After CICS upgrade ( from CICS TS 5.3 to 5.6 ) , CICS startup shows error message :
ICPSINIT99E - ERROR DETECTED AT PSS INITIALIZATION PSS1 RF=4 R0=0
DFHAP0001 CICSPRO1 An abend (code 0C1/AKEA) has occurred at offset X'FFFFFFFF' in module VPEHJN73in module VPEHJN73.
When reviewing the KB I found the document Article ID: 24134 but it didn't help to solve the problem
Release : 15.1
According the PSS1 abend documentation, VLS errors were encountered while initializing the PSS spool library or the panel library. In this particular case, the customer realized that the ADROUT file had problems since the PGM=VLSUTIL ends with an error.
Customer created a new ADROUT file and initialized it and waited until CICS was restarted to show that this worked.
With each CICS upgrade you must assemble/link the CICS FCT with the new CICS libraries.
If more information is needed, run the following below and open a case with Datacom support for further assistance
Check that the CICS FCT entries are in place:
