z/OS 3.1 CEE3204S Error

[struga0258]

When running Zowe on z/OS 3.1 I keep encountering the following error during startup:

CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception (System Completion Code=0C4).
         From entry point main at compile unit offset +00003E38 at entry offset +00003E38 at address 1480FC98.

Please add more info. System Log, CEEDUMP's, etc.

I have attached two CEEDUMPS

@hogstrom is this the right bug? Can you post ZSS log and system log if anything looks interesting there

[hogstrom]

@JoeNemo Yes, this is the bug. As noted, the dumps do not really provide a smoking gun.

@struga0258 Can you provide the job log for this error. The dump doesn't really provide enough information.

It would be helpful to outline the steps used to recreate this so that we can duplicate on an internal system.

I've recreated the issue on a system. LE is blocking diagnostic data using a SPIE. Attempting another recreate with the following options

ENVAR("LIBPATH=/usr/lib") CEEDUMP(60,SYSOUT=,FREE=END,SPIN=UNALLOC) DYNDUMP(USERID,NODYNAMIC,NOTDUMP) TERMTHDACT(DUMP,,256) TRACE(ON,16K,NODUMP,LE=1) TRAP(ON,NOSPIE)

UPDATE:

The root problem is the command /bin/ipcs.

When attempting this command from the command line the same abend occurs outside of Zowe. This is an IBM defect. I'm opening a PMR with IBM for the issue.

$ /bin/ipcs -a

Since Zowe is impacted by this IBM issue I'm going to close this issue.

Here is the IBM PTF that addresses the issue in /bin/ipcs that needs to be applied to avoid the S0C4.
