Collector errors

If the CINT, CINB or CINC transaction or an exit program, encounters a serious error the Collector stops by terminating CINT, CINB and CINC.

CINT, CINB and CINC termination codes:
  • A code in the IUxx range accompanied by messages on the CINT transient data queue that indicate the cause of the error.
  • One of the other CICS® transaction abend codes. For a description of the code, see the CICS Messages and Codes manual.

If the CINT transaction stops with code ATCH, ATNI, or AKCT, the Collector continues to collect data. For all other codes from either the CINT, CINB or CINC transaction, the Collector is stopped. After performing the actions suggested by the message explanations, you can restart the Collector.

If a program check or MVS™ abnormal termination occurs in an exit program, it results in an abnormal termination of the transaction that caused the exit to be invoked, probably indicating a problem with the Collector. Use the CINT transaction to stop the Collector and contact your IBM® Support Center if the evidence points to the Collector being at fault.

A termination code of AICA, might be caused by the Collector scanning the table of dependency or affinity data when the amount of data is very large. You can prevent this problem by increasing the value of the ICVR system initialization parameter.
