Error description

• KEYWORDS:
  abend0C4 0c4 abend0C3 0c3 u2008 modify command db2 subsystem
  restart agent
  .
  If a MODIFY command is used to "EXEC <STC>", components within
  the collector address space are already running, resulting in an
  A03 abend, 0C4 abends, and sometimes a 0C3 abend followed
  by a U2008 abend in the OMPE Collector which terminates, causing
  the Agent to hang.
