Issue/Introduction

On a system with 21.0 z/OS agents connecting to a TLS Gateway and filetransfers running, the system forces a trace.  This tends to happen more on systems with 12.3 systems conencted.

The following shows up in the WP logs:

System is running and then will force traces with:

Environment

Release : 21.0, prior to 21.0.4

Cause

This is caused by a bug with the z/OS agent where z/OS agent transfer file to partner via TLS gateway and the TLS GW was sent to QUIT signals.  Since the first one actually stops what needs to be stopped, the second causes a trace since the system does not know how to handle it.

Resolution

Resolved with the z/OS agent release 21.0.4

Description: z/OS Agent File Transfer forces memory dump in Automation Engine Working process in 'JPEXEC_R' module
