GSVC701E SYSVIEW is already initialized when starting CICS region

Issue/Introduction

When some of our CICS regions are started, SYSVIEW is not initializing and returns the error message GSVC701E

 

In a test of a region that has a status of NOSTART, we tried to start by issuing F CICSDV1,GSVS START=WARM and the following messages appeared:

 

+GSVC720I SYSVIEW for CICS request started                    

+GSVC714I INITPARM parms: GSVI=GSVI,USER=*,START=COLD,SSID=GSVX  

+GSVC714I Request parms: GSVS START=WARM                         

+GSVC713I Starting transaction GSVI                              

+GSVC700I SYSVIEW for CICS initialization started     

+GSVC720I SYSVIEW for CICS request complete                   

+GSVC701E SYSVIEW is already initialized                      

We then tried command  F CICSDV1,GSVT to stop SYSVIEW interface and received the following:  

 

+GSVC703W SYSVIEW for CICS is not active                 

 

So we can not stop it or start it.     

Resolution

This ENQMODEL definition with a generic resource name will cause our ENQ for GSVCGSVI to be propagated outside the region in which it is issued, which is not the intent. We need the enq in order to remain local in the region. And this definition is in both DV1 and DV2 (and maybe others) so we probably start ok in the first one up and fail in the others.

Please try adding/installing this definition to keep our enq local in each region:
DEFINE ENQMODEL(GSVCGSVI)
ENQNAME(GSVCGSVI)
STATUS(ENABLED)
GROUP(SYSVIEW)
