Many years ago, I forget whether we were at V1.4 or V1.7 - we are now at V1.9 - We had a similar situation, except that we were in a multi-engine machine. We received a IEE message telling us that one processor was in spin mode and asking what to do about it. I think also that we were doing some funky stuff with DB2. What may be causing a big impact in your case is the fact that you are a uni-processor; no other recourse but to wait for the spin to wear itself out.

Update. We experienced another 'hang' lasting 2 minutes. LOGREC indicated SFTABN (S0222) on the same low priority batch job before both hangs. The programmer indicated the job was doing many inserts/updates to various DB2 tables before it was canceled (this was on a test DB2 system). We opened an incident with IBM - they indicated a DB2 roll back could not have caused the hang of the Console address space. We are still persuing with IBM. Are the any z/OS 1.9 uniprocessor configs out there? Have any default settings changed in 1.9 that I should look at? I am reviewing a uniprocessor white paper from Dec 2006.
