Issue/Introduction

 

While bring up our DR systems for testing, A VM system that runs MIMGR r12 received the following:

 

GCTABD226E Application 'MIMDRBGN' failed - System abend E38-0000

 

This runs fine at our primary location. Couldn't find information on this abend. 

Tried a restart with format chkpt, but same abend. 

 

 

Environment

Release : 12.0
Component : MIA FOR VM

Cause

It sounds as though the control file has been defined incorrectly on the newest system.

Resolution

Complete symptoms may look similar to

MIM0216 I/O error file 00 sense 8002 ...
CSIABD226E in MIMDRBGN abend E38 for GCS .


MIM0216 Sense 8002 is caused by a control file that is linked in read only mode.

Check the following:
1) The pack where the control file resides is defined as shared to VM on the new system.
2) The MDISK statement has MWV and that there is only 1 MDISK statement.
    (This should be for one of the original VM systems.)
3) The LINK statement has MW.(For all other systems not using the MDISK statement.)

Description:

 E38                                                                         
                                                                             
 Module:  GCTENQ                                                             
                                                                             
 Explanation:  A parameter that is not supported in the GCS environment was  
 coded in a call to the ENQ macro. The parameter is one of the following:    
                                                                             
 o   SMC=STEP                                                                
                                                                             
 o   SYSTEM, SYSTEMS                                                         
                                                                             
 o   TCB                                                                     
                                                                             
 o   Multiple requests with one macro call.                                  
                                                                             
 User Response:  Change the macro call so that it uses only supported        
 parameters.
