Thanks. That appears to be it exactly. Can one revert from 5.2.3.4 to 5.2.3.3 without restoring the tsm db?
David >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/16/2004 11:13:33 PM >>> Likely suspect: IC43445: ABSTRACT: TSM SERVER ABENDS WITH ANR7837S INTERNAL ERROR LOCKCYCLE02 DETECTED ERROR DESCRIPTION: The TSM Server can crash with a LOCKCYCLE02 assertion failure. The assertion failure occurs as a result of a lock request being aborted which would occur from the resource monitor. The crash will only occur if more than 1 resource was waiting on a particular lock and 2 of those resources have been aborted due to resourcetimeout. Customer/L2 Diagnostics: The traceback for this problem will be the following: pkAbort pkLogicAbort CheckLockCycles TmFindDeadlock TmDeadlockDetector StartThread The dsmserv.err will report the following error messages: ANR7838S Server operation terminated. ANR7837S Internal error LOCKCYCLE02 detected. In the activity log just prior to the crash, you will most likely see at least 2 occurrances of the following message: ANR0538I A resource waiter has been aborted. Platforms affected: All 5.2.3.4 ITSM Servers Initial Impact: High Additional Keywords: Assert resource wait admres deadlock locking lockholder core dump logicabort MSGANR7837S LOCAL FIX: 1) Back-level the TSM Server to 5.2.3.3 or prior 2) Increasing the resourcetimeout may or may not provide relief depending on how long the resources have to wait.
