DFHKE1800 ABNORMAL TERMINATION OF CICS when running CICS TS for z/VSE 2.2

Question & Answer


Question

While running SOAP requests against CICS Web Support under z/VSE 6.2, the CICS Transaction Server for z/VSE (CICS TS) V2.2 region crashes with no dump. The following messages are issued:

 MAIN TASK TERMINATION                                     
 SUB DFHSKTSK CANCELED                                     
 PROBLEM PROGRAM PSW = 07DD1000 8197B27A                   
 MAIN TASK TERMINATION                                     
 SUB TVCE659 CANCELED                                      
 PROBLEM PROGRAM PSW = 07DD3000 8066B16E                   
 DFHDU0303I Transaction Dump Data set DFHDMPA closed.     
 DFHKE1800 ABNORMAL TERMINATION OF CICS IS COMPLETE.      

DFHKE1800 is issued without any preceding error message with Return code 1800 (from the ABEND 1800).

Are there any known fixes needed for CICS Transaction Server for z/VSE 2.2?

Answer

The DFHKE1800 was issued without the expected preceding error message that contains the return code 1800 (from the ABEND 1800).

The last KERRD showed an 0C4/AKEA in DFHDSAT, yet
"Error happened in program DFHCCDM at offset 00014BDA" occurs.

The PSW shows DFHDSAT + x'1352' on 947F433B followed by 58E04370.

There is no reason why the 94 NI should fail as the stack address in register 4 is valid.

This was resolved by the application of z/VSE 6.2 PTFs:
