Issue/Introduction

While installing the IBM Explorer for z/OS, the tasks JMON and RSED, during startup of JMON and after defining the OMVS segment, the following error occurs:

"CEE5101C During initialization, the callable service BPX1MSS failed. The system return code was 0000000156, the reason code was 0B0C00FD. The application will be terminated." 

This can also occur with the IBM Z/SAM product:

CEE5101C During initialization the callable service BPX1MSS failed. The system reason code was 0B0C00FD. The application will be terminated.

Resolution

The RC=9C Reason Code=0B0C00FC usually means the USERID is missing a complete OMVS Segment. A valid OMVS Segment means that the ACID must minimally have a UID, HOME, GROUP, and DFLTGRP.  

For example, 
Run the following commands to see which OMVS segments are present and valid -vs- absent and invalid 
(ie to confirm that DFLTBAT is a GROUP type acid, and has a valid GID on it):
TSS LIST(user-id) SEGMENT(OMVS) 
TSS LIST(group-id) DATA(BASIC) 

Run these commands to create a valid OMVS:

TSS ADD(rsedacid) GROUP(omvsgrp) DFLTGRP(omvsgrp)
TSS ADD(rsedacid) UID(111123)
TSS ADD(rsedacid) HOME(/u/rsed)
TSS ADD(omvsgrp) GID(111456)

TSS ADD(jmonacid) GROUP(omvsgrp2) DFLTGRP(omvsgrp2)
TSS ADD(jmonacid) UID(000123)
TSS ADD(jmonacid) HOME(000789)
TSS ADD(omvsgrp2) GID(000456)

TSS ADD(zsamacid) GROUP(omvsgrp3) DFLTGRP(omvsgrp3)
TSS ADD(zsamacid) UID(100123)
TSS ADD(zsamacid) HOME(/u/ibmzsam)
TSS ADD(omvsgrp3) GID(100456)

To verify:  
TSS LIST(rsedacid) SEGMENT(OMVS)
TSS LIST(jmonacid) SEGMENT(OMVS)
TSS LIST(zsamacid) SEGMENT(OMVS)
