Enhanced Console Facility › Recovery From Failures

Recovery From Failures

ECF sessions can be prematurely terminated without a ?LOGOFF command having been issued under the following circumstances:

• The OPSECF address space is cancelled (ABEND S222).
• The OPSECF address space times out (ABEND S522).
• The OPSECF address space reaches CPU time limit (ABEND S322).
• A program running in the OPSECF address space incurs a system failure.

The ECF runs the TSO TMP in batch mode. The TMP will terminate when a command processor incurs a system ABEND. This is a limitation of the IBM TSO TMP, not of the ECF.

The ECF automatically detects such TSO address space failures and issues an automatic logoff from the console that started the TSO session. A ?LOGON command can be issued from the console to re-logon to the ECF.
