Recovering from IRLM failure

You can recover from an IRLM failure, regardless of whether the failure results in a wait, loop, or abend.

Symptoms

The IRLM waits, loops, or abends. The following message might be issued: 

DXR122E irlmnm ABEND UNDER IRLM TCB/SRB IN MODULE xxxxxxxx
ABEND CODE zzzz

Environment

If the IRLM abends, Db2 terminates. If the IRLM waits or loops, the IRLM terminates, and Db2 terminates automatically.

Resolving the problem

Operator response:

  1. Start the IRLM if you did not set it for automatic start when you installed Db2.
  2. Start Db2.
  3. Connect IMS to Db2, by issuing the following command, where ssid is the subsystem ID:
    /START SUBSYS ssid
  4. Connect CICS® to Db2 by issuing the following command: 
    DSNC STRT
