Problem:

The catalog is shared between two regions one CICS and one BATCH. The CICS regions will submit jobs to the BATCH region but does not have any BATCH initiators available. Having two regions sharing the catalog and having batch initiators is not supported. Should the CICS region be rebooted while a batch job is active it will be flushed from active which is what happened to the job from the active queue.

Resolution:

In Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 WebSync 1 a new environment variable was added to prevent the stopping of the CICS region from flushing an active job. Only add this to the CICS region never to the BATCH region.

ES_JES_DISABLE_RESTART_FLUSH=on
