPGM(/bin/sh) UID(0)
      INSERT INETD8 ASSIZE(2147483647)  HOME(/) OMVSPGM(/bin/sh) UID(0)
      INSERT INETD9 ASSIZE(2147483647)  HOME(/) OMVSPGM(/bin/sh) UID(0)

  • To display the storage summary, a JDKIV tool is available. Upload the file jdkiv to the host in binary format, and set the file permissions to 777.
  • jdkiv

    Once the file permissions are set, the tool can be executed as follows:



    >chmod 777 jdkiv
    >./jdkiv

    Note any warning messages at the bottom of the jdkiv output.
