DC170204 at startup after IDMS updgrade

Issue/Introduction

After an IDMS upgrade, CV startup is issuing this message:

DC170204 CA IDMS - SVC nnn IS AN OUTDATED SVC. PLEASE INSTALL AND USE THE CURRENT SVC

 

Environment

Release: All supported releases.

Resolution

This message can be issued if the SVC being used for the IDMS CV is not the most current SVC. It can also mean that the order of the CSECTS included is not what IDMS expects. If including the SVC exit program IDMSSVCX, they must be in this order:

 INCLUDE OBJLIB(#SVCOPT)
 INCLUDE OBJLIB(IDMSMSVC)
 INCLUDE OBJLIB(IDMSSVCX)
 ENTRY IGCnnn
 NAME IGCnnn(R)

Startup expects the CSECT IDMSMSVC to immediately follow #SVCOPT. Including IDMSSVCX between #SVCOPT and IDMSMSVC will cause the DC170204 message at startup even though the SVC will function correctly.
