DFHAP0001 0C1 AKEA at FFFFFFFF in DFHSJITL during CICS TS startup

The dump of CICS reveals that there was a RUNAWAY (0999) detected, followed by the S0C1 ABEND. But the most interesting finding is in the JVM output files. The output shows that there is a directory that cannot be found or created. This specification was for the WORK_DIR for the JVM server.

The JVM output shows:

Once the correct path was added to the WORK_DIR parameter in the JVM profile, the abend 0C1 in DFHSJITL no longer occurred. See JVM server options in the CICS TS documentation for more information about the WORK_DIR option.
