 IEC141I 013-C8,IGG0193K,CAMIMGR,CAMIMGR,MIMLOG

 

Environment

Release : 12.5

Component : MIA FOR VM

Cause

The 'IGD020I SMS IS NOW ACTIVE' msg is issued after the s013 abend.

Resolution

Removing the ADDLOG MIMLOG SYSOUT(F) card is a workaround 

Additional Information

CAMIMGR starts then synchronizes. When it synchronizes - the contents of the synch member are executed and MIM posts back any address spaces that were suspended in the GRS exit, such as SMS.

The synch member contains the following command to change the SYSOUT from the default of A to F:

ADDLOG MIMLOG SYSOUT(F)

At the time this command is executed, SMS is possibly still waiting in the GRS exit and is not fully active. This caused the first error which is the S013-C8:
SYS3     20299 07:45:36.20 INTERNAL 00000290  ,ADDLOG MIMLOG SYSOUT(F)
SYS3     20299 07:45:36.20          00000281  IEC141I 013-C8,IGG0193K,CAMIMGR,CAMIMGR,MIMLOG
SYS3     20299 07:45:36.30          00000090  IGD020I SMS IS NOW ACTIVE

This appears to be a timing concern. You can see how close the timing is between the IGD020I message and the ADDLOG commands. If SMS became active first, the ADDLOG probably would have succeeded.

One of the reasons for a C8 reason code is that IEFSSREQ failed because SMS is not available.
