IPIC connection to CICS fails

The client application receives an ECI_ERR_NO_CICS error when attempting to send a request to CICS over an IPIC connection.

Symptom

An ECI_ERR_NO_CICS error occurs and the following message is written to the CICS Transaction Gateway log:

CTG8431E Handshake failure for IPIC connection to CICS server CICSIPIC response code=ISCER_EXCEPTION, reason=AUTOINSTALL_FAILED [1]

The following message is written to the CICS Transaction Server log:

DFHIS3001 11/20/2009 11:58:08 <CICS_server_name> IPCONN autoinstall rejected after a connection request was received on TCPIPSERVICE <TCPIPService_name> from host ipaddress because the TCPIPSERVICE has URM(NO)

Probable cause

The TCPIPService is configured to use predefined IPCONNs exclusively but a matching IPCONN definition was not found.

Action

Check the IPCONN definitions installed on CICS; look to see if one exists that has an APPLID that matches the APPLID and APPLID qualifier of the Gateway daemon. For more information see IPIC server connections.

Alternatively you can enable autoinstall on the TCPIPService. For more information see CICS Transaction Server Information Centers Library.
