    * 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.
