DFHSI1547
applid Notification of a default qualified LUNAME to the recovery manager domain has failed.
Explanation:

CICS is running with VTAM=NO, or an attempt to open the VTAM ACB has failed.

If VTAM=NO is specified, CICS uses the UOWNETQL system initialization parameter to form a default qualified LUNAME to pass to the recovery manager. If the VTAM ACB failed to open, CICS uses UOWNETQL to form the default qualified LUNAME. If UOWNETQL has not been specified, CICS sets UOWNETQL to the invalid value ‘9UNKNOWN’ to highlight the problem.

An attempt was then made to transfer the default qualified LUNAME of the system to the recovery manager domain for use in constructing unit of work (UOW) identifiers. The attempt failed, indicating a serious error.

System action:

CICS continues. UOW identifiers constructed by the recovery manager domain do not contain a qualified luname.

XMEOUT Parameter: applid

DFHSI1562
applid Unable to initialize application domain statistics.
Explanation:

During CICS initialization, an error was detected while the application domain (AP) statistics control module, DFHSII1, was being initialized. This could indicate a problem with the AP component of CICS.

System action:

An exception trace entry is made in the trace table and CICS terminates abnormally with a system dump.

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

User response:

This error may have occurred because of an earlier error detected by the kernel (KE) domain of CICS. Look for earlier messages from the KE domain beginning DFHKExxxx, CICS trace table entries with the prefix KE and a dump. These indicate the type of error and the action that should be taken.

If no earlier error is detected by the KE component, DFHSII1 makes an exception entry in the trace table (id=X'0700') and terminates CICS abnormally with code=1562 and with a system dump. In this case you will need further assistance from IBM. See CICS Problem Determination Guide for guidance on how to proceed.

CICS initialization cannot OPEN the VTAM access method control block (ACB) because VTAM does not recognize the APPLID (VTAM error X'5A'). There may be a user error in the value of APPLID (for example, on a SIT override) or the application subarea containing APPLID may not be active in VTAM. Alternatively, it may be possible that VTAM is still coming up. If so, the problem may correct itself when VTAM completes its initialization.

System action:

If this is an alternate CICS, wait for 15 seconds and retry the OPEN indefinitely. If this is not an alternate, CICS proceeds with the rest of initialization.

User response:

In the case of an alternate, check that VTAM is on its way up. If it is, check that the required application sub-area is active in VTAM. If it is, you may cancel this alternate.
If this is not an alternate, you can use CEMT to retry the OPEN when CICS has initialized.

Start of changeapplid Unable to initiate the Enterprise Java Resolution transaction CEJR. EJ resolution will not occur.End of change
Start of change
Explanation:

Enterprise Java domain processing uses transaction CEJR to resolve CorbaServers and DJars. This processing cannot occur before a given point in CICS processing. However, resolution can occur for CorbaServers and DJars created as part of RDO processing. Consequently, CEJR is initiated to execute EJ Resolution. Module DFHSIJ1 could not start transaction CEJR. Execution of the DFHIC TYPE=INITIATE macro failed. Either CEJR is not an installed transaction definition, or DFHEJITL is not an installed program definition.

End of change
Start of change
System action:

CICS processing continues. When a CorbaServer or a DJar is installed resolution will not occur.

End of change
Start of change
User response:

Ensure that transaction CEJR and program DFHEJITL are available for execution. Group DFHSTAND in DFHLIST contains the definitions needed for EJ resource resolution processing.

Use CECI to initiate CEJR as a non-terminal transaction. After CEJR has run once, the installation of CorbaServers and DJars should proceed.
