For many, many moons, we have a large number of productions jobs kick
off at about the same time. The first step is scheduler administration,
and the second step executes IKJEFT1B, which calls a REXX exec (see
below).
The command executed is a JES purge: $P O JOB(xxyyzz),HOURS<12
(Please don't ask why we do the purge. It makes perfect
business/technical sense to us. A REXX is used so that the command can
be scheduled, routed, and managed.)
Just lately, that step has been randomly failing and then hanging
between the CONSOLD ACTIVATE and CONSOLE DEACTIVATE. The hanging job
then 'sits' on the console causing other jobs with that same ID to fail.
The only symptom I see is the following message:
IEC999I IFG0TC0A,IGWFARC0,jobname,stepname
The FM implies I should be looking for the debris field of a system 0C1,
but I don't' see anything.
We expect failures when more than one job attempts to concurrently
activate the console, but the hang is something new.
Any clues?
Thanks!!
