165.0. "Initial transaction Abend" by NETRIX::"ricardo.lopez@.sqo.dec.com" (Ricardo Lopez Cencerrado) Wed Jan 29 1997 15:09

Hello,

	A customer reports an error which happens every time they cold start a 
region: the transaction executed inmediately after starting the region abends 
with the code A144. The following is an extract of the console.msg file 
corresponding to that error:

ERZ015032E/0158 01/22/97 10:39:23 TCICSORA LIP1: Transaction 'ALT1' attempts
to run program 'PATU3
00' which is disabled
ERZ014016E/0028 01/22/97 10:39:23 TCICSORA LIP1: Transaction 'ALT1', Abend
'A144', at 'LIP1'.
ERZ016050W/0234 01/22/97 10:39:23 TCICSORA LIP1: Logical unit of work for
transaction 'ALT1' has b
een backed out; Distributed Transaction Service (TRAN) reason 'ENC-tra-1025: A
client (not the tra
nsaction service) aborted'

The solution they use is to execute NEWCOPY from CEMT, after this, the
transaction
runs fine. They have to repeat this process every time they restart CICS. The
transaction calls a MF Cobol program. The system is running OSF 3.2C, CICS 2.1
and
MF Cobol 3.2B.

Is this a misconfiguration problem in the region or some problem with their
code?. Is this related with note 164?.

Thanks in advance

165.1Program disabled in PD stanza?CICS03::helenHelen CakeWed Jan 29 1997 16:5131

Ricardo,

The following error in console.msg implies that the entry in the PD
stanza for the program PATU300 is disabled.  For the program
to execute sucessfully, it must be enabled.  You should be able to use
cicsupdate to do this.

>>ERZ015032E/0158 01/22/97 10:39:23 TCICSORA LIP1: Transaction 'ALT1' attempts
>>to run program 'PATU300' which is disabled

>>The solution they use is to execute NEWCOPY from CEMT, after this, the
>>transaction runs fine. 

I suspect that running CEMT NEWCOPY sets the program entry to be enabled.

>>They have to repeat this process every time they restart CICS. The
>>transaction calls a MF Cobol program. 

If they tried warm starting CICS (as opposed to cold starting), I would
expect the transaction to work OK.

If this is not the problem, please include information about any differences
between a cold and warm start of the region, the PD stanza entry and
the TD stanza entry in a reply here.  Also please say whether you are
trying to run with COBOL caching enabled.

Thanks,

Helen.
