Issue/Introduction

We are having an ECSA issue. I see that ENF is taking up a bit of it. I cycled ENF (to increase database size), but it is still holding ECSA.  How do I get ENF to release the ECSA memory?

 

 

Environment

CA COMMON SERVICES 14.1 S1401, z/OS 2.1

ENF starting the ENFUSS component

Cause

15.09.06 STC00042 CAS9214I - CA-ENF Command: DCM(CARRDCM0) * UNIX SYSTEM SERVICES INTERC 
15.09.06 STC00042 CAS9240I - DCM - Command complete 
15.09.06 STC00042 CAS9214I - CA-ENF Command: DCM(J163DCM0) * ACF2 
15.09.06 STC00042 CAS9240I - DCM - Command complete 
15.09.07 STC00042 CARR001I - CA Intercept Technology for z/OS UNIX Services starting 
15.09.07 STC00042 CARR051I - Restart underway - reloading resident modules 
15.09.08 STC00042 CARR029I - 090 USS probes now active 
15.09.08 STC00042 CARR002I - CA Intercept Technology for z/OS USS initialized, RC=0000 

 ENFUSS uses CSA/ECSA and will not release it during the duration of the IPL.   

Resolution

• Simply recycling ENF without an IPL will not release the allocated storage
• In order to reclaim the storage:

o   Comment out the following DCMs:

• The ENFUSS DCM CARRDCM0
• The ACF2 USS DCM J163DCM0

o   Re IPL to prevent ENFUSS from initializing
