DFHPAxxxx messages

DFHPA0001
applid An abend (code aaa/bbbb) has occurred at offset X'offset' in module modname.
Explanation:

An unexpected program check or operating system abend with abend code aaa/bbbb occurred at offset X'offset' in module modname. This can be caused by corruption of CICS code or control blocks.

During initialization, CICS might not have access to the user’s applid coded in the SIT. If CICS produces this message in these circumstances, it uses the default applid value DBDCCICS.

System action:

A system dump is taken unless specifically suppressed for this system abend code, and the system attempts to continue operation unless termination has been requested via the dump table.

Message DFHME0116 is normally produced containing the symptom string for this problem.

User response:

Investigate the cause of the abend or program check using the dump, the abend code, the trace table, and any other diagnostic messages which may have been issued.

XMEOUT Parameters: applid, aaa/bbbb, X'offset', modname

DFHPA0002
applid A severe error (code X'code') has occurred in module modname.
Explanation:

An error has been detected in module modname

The code X'code' is the exception trace point id which uniquely identifies what the error is and where the error was detected.

During initialization, CICS may not have access to the user’s applid coded in the SIT. If CICS produces this message in these circumstances, it uses the default applid value DBDCCICS.

System action:

An exception entry (code X'code' in the message) is made in the trace table. A system dump is taken, unless you have specifically suppressed dumps in the dump table.

CICS continues unless you have specified in the dump table that CICS should terminate.

If appropriate, an error return code is sent to the caller of this domain. In this case, CICS could be terminated by the caller (for example, the domain manager, DFHDMDM). A message is issued to this effect.

Message DFHME0116 is normally produced containing the symptom string for this problem.

User response:

This indicates a possible error in CICS code. The severity of its impact depends on the importance of the function being executed at the time of the error.

CICS may not have been terminated.

If the message occurs once and module modname is not crucial to the running of your CICS system, you may decide to continue to run and bring CICS down at a convenient time to resolve the problem.

If the message recurs or if you cannot run without the full use of module modname, you should bring CICS down in a controlled shutdown.

For further information about CICS exception trace entries, refer to the CICS® Problem Determination Guide.

You need further assistance from IBM to resolve this problem. See CICS Problem Determination Guide for guidance on how to proceed.

XMEOUT Parameters: applid, X'code',modname

DFHPA0004
applid A possible loop has been detected at offset X'offset' in module modname.
Explanation:

A CICS function is taking more time to process than CICS expects. A possible loop has been detected in module modname at offset X'offset'. This is the offset of the instruction which was executing when the error was detected.

During initialization, CICS may not have access to the user’s applid coded in the SIT. If CICS produces this message in these circumstances, it uses the default applid value DBDCCICS.

System action:

An exception entry is made in the trace table. A system dump is taken, unless you have specifically suppressed dumps in the dump table.

CICS continues unless you have specified in the dump table that CICS should terminate.

Message DFHME0116 is normally produced containing the symptom string for this problem.

User response:

If CICS has not been terminated, it is necessary to decide whether the problem is serious enough to bring CICS down.

Since some CICS functions can use a lot of processor time, this message may have been caused by a long-running function. So there may not be an error here. Usually, CICS purges a CICS function which exceeds the runaway task time interval which you have specified in the SIT (this is the ICVR which is measured in milliseconds). This means that the CICS module identified in the message is terminated and CICS continues..

However, if you have declared ICVR=0 in the SIT and you consider that module modname has gone into a loop, you have to terminate CICS in order to terminate the runaway function.

If CICS has terminated module modname, and you consider that it was not a runaway, you should increase the ICVR time interval in the SIT. You have to bring CICS down at a suitable time to do this permanently. However, you can change the ICVR time interval temporarily online, using the CEMT transaction.

If raising the ICVR time does not solve the problem, you will need further assistance from IBM. See CICS Problem Determination Guide for guidance on how to proceed.

applid CSDBKUP=DYNAMIC REQUIRES CSDRECOV=ALL. CSDBKUP HAS BEEN DEFAULTED TO STATIC.
Explanation:

When the value DYNAMIC is specified for the CSDBKUP keyword the CSDRECOV keyword must have the value ALL. However, the override parameter stream has overridden the SIT values and this requirement has not been fulfilled.

System action:

To enable initialization to continue, CSDBKUP is set to the default value STATIC. Because CSDBKUP is set to STATIC, the CICS CSD as defined in the input JCL, or by dynamic allocation, is not eligible for backup while open for update.

