member-name identifies the name of the member being processed as one of the following:
  • CBKCFTBL
  • CBKSRVR
  • CBKBATCH

request is either ALLOCATE or READMEMBER, indicating the type of request being processed when the error occurred.

retcode and rsncode are the return and reason codes returned by the logical parmlib concatenation service.

jobname Unable to establish IRC communications to ship batch request to CICS region applid Batch request utility abending with abend code U3112.

Explanation

The CICS BAC batch request utility is unable to establish IRC communications with CICS region applid while attempting to ship a batch request command to the CICS region.

System action

The batch request utility job step abends with abend code U3112.

User response

This condition is most likely occurs because no CICS region has started IRC communications on the MVS image, and the CICS EXCI DFHXCOPT options table does not specify an MRO SVC for EXCI communications use. See the CICS External Interfaces Guide for more information. Contact technical support if you cannot determine and correct the cause of the problem.

identifier Unknown error received from region applid during request-type request. Error codes: code1 code2 code3 code4 code5

Explanation

The communication server or batch request utility has received an unknown error condition in response to an EXCI request sent to CICS region applid.

identifier is the job name of the batch request utility if the error has occurred in batch request utility processing. identifier is the ID (cbkid) of the communication server if the error has occurred while processing a workstation administration client request.

request is ‘EXCI’ or ‘DPL’ indicating the type of request that resulted in the error:
  • For an EXCI request, code1 through code5 provide the contents of the 5-word return area (return_area) passed back on all EXCI requests.
  • For a DPL request, code1 through code3 provide the contents of the 3-word return area (dpl_retarea )passed back on an EXCI DPL_Request command. Note that for a DPL_request command, code4 and code5 are not meaningful and should be ignored.

See the CICS External Interfaces Guide for explanations of the EXCI response and reason codes areas (return_area and dpl_retarea) returned by the EXCI CALL Interface.

System action

If the error has occurred in the communication server address space as a result of a workstation administration client request, the communication server terminates the client request.

If the error has occurred in a batch request utility job step, the job step abends with a U3111 abend.

User response

If you can determine and correct the cause of the error, retry the request or rerun the batch request utility job step. Otherwise, contact technical support.

identifier EXCI error detected after reply received from region applid. Processing continuing. Error codes: code1 code2 code3 code4 code5

Explanation

The CICS BAC request server task running in CICS region applid has previously sent a normal response after processing a batch request utility command or a workstation administration client request. However, an error has now occurred after sending the normal response. This could occur, for example, if an error was returned on an EXCI Close_PIPE request.

code1 through code5 provide the contents of the 5-word return area (return_area) passed back on all EXCI requests. See the CICS External Interfaces Guide for explanations of the EXCI response and reason codes areas (return_area and dpl_retarea) returned by the EXCI CALL Interface.

If this occurs while processing a batch request utility request, identifier is the job name of the batch request utility. If this occurs while processing a workstation administration client request, identifier is the ID of the communication server that processed the request.

System action

Processing continues.

User response

Verify that the results of the batch request utility or workstation request are what was expected. You should also determine the cause of the error condition to ensure that it does cause problems with future requests or commands.

identifier CICS region applid termination detected during EXCI processing. Results unpredictable. Error codes retcodersncode

Explanation

The target CICS region applid has terminated while processing a request from a batch request utility job step or a workstation client request from a communication server. retcode and rsncode contain CICS BAC internal error codes.

If this occurs while processing a batch request utility request, identifier is the job name of the batch request utility. If this occurs while processing a workstation administration client request, identifier is the ID of the communication server that processed the request.

System action

If this occurred during batch request utility processing, the job step terminates with abend code U3113.

If this occurs during the processing of a workstation request, the communication server terminates the request.

User response

Results are unpredictable depending on when the region terminated with respect to the CICS BAC processing that was taking place. You should evaluate the results of the request and take action accordingly.
