Abend-AID transaction dump hangs until it times out in CICS TS 5.1

Question & Answer


Question

Why would would a transaction dump within CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) V5.1 hang for about 7 minutes and then time out when using Abend-AID for CICS?

Answer

One possibility is that the Abend-AID for CICS processing of the dump hangs until Abend-AID for CICS times it out. When that happens, here is an example of the messages you would see on the Abend-Aid/CICS log:

There is a problem within Abend-Aid for CICS that is fixed by CFB177. After this fix is applied the Abend-AID transaction dumps should no longer hang and then time out. Contact Compuware if you need further assistance.
