Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: AKEX and ASOB abends during shutdown * * with DFHSO0001 issued. * **************************************************************** A CICS region with IPIC connections is shutdown. During shutdown processing the Sockets listener task, CSOL, closes the region's sockets. If one of the sockets is currently being used by a CISR task to receive data then an AKEX abend occurs when the receive is interrupted by the closure of the socket. This is followed by an ASOB abend when recovery processing attempts to free a lock which has already been deleted.
Problem conclusion
Sockets Domain has been updated to wait up to 30 seconds for CISR to complete before proceeding to close sockets.
