If you are running a CICS®-APPC PEM environment, and are not receiving the expected
responses, check the following possible sources of errors in the sign-on transaction
program:
- The function management header (FMH) may be in error; check that:
- The conversation type being used is basic.
- The XTRANID in the CICS TRANSACTION definition for CLS4 is X'06F3F0F1'. (See Setting up the PEM client.)
- The CICS PEM server sign-on transaction is running as a synclevel 0 transaction. (See Setting up the PEM client.)
- The user data may be in error; check that:
Note: If the CICS PEM server receives an error in the FMH or user
data, it sends an ISSUE ERROR to the PEM requester, and terminates without
an abend. If this happens, it is likely that there is an error in the flow.
For examples of valid flows, see
PEM client input and output data.
