I have been receiving AEIP abend for a background transaction which runs every minute ie 24X7. When the CICS region is coming down, the transaction tries to execute during CICS region down time and AEIP abend occurs. This happens only in Production.
To handle this i have used INQUIRE statement to check the CICS region status before executing an EXEC command. To test the changes i manually brought down the CICS region to recreate the same scenario, but before the region comes down the tran gets purged. I was not able to recreate the same scenario.
Can someone tell me if there is any other possible way to handle AEIP abend and test it.
Hi there,
You don't say which command gets INVREQ or whether you have a dump/trace for it...useful if you absolutely need to find the cause.
If you know the command, add NOHANDLE to it to ignore INVREQ.
The sledgehammer approach is to issue IGNORE CONDITION INVREQ and then it won't abend.