User response:

Update CICS input JCL with the correct values for CSDBKUP and CSDRECOV keywords prior to the next initialization of CICS.

applid CSDFRLOG=nn HAS BEEN IGNORED AS CSDRECOV=ALL HAS NOT BEEN SPECIFIED.
Explanation:

When a forward recovery log value is specified for the CSDFRLOG keyword, the CSDRECOV keyword must have the value ALL. However, the override parameter stream has overridden the SIT values and this requirement has not been fulfilled.

System action:

To enable initialization to continue, the CSDFRLOG value has been ignored. Because CSDFRLOG is ignored, the CICS CSD as defined in the input JCL, or by dynamic allocation, is not eligible for forward recovery logging.

User response:

Update CICS input JCL with the correct values for the CSDFRLOG and CSDRECOV keywords prior to the next initialization of CICS.

applid keyword IS A SECURITY KEYWORD AND CANNOT BE ENTERED AT THE CONSOLE. THE KEYWORD IS IGNORED.
Explanation:

A SIT override has been entered at the console which is deemed to be a member of the set of security system initialization parameters. Security system initialization parameters cannot be entered at the console.

During initialization, CICS might not have access to the user’s applid coded in the SIT. If CICS produces this message in these circumstances, it uses the default applid value DBDCCICS.

System action:

CICS ignores the security SIT override, and initialization continues.

User response:

Update CICS input JCL so that security keywords are included in the SIT, SYSIN or PARM prior to the next initialization of CICS.

applid A PSDINT VALUE GREATER THAN ZERO WAS SPECIFIED WITH XRF=YES. PSDINT HAS BEEN RESET TO 0.
Explanation:

A conflict of options has been detected. You have requested Persistent Session Support by specifying a nonzero value for the PSDINT system initialization parameter. This parameter is used to set the Persistent Sessions delay interval. However, you have also requested XRF support by specifying XRF=YES. Persistent Sessions Support and XRF are mutually exclusive.

System action:

The PSDINT value defaults to 0. CICS attempts to continue with XRF support.

User response:

Before you next initialize CICS, alter the system initialization parameters so that either PSDINT=0 or XRF=NO. See the CICS System Definition Guide for further information.

applid keyword IS A SECURITY KEYWORD. THIS KEYWORD AND ALL SUBSEQUENT KEYWORDS ON THIS LINE ARE IGNORED.
Explanation:

A SIT override has been entered at the console which is deemed to be a member of the set of security system initialization parameters. Security system initialization parameters cannot be entered at the console. CICS has been unable to analyze the overrides following the security keyword.

During initialization, CICS might not have access to the user’s applid coded in the SIT. If CICS produces this message in these circumstances, it uses the default applid value DBDCCICS.

System action:

CICS ignores the security SIT override and all subsequent overrides entered on this line. Initialization continues.

User response:

Update CICS input JCL so that security keywords are included in the SIT, SYSIN or PARM prior to the next initialization of CICS.

applid A VALUE WAS SPECIFIED FOR GRNAME WITH XRF=YES. GRNAME HAS BEEN RESET TO BLANKS.
Explanation:

A conflict of options has been detected. You have requested generic resource support by specifying a value for the GRNAME system initialization parameter. This parameter is used to register CICS as a VTAM generic resource. However, you have also requested XRF support by specifying XRF=YES. Generic resource support and XRF are mutually exclusive.

System action:

The GRNAME value is reset to blanks. CICS attempts to continue with XRF support but without generic resource support.

User response:

Before you next initialize CICS, alter the system initialization parameters so that either GRNAME is not specified or XRF=NO. See the CICS System Definition Guide for further information.

applid GRNAME SPECIFIED WITH SPECIFIC AND GENERIC APPLIDS. THE GENERIC APPLID HAS BEEN SET EQUAL TO THE SPECIFIC.
Explanation:

A conflict of options has been detected. You have requested generic resource support by specifying a value for the GRNAME system initialization parameter. This parameter is used to register CICS as a VTAM generic resource. However, you have also specified different values for the generic and specific applids. Generic resource support requires that only one value should be specified for the APPLID parameter.

System action:

The generic applid is set to the value of the specific. CICS continues and attempts to register as a VTAM generic resource.

User response:

If you intended that CICS should register as a VTAM generic resource, take no action. If you did not, remove the GRNAME parameter before you next initialize the system.

applid GRNAME AND APPLID ARE THE SAME. GRNAME RESET TO BLANKS.
Explanation:

A conflict of options has been detected. You have requested generic resource support by specifying a value for the GRNAME system initialization parameter. This parameter is used to register CICS as a VTAM generic resource. However, the value specified for GRNAME is the same as the CICS applid. VTAM requires that the generic resource name must be different from the CICS applid.

