CIA08103E: CICS-START-ERRMSG

Explanation

An EXEC CICS START command failed in the CICS® Service Flow Runtime.

This error can occur in the following programs:
  • DFHMALSC

    DFHMALSC is the CICS SFR Link3270 State Cleanup module for adapter services of the single connector nonpersistent types, where state information is stored, retrieved and deleted in temporary storage queues.

  • DFHMALFC

    DFHMALFC is the CICS SFR Link3270 State Cleanup program for adapter services of the single connector persistent types and of aggregate connector persistent and nonpersistent deployment types where state information is stored, retrieved and deleted in the Link3270 VSAM state file (DFHMAL2F).

    Both DFHMALSC and DFHMALFC programs schedule and reschedule task STARTs of using their transaction Ids with an INTERVAL as defined in the terminal data when initially started via terminal input or as defined in the INITPARM parameter in the CICS SIT for the CICS SFR router region. DFHMALSC transaction ID is CMAK. DFHMALFC transaction ID is CMAF. Each module can also schedule STARTs of transaction CMAD, when CICS SFR Link3270 facilities may need to be de-allocated.

User response

The CICS Service Flow Runtime error log specifies the program module and transaction in which the CICS API command failed and the associated CICS response codes.

Dump the error log (DFHMAERF) to determine the cause of these problems. Reference the CICS Application Programming Reference for the specific CICS API commands and associated CICS response code values, meaning and appropriate user actions.
