z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 3 (ASB-BPX)

ATB006I
APPC IS TERMINATING. RESTART CRITERIA NOT MET. FAILURE CODE = return-code

Explanation

Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) abnormally ended while initializing or while processing APPC work. APPC will not attempt to restart itself.

In the message text:
Reason Code (hex)
Explanation
0001-000C
Internal error.

System action

APPC services are unavailable. The system rejects all incoming APPC work. Work already running on the system completes or ends. When APPC has ended, normally or abnormally, the system issues message ATB002I. The system writes an SVC dump.

Operator response

Do not send any new work to APPC. To start a new APPC address space, do the following:
  • Wait until the system issues message ATB002I and then enter the START APPC command.
  • If the system does not issue message ATB002I, APPC has hung in the process of ending. Try entering the FORCE command.
  • If the system still does not issue message ATB002I after you enter the FORCE command, the only way to start APPC is to reIPL the system.

System programmer response

Identify the problem, using the SVC dump and the APPC component trace records. APPC might have abnormally ended because of the frequency of abends (two abends within one hour). If so, an SVC dump was taken for each abend. The system issues message ATB005I following the first abend. The abends might be unrelated.

If the problem persists, search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the SVC dump and the reason code issued by this message.
