A ChekPlex job ran for 11 hours until General Transaction Server (GTS) abended with S878. The job was processing over 1200 Endevor elements.
The GTS server is able to restart successfully after the S878 abend.

Component : General Transaction Server
JCLCheck Workload Automation
The dump had over 160,000 copies of GTS module CAGSTDMN loaded into storage (at a length of 15K per module).
GTS should not load additional copies of CAGSTDMN every time a ChekPlex job runs locally. CAGSTDMN is the GTS Client start-up module.
Apply GTS PTF LU06778.
