We had a job hang last night and the only way we could kill it was to follow IBM's advice and IPL the system.

We will never know what the root cause because not enough info was gathered prior to the IPL and because the system was a 45 minute drive away.

We do know that it was a commitment control issue with some SQL and that it was related to exceeding the maximum of seq numbers in a journal receiver. The job was initiated via and ODBC connection.

After two hours the user ended the job with a *immed. The iSeries then began a rollback using the journal which ran for nine hours before it was discovered.

All attempts to kill the job outright failed:

endjob *immed
endjob *immed
endjobabn (abnormal)
endhostsvr *all *all
endsbs qusrwrk *immed

Only an IPL could clear the condition. The system did its best to to apply the journal receiver post IPL but file integrity cannot be established.

The file was recreated and life goes on.
