Issue/Introduction

Question:

When CPF starts we are receiving the error message:  CAS5117I CPF journal file for node JRNLRECV could not be opened.  

What is wrong?

Answer:

The CPF journal files used by CA ACF2 CPF (Command Propagation Facility) need to be initialized. You cannot just use IEFBR14 to create (allocate) a larger journal file.  CA ACF2 provides a job to initialize the CPF journal files.

The CA ACF2 provided CAX1JCL0 library member INITJNL is used to allocate and initialize the CPF journal files.  Edit this job to specify your journal file names and then submit this job.

Additional Information:

Refer to the CA ACF2 Implementation Guide (chapter on Command Propagation Facility) for additional information regarding the CPF journal files.
