PK76500: AVOID FOLLOW-ON ABENDS AFTER ABEND IN FPEVDB2I. PROVIDE FIRST RELIEF UNTIL A FIX IS AVAILABLE FOR PK73913.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Following ABEND0C4 in FPEVDB2I+48CE for instance, Omegamon
  will try to recover the DB2I functionality -- and this can
  lead to subsequent ABENDs.  This APAR will provide first
  relief by no longer trying to recover the DB2I functionality,
  but instead shuts down the instance gracefully.  This will
  *NOT* solve the reported 0C4 in FPEVDB2I but will avoid the
  several follow-on abends caused by the attempted recovery.
  The long-term solution remains PK73913 which will be delivered
  later.
  

Local fix

• Wait at least 10 seconds before killing a VTAM session that is
  hanging while waiting for data.

  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  Abend S0C4 occurs in module FPEVDB2I of the PE Server subtask.
  Consecutive abends in depending tasks occur. The processing of
  the corresponding dumps causes peaks in CPU consumption.
  
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  When an ABEND (S0C4) occurs in module FPEVDB2I of a monitoring
  PE Server subtask, the abend handler is invoked and writes the
  symptoms (PSW, Registers) to the OMEGAMON job log without
  requesting further dump output. Control is returned to module
  FPEVDB2I to free resources. The monitoring PE Server subtask
  stops and will be started automatically to continue monitoring
  of the DB2 Subsystem.
