Allow to interrupt before automatic restart. (DFHSJ1009)

We need an indicator before the JVM restarts (80% of runaway time), to allow us to shift the workload, before the JVM restarts. This topic was already discussed in a meeting with Hursley and the German CICS Tech Sales.

    When a task running Java experiences a runaway interval condition, the JVMSERVER intercepts the condition and initially triggers a DISABLE PHASEOUT. New work is prevented from entering the JVM and existing work is left to drain.

    To prevent further work from being rejected you can check the JVMSERVER status - if it is not 'ENABLED', don't send work to it. Conversely, you could trigger off the SJ1010 message which informs a user that the JVMSERVER is beginning to quiesce (due to runaway in a task nnnn). If the task continues to run for further runaway intervals, the JVMSERVER shutdown sequence will escalate through the PURGE, FORCE, KILL stages (each runaway internal) until all workload is terminated and the JVMSERVER recycles.

    Does this behaviour resolve the issue? If not please elaborate on the problem you want to solve and the behaviours experienced by the JVMSERVER. Thanks.
