Symptom
After restarting ICM from transaction SMICM, the process cannot start due to a shared memory error, such as:
dev_icm:
*** ERROR => ShmCreate: (ATTACH 62, xxxxxxxxxxx) failed 1 [mpixx.c 1190]
...
*** ICM shutdown completed (pid: xxxxxx) ***
or
*** ERROR => ShmCreate: Invalid size. Key=63 Size=xxxxxx [shmux.c 1435]
...
*** ICM shutdown completed (pid: xxxxxx) ***
or
*** ERROR => DpShMCreate: ShmCreate SHM_DP_CA_KEY(rc=3) [dpxxca.c 143]
...
*** ICM shutdown completed (pid: xxxxxx) ***
or
*** ERROR => Shm Pool Config. Error. PoolKey=22, Key=21. [shmux.c 2063]
...
*** ICM shutdown completed (pid: xxxxxx) ***
As a consequence, the Dispatcher shuts down the instance:
dev_disp:
*** DP_FATAL_ERROR => Internet Communication manager could not be started - I better exit now
*** DISPATCHER EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN ***
