Issue/Introduction

Both ACF2 and CICS have just been upgraded: CA ACF2 from v12 to v16; CICS TS from 2.3 to 4.2.  Event Notification Facility (CAIENF)  is running with the CICS component.

When ENF was enabled with "F ENF,MODE(CICS,NONE)"  the abend is seen:

+DFHXS1103I CICSRGN Default security for userid user1 has been established.

Environment

Resolution

In this case, a review of the dump reveals a back-leveled copy of  ENF load module CAS9CICS. 

This LMOD should be found in the CCS CAW0LOAD library.

Please check both linklist and ENF steplib for this module and make sure it matched your SMP/E installation target library
