Issue/Introduction

When executing the CADDUTIL utility job to append an additional LDS file, we are receiving the following errors:

CADD610E UTIL Unable to open  Root   LDS ROOT     (rc=0008) 

Environment

Release : 11.7

Component : CA Dispatch

Cause

These errors are typically caused by not bringing down the CADDSPLx environment tasks (CADZSPLx and CADZSAPx) first, before attempting to execute the CADDUTIL utility job. However, there are other reasons why these errors might be received.

Resolution

- Appending an LDS file is an 8 step procedure, in which, STEP 3 has you issuing one of the following commands to shut down the CADDSPLx environment: 

* /F SPLx,CLOSE command - (If no ACTIVE SAPI task processing or intercepts). 

* /F SPLx,CLOSE IMM command - (Close Immediate if the dynamic INTERCEPT function is ON and/or there is ACTIVE processing).

  This needs to be done before submitting the CADDUTIL utility job.

 

- If you are sure that the CADZSPLx and CADZSAP tasks are down, then other possible actions to take when these errors are received include:

  * For the CADD610E UTIL Unable to open Root LDS ROOT (rc=0008) - 

  Action: Verify that the DD statement referencing this file corresponds to a valid LDS.
                                                       

  * For the CADD614E UTIL Open Error for ROOT (rc=0008) - 

  Action: Verify the DD statement named ddname is related to a LDS file. If needed, contact Technical Support.

 

- Once the cause of the failure condition has been determined and addressed, you can resubmit the failed CADDUTIL utility job to append the LDS file.
