Issue/Introduction

A new UFO Bridge file was created and defined to the CICS region with service requests of (READ,UPDATE,ADD,BROWSE,DELETE).

Command CEMT I FI(xxxx) shows that the Bridge file is also enabled and opened to CICS but any attempt to use UFO EXPORT results in "BRIDGE FILE INACCESSIBLE".

Resolution

The "BRIDGE FILE INACCESSIBLE" error message may be caused by an incorrect CICS definition.

The problem is that the UFO Bridge file was not defined with DATAFORMAT "V" (variable length).

Check the DATAFORMAT of your CICS definition via CEDA EXP FI(bridgefilename) GR(group).
You can use CEDA ALTER and update it to "V" but then the CICS region must be recycled.
