FYI:
When we upgrade from z/OS 1.7 to z/OS 1.9 the ARSSOCKD exits immediately with error ARS0163E
The solution was to increasing the MAXMMAPAREA parameter in USS (BPXPRMxx)
Here is the description of this error messages from the Infocenter :
========================================================================
ARS0163E Unable to initialize converter from (codepage,codeset) input_codepage,input_codeset to (codepage,codeset) output_codepage,output_codeset. rc=returnCode
Explanation:
The system was unable to initialize the converter. The required iconv conversion tables are not available.
User Response:
Check the server's locale directory to make sure the specified conversion tables exist. If the problem persists, contact your IBM Service Representative.
Here is the description of this parameter from the Infocenter :
========================================================================
MAXMMAPAREA
z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Planning
GA22-7800-12
MAXPMMAPAREA specifies the maximum number of data space pages that can
be allocated for memory mapping of z/OS UNIX files. Storage is not
allocated until memory mappings are active.
For MAXMMAPAREA, you can set a system-wide limit in BPXPRMxx and then
set higher limits for individual processes. Use the RACF? ADDUSER or
ALTUSER command to specify the MMAPAREAMAX limit on a per-process basis.
Example:
ALTUSER userid OMVS(MMAPAREAMAX(nnnn))
The SHMEMMAX and MEMLIMIT parameters enable installations to manage the
64-bit space more effectively.
