Issue/Introduction

The Coupling Facility List Structure Allocation Utility, PXMCFA, fails return code 12 with error:

IXL015I STRUCTURE ALLOCATION INFORMATION FOR STRUCTURE CADBT_LVLSET_001
        CONNECTOR NAME N/A, CONNECTIVITY=DEFAULT   
        CFNAME     ALLOCATION STATUS/FAILURE REASON          
        --------   ----------------------------------------  
        CF02       INVALID STRUCTURE SIZE:              1 M  
                   INITSIZE MUST BE AT LEAST:               2 M  
        CF01       INVALID STRUCTURE SIZE:              1 M  
                   INITSIZE MUST BE AT LEAST:               2 M

Cause

Message IXL015I indicates that the INITSIZE was allocated too small.

Resolution

In the sample PXMCF JCL provided in hlq.CDBASAMP, the INITSIZE is 8M.

STRUCTURE NAME(CADBT_LVLSET_001) SIZE(12M)  
              INITSIZE(8M)                  
              PREFLIST(cfname)
 
Based on the error messages the Policy INITSIZE needs to be increased to at least 2M.
