Re: Checkpoint job stops processing: Cancel command not working
I utilized RMFWDM and did not find anything of importance; our MIH (Missing Interrupt Handler) is set at MIH DEV=(3E0-3E7),TIME=10:00 we attempted to cancel the job several times and finally forced it out of the System; restored the database ran again and the job ran fine.

The most common cause for CANCEL not working is something getting hung up in task termination. As to what that might be we can only guess. If you have a reproducible problem, then capture an SVC dump of the hung address space and forward it to IBM for analysis. If it turns out to be vendor code they will point you in the right direction.

we have ever met the situation that the Cancel command did not take effect when the system was 100% busy..

Re: Checkpoint job stops processing: Cancel command not working
The only time I remember seeing anything like this was when an I/o device would lose an interrupt and hang but that was many years ago before IBM came up with MIH. However, that being said the MIH timeout value for tapes is probably pretty high, in the neighborhood of 15-20 minutes, so you would need to wait that long to see if the I/O gets re-driven and a missing interrupt is your problem. You could also try setting the MIH Timeout value for the tapes to a minute or less and run it again. If that fixes it, I'd contact your tape vendor to have the drive checked out or see if there is a micro-code fix for the problem. You can also do a D U,,,xxx,1 against the tape unit and see if you see the tape is busy. Another item to look at is the size of the chkpoint record in case it's small enough to be considered noise. Not sure if that would cause that kind of problem, just a another thought.
