Spool Connect:Direct (C:D) and XCOM print drivers are now single threaded

Products

• Spool

Issue/Introduction

A U4039 user abend in module CEEPLPKA can occur, if multiple Spool C:D nodes attempt to transfer multiple files at the same time.

 

 

 

Environment

Spool release 11.6 and later systems running under any releases of z/OS and IBM Connect:Direct.

Cause

The IBM Connect:Direct API does not support multiple threads.

Resolution

Enqueue/Dequeue logic has been added to force C:D and XCOM transfers to be single threaded.

Spool release 11.6 PTF RO23111 forces both C:D and XCOM transfers to be single threaded. Solution has been sourced on releases 11.7 and up.
