Products

• File Master Plus for IMS
• File Master Plus for DB2 for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Upgrading to to  IMS v14 

Why am I getting a CEE3250C, and then the system or user abend U1215 R=NULL?     

Environment

Upgrade to IMS v14

Resolution

We have found the v9 File Master Plus for IMS load modules were concatenated above File Master Plus for IMS v10 load modules, which caused the problem.

Additional Information

The U1215 means that the call to authorized module CAWKGRBA failed. They’re running with an old CAWKGRBA. They should verify that the CDBIAUTH library (from which CAIRIM should load CAWKGRBA) was updated as part of applying maintenance. 

The CAIRIM refresh must be done to reload CAWKGRBA