System action:

The generic resource name is set to blanks. CICS will not attempt to register as a VTAM generic resource.

User response:

If you intended that CICS should register as a VTAM generic resource, specify the correct GRNAME when you next initialize the system.

applid CSDINTEG=CONSISTENT AND CSDINTEG=REPEATABLE REQUIRE CSDRLS=YES. CSDINTEG HAS BEEN SET TO UNCOMMITTED.
Explanation:

Read integrity on the CICS system definition (CSD) file has been requested by specifying either CSDINTEG=CONSISTENT or CSDINTEG=REPEATABLE. However, these read integrity options are not available because the CSD has been defined to be opened in non-RLS mode. Read integrity is only available to files defined in RLS mode.

System action:

CICS startup continues. The CSD is read without read integrity.

User response:

Do one of the following to correct the error:

applid VTAM=NO HAS BEEN SPECIFIED BUT NO UOWNETQL PARAMETER HAS BEEN SPECIFIED. A DEFAULT UOWNETQL WILL BE USED.
Explanation:

VTAM=NO has been specified as a system initialization parameter but the UOWNETQL system initialization parameter is missing.

On a non-VTAM system, CICS requires the UOWNETQL parameter in order to construct a default qualified LUNAME to be passed to the recovery manager domain. On a VTAM system, the name is obtained at OPEN ACB time. Recovery manager uses the default qualified LUNAME when constructing unit of work (UOW) identifiers.

System action:

If this is an initial start, CICS continues processing using a dummy default UOWNETQL of ‘9UNKNOWN’. This dummy UOWNETQL is invalid because the first character is a number. UOWNETQL is given this invalid name to highlight the problem.

If this is a cold, warm or emergency start, the name used on the previous run is restored and used.

User response:

Specify a valid UOWNETQL system initialization parameter.

applid CSDRLS=YES BUT RLS=NO. CSDRLS=NO WILL BE USED.
Explanation:

The system initialization parameter CSDRLS=YES has been specified but RLS=YES has not been specified. This means that if initialization were to continue with these parameter settings the open of the CSD in record level sharing (RLS) mode would fail because RLS is not available in the system.

CICS requires that if you specify CSDRLS=YES, RLS must be enabled by specifying RLS=YES.

System action:

CICS continues processing but forces CSDRLS=NO.

User response:

If CSDRLS is required, bring CICS up with RLS=YES.

applid START=COLD OR START=INITIAL MAY NOT BE SPECIFIED WITH OFFSITE=YES. CICS IS TERMINATED.
Explanation:

The system initialization override OFFSITE=YES has been specified but START=COLD or START=INITIAL has also been specified. OFFSITE=YES means that CICS is being restarted in offsite recovery mode, but recovery is not possible on a cold or initial start, so this combination of system initialization parameters is incompatible.

System action:

CICS initialization is terminated.

User response:

You should specify START=AUTO when restarting CICS in OFFSITE recovery mode.

If you intended to perform a cold or initial start, and specified OFFSITE=YES in error, either change the OFFSITE override to NO, or remove it and allow it to default to NO.

applid CSDRECOV=ALL CANNOT BE SPECIFIED WITHOUT A CSDFRLOG IF CSDRLS=NO. CICS IS TERMINATED.
Explanation:

The system initialization parameter CSDRECOV=ALL has been specified together with CSDRLS=NO, but CSDFRLOG has either not been specified, or has been specified as NO.

If the CSD is to be accessed in non-RLS mode (CSDRLS=NO) and forward recovery is specified (CSDRECOV=ALL), a forward recovery log must also be specified using the CSDFRLOG system initialization parameter.

If the CSD is to be accessed in RLS mode (CSDRLS=YES), the recovery attributes are obtained from the VSAM catalog and CSDRECOV and CSDFRLOG are ignored. For this reason, the check for CSDFRLOG when CSDRECOV=ALL is not carried out when CSDRLS=YES.

System action:

CICS initialization is terminated.

User response:

You should specify CSDFRLOG=nn when you specify CSDRECOV=ALL together with CSDRLS=NO, where nn is a number between 1 and 99.

If you want to access the CSD in non-RLS mode, but also choose to specify the recovery attributes for the CSD in the VSAM catalog, the system initialization parameters relating to CSD recovery attributes are not used. However, you are still required to have a consistent set of these parameters.
