An Interesting One

[tbutala@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have an interesting one happening right now.  We have three AS/400s, two of
them identical.  We run BPCS 6.0.04.  We just upgraded our operating system to
V4R4.  On the one AS/400 our batch allocation program ORD400B completes
processing but does not close down for a long period of time.  That's right, all
BPCS jobs will clear through the job stack, the status of the job goes to END
but it sits in the END status for an hour or more before it finally closes on
its' own.

Personally I have never seen a job do this before, I've seen the hang where I
had to cancel them, but this job will eventually close out on its' own.  Because
this problem started once the new release was applied this weekend my
assumptions (yes I know about assumptions) is that this is an Operating System
problem.  However, this problem does not occur on either of the other AS/400s.
We have contacted IBM and they have had us load a number of new PTF's and wanted
us to run DBMON over the process to create new access paths (which we did) all
to no avail.  SSA does not have any answers for us either.

My question is simply, has anybody else had a similar problem and if so what
resolved the issue.
