The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) is being initialized.
This means the CSZI transaction - FEPI - has started its processing. CSZI is started as part of CICS system initialization, if the system initialization parameter FEPI is set to YES.
If you specified FEPI=YES and this message does not appear during CICS initialization, CSZI failed to start; the most common reason for this is that group DFHFEPI is not included in the list specified by the GRPLIST system initialization parameter.
If message DFHSZ4001 is not followed by message DFHSZ4002, FEPI failed to start. In this case, a DFHSZnnnn message is issued to indicate the error.
FEPI initialization proceeds.
None.

DFHSZRMP(DFHSZSIP)
XMEOUT Parameters: date, time,applid
The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) has ended.
A DFHSZnnnn message may precede message DFHSZ4003 to indicate what caused FEPI to terminate.
EXEC CICS FEPI commands are made unavailable.
Resolve the problem indicated by the messages, then restart CICS.
Console and Transient Data Queue CSZL
DFHSZRMP(DFHSZSIP)
XMEOUT Parameters: date, time,applid
The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) cannot be started because the FEPI system initialization parameter was set to NO indicating that FEPI is not required.
This message usually means that you attempted to start the FEPI transaction (CSZI) manually, but did not set up the correct environment for it to run.
The FEPI transaction is not run.
If you require FEPI in the CICS system, restart CICS specifying the system initialization parameter FEPI=YES. You do not need to start the FEPI transaction manually.
Console and Transient Data Queue CSZL
DFHSZRMP(DFHSZSIP)
XMEOUT Parameters: date, time,applid
The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) cannot be started because FEPI is already active in the system.
This message usually means that you attempted to start a new instance of FEPI manually by running the FEPI transaction (CSZI), but the previous instance of FEPI failed in some way that caused an ‘active’ indication to be left in error.
The possible FEPI states (X'ssssssss') are:
The request to start a new instance of FEPI is rejected.
If the state suggests that a previous instance of FEPI failed, you must restart CICS to resolve the problem. You do not need to start the FEPI transaction manually.
Console and Transient Data Queue CSZL
DFHSZRMP(DFHSZSIP)
XMEOUT Parameters: date, time,applid, X'ssssssss'
The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) cannot be initialized because an attempt to enqueue on the FEPI enqueue name SZENQRMI failed, indicating that FEPI is already active in the system. FEPI initialization issues this enqueue to prevent a second instance of FEPI being present in the system.
This message usually means that you attempted to start the FEPI transaction (CSZI) manually, but there is a previous instance of CSZI still running.
The possible values of X'rr', the reason for failure, are:
The request to start a second instance of FEPI is rejected.
None.
Console and Transient Data Queue CSZL
DFHSZRMP(DFHSZSIP)
XMEOUT Parameters: date, time,applid, X'rr'
The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) cannot be initialized because creating the named storage subpool for FEPI use failed.
The values of X'rr', the reason for failure, are:
The values of X'ee', the response to the failed request, are:
FEPI initialization ends, and EXEC CICS FEPI commands are unavailable. An exception trace entry is generated.
The only action you can take is when there is insufficient storage, in which case you can increase the storage available to CICS on restart.
All other errors are system failures, and you should consult the system programmer. You need further assistance from IBM to resolve this problem. See CICS® Problem Determination Guide for guidance on how to proceed.
Console and Transient Data Queue CSZL
DFHSZRMP(DFHSZSIP)
XMEOUT Parameters: date, time,applid, pppppppp, X'rr', X'ee'
The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) cannot be initialized. Because FEPI is a long-running transaction (CSZI), it must not be subject to a runaway task time out. The request to prevent this failed.
The value of X'rr', the reason for failure, is always X'00'.
The values of X'ee', the response to the failed request, are:
FEPI initialization ends, and EXEC CICS FEPI commands are made unavailable. An exception trace entry is generated.
You need further assistance from IBM to resolve this problem. See CICS Problem Determination Guide for guidance on how to proceed.
Console and Transient Data Queue CSZL
DFHSZRMP(DFHSZSIP)
XMEOUT Parameters: date, time,applid, X'rr', X'ee'
The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) cannot be initialized because changing the dispatching priority of the FEPI transaction (CSZI) failed.
Because FEPI runs as a transaction, a high priority is required. The request to set this dispatching priority failed.
The values of X'ee', the response to the failed request, are:
FEPI initialization ends, and EXEC CICS FEPI commands are made unavailable. An exception trace entry is generated.
You need further assistance from IBM to resolve this problem. See CICS Problem Determination Guide for guidance on how to proceed.
Console and Transient Data Queue CSZL
DFHSZRMP(DFHSZSIP)
XMEOUT Parameters: date, time,applid, X'ee'
The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) usually runs under the CICS SZ TCB. Transferring the FEPI transaction (CSZI) from running under the QR TCB to the SZ TCB failed.
The values of X'ee', the response to the failed request, are:
FEPI initialization ends, and EXEC CICS FEPI commands are made unavailable. An exception trace entry is generated.
The SZ TCB is created as part of the early CICS initialization and you should examine the console log to see if any messages were generated indicating a TCB creation failure.
You need further assistance from IBM to resolve this problem. See CICS Problem Determination Guide for guidance on how to proceed.

The values of X'ee', the response to the failed request, are:
All these responses indicate that a system error has occurred.
An exception trace entry is generated.
FEPI tries to recover from this error by retrying the request. However, no action is taken to prevent multiple occurrences.
If this message occurs frequently, you should take a dump of the CICS system before restarting it. You need further assistance from IBM to resolve this problem. See CICS Problem Determination Guide for guidance on how to proceed.

DFHSZRMP(DFHSZZFR)
XMEOUT Parameters: date, time,applid, X'rr', X'ee'
The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) has acknowledged a shutdown request and is starting to terminate.
Message DFHSZ4003 is issued when FEPI completes termination.
FEPI terminates only in response to a CICS shutdown request (such as CEMT PERFORM SHUTDOWN). Some types of CICS shutdown can result in more than one DFHSZ4015 message being issued.
Certain EXEC CICS FEPI commands are made unavailable during FEPI termination.
Normal termination allows all transactions using FEPI resources to end before FEPI itself ends. However, no new usage of FEPI resources is permitted.
Immediate termination stops usage of FEPI facilities immediately but does a controlled shutdown of communication functions.
Forced termination stops usage of FEPI facilities immediately, and does the quickest possible shutdown of communication functions (which may lead to many VTAM messages being issued).
None.
