Question & Answer
Question
Why am I receiving an Abend A06-04 during shutdown of CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS)? I am using CA Top Secret from CA Technologies.
The CICS region ended with the following messages:

Answer
Applying CA Top Secret PTF ST06140 resolves this abendA06-04
To confirm that this PTF will fix your problem, you will need to set the following SLIP dump on the abend A06 and then recreate the problem:
SLIP SET,COMP=A06,JOBNAME=cicsregion,A=SVCD,ID=SA06,
SDATA=(ALLNUC,PSA,SQA,CSA,LPA,TRT,LSQA,RGN,SUMDUMP),END
In this case, Supervisor/RTM Support reviewed the slip dump for the ABENDA06 and found the following flow under TCB 009FC198 which incurred the abend:
PRB SVC D for normal end of task processing
SVRB SVC 14 (CLOSE) issued from IFG0TC0A+151A doing end of task
cleanup
SVRB SVC 75 DEBCHECK from IDAV200T
SVRB SVC 08 from PSWA=B817F45C module TSSFSB, a CA Top Secret module
with R1=3817F44C
SVRB WAIT in IGWCDPDS
While waiting for I/O to complete in IGWCDPDS+862, an ABEND33E is presented and this causes TCB 9FC198 to enter RTM for abnormal termination.
SVRB SVC 0C from RTM to drive abnormal O/C/EOV resource cleanup
PRB SVC 14 (CLOSE) issued from IFG0TC0A+151A
SVRB SVC 75 DEBCHECK from IDAV200T
SVRB SVC 08 from PSWA=B817F45C module TSSFSB, a CA Top Secret module
with R1=3817F44C, the same EP as previously in progress
SVRB ABENDA06 from CSVABEND+BA2
CA Top Secret is hooking out the SVC table and intercepting the SVC 75. The SVC Table starts at 108BBBA8 and the entry for SVC 75 (+3A8) contains address x'B8026000'. At this storage location we find:

CA Top Secret needs to handle re-entry into its module and prevent the ABENDA06.
If you are seeing the same symptoms and still receive the abend after applying the fix, I recommend that you contact CA Support.
