Hi,

I have a CICS that had just crashed after one transaction abended S0C4.
Basically, this CICS has not been refreshed for about 3 months and the transaction that abended is quite common. In fact, during this 3 months, many other types of abends had occurred on various types of transactions.

The S0C4 abend above had never crashed the CICS before, yet it is the last abend that caused this CICS to crash.

So, my question is is it possible that due to the cumulative abends over the past 3 months caused the CICS to crash?

If the CICS is refreshed daily, can this be avoided?

Thanks.

I would think that this is a storage violation situation. Either a commarea misuse or a table overflow or ... probably corrupted your CICS and sooner or later it crashed. I would check your listings to see if one of those errors were on one of your CICS modules.

If the S0C4 was caused by a storage violation, the symptoms you describe make sense since storage violations usually show up in the victim, not the culprit.
