Products

• XCOM Data Transport - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Several XCOMJOB TYPE=EXECUTE or SCHEDULE jobs are hanging. The last message seen in the job while hanging is "XCOMM0672I CA XCOM(tm) Data Transport(r) v12.0 Generation Level 1407 SP00". 

Environment

XCOM r12.0 for z/OS

Cause

The Fault Analyzer that was captured during the hang of one of the jobs confirmed that the problem was related to z/OS OMVS. 

XCOM made a call to BPX1SDD and it could not create a PID for the job because the USS File System was also in a hung state.

Resolution
