As per my manual:

Explanation: When the system detects an error in internal IBM DATABASE 2 (DB2(TM)) processing, it will abnormally end a connected user task (TCB) or one of its own internal tasks. For information about the reason codes associated with this abend code, see DB2 Messages and Codes.

System Action: The system abnormally ends the connected user task or the DB2 internal task.

Programmer Response: Check register 15 of the SDWA section 'General Purpose Registers at Time of Error', and locate the accompanying reason code. In addition, check the information displayed at the user's terminal,
and in the corresponding logrec data set entry.

S04E error means Duplicate utility id has been created. If your job abends in your run it creates a duplicate utility id. if you submit the same job again without terminating the duplicate utility id then you get so4e error.

You can terminate this utility id in two ways
1. by writing Utility termination step in your jcl (or)
2. In Tso Db2 --select--BMC Administrative Products for DB2 --catalog manager for db2--db2 commands--go for utility termination option
--but this access may only have db2 dba.

Thanks

The Abend can also occur when there is some problem in the index space. By rebuilding the index space the problem can be resolved.

We also faced similar problem and it was resolved by rebuilding the index space.

I am using DSNUPROC utility to Unload the Db2 table. And, I got SB37 Error. I increased the SPACe for the Data file; and submitted the job again. And, I got S04E error (Duplicate utility id )!

how do I write Utility termination step in the JCL? Can anyone show me an example? I have attached the JCL for my Unload utility here.
Thanks!!

Hi guyes,

If u have Abend Code S04E then something is wrong at the DB2 data. Verify the data then submit the job.

Hi,

S04E related to the DB2 subsystem, specifically involving a resource or operational failure.

Common Causes of S04E Abend

Resource Contention:
Locks and Deadlocks: The program may be waiting for a resource that is locked by another process, leading to a deadlock or timeout.
Insufficient Resources: DB2 may be running out of necessary resources such as memory or processing power.

Authorization Issues:
Insufficient Privileges: The user or program may not have the required permissions to perform the operation.
Invalid User IDs: The operation might be attempted by an invalid or unauthorized user ID.

Operational Errors:
Database Corruption: Issues with the integrity of the database can lead to operational failures.
System Configuration Errors: Incorrect DB2 system configuration or parameter settings

Steps to Diagnose and Resolve S04E Abend

Review the Abend Message:
Examine the job log and the system output to identify specific messages related to the S04E abend. Look for accompanying DB2 error codes and messages.
Check the SYS1.LOGREC and SYS1.DUMP:

These system logs provide detailed error information that can help identify the root cause of the abend.

Analyze DB2 Diagnostic Information:
Review the DB2 diagnostic logs (DSN1PRNT output, DB2 master address space log) for additional error details.
Use the DB2 command DISPLAY DATABASE to check the status of the involved databases and tablespaces.

Investigate Resource Contention:
Check for lock or deadlock situations using DB2 performance monitoring tools.
Review the job's resource usage and compare it against available system resources.

Verify Authorization and Privileges:
Ensure that the job or user has the necessary permissions to perform the requested DB2 operations.
Use the DISPLAY AUTH command to check user privileges.

Review DB2 Configuration:
Check DB2 configuration settings and parameters to ensure they are correctly set up.
Ensure that DB2 system and database configurations meet the requirements of the application.
