Cause
The problem is with IBM's recommended DIAG trap set (IGVINITCPOOL) and not having defaultjob class defined in the .ini file, the Automic z/OS AGENT attempts to allocate an extended console.
It is this piece of code where the abend happens and needs to be resolved.
It is this piece of code where the abend happens and needs to be resolved.
Environment
z/OS Agents version 12.2 and 12.3
Resolution
The workaround consists of forcing the defaultjobclass in the Agent configuration.
Enter the following definition 'defaultJobClass =B 'in the WLM section.of the Agents configuration file.
Now the STC will start up and the agent will get operational and will connect to the AE.
Solution:
Update to a fix version listed below or a newer version if available.
Fix version:
Component(s): z/OS Agent
Automation Engine 12.1.8 - Planned release May 2020
Automation Engine 12.2.6 - Planned release June 2020
Automation Engine 12.3.3 - Planned release June 2020
Automation Engine 12.5.0 - Planned release June 2020
