Issue/Introduction

When reviewing the CICS region startup of DBOC processing, there is a message produced:

DC00121W  DFHRPL DB LIB 00.0.00 AND TESTMUF  15.1.02 HAVE DIFFERENT LEVEL SETS

What is the cause of this message?

Environment

Datacom CICS Services 15.1

Datacom/DB 15.1

z/OS

Cause

Level Set checking was introduced with PTF LU09956 to report discrepancies between the DBLVLPR Level Set value of the Datacom/DB CICS DFHRPL library used by CICS and the Level Set value of the Datacom/DB library used by the Multi-User Facility (MUF). The description indicates, "DB Level Set values will display as "00.0.00" if Program Auto Install is not active." or if the DBLVLPR module has not been installed/loaded in the CICS region.

Resolution

There are some steps to confirm the values of that DCC00121W message.

1. In the CICS region, issue the command CEMT I PROG(DBLVLPR), then select the entry ('S') and scroll down until you see the loadlib used for this module. Be sure that this is the correct loadlib for this CICS region. If the DC00121W message has zeroes for the DB LIB, you should expect that CEMT cannot find DBLVLPR in the CICS DFHRPL concatenation and will show "NOT FOUND" instead of the module info.
2. Exit CEMT, and then issue the command DBUT M=DBLVLPR+20 from a clear screen. You should see something like this:

                    +0       +4       +8       +C        +10      +14      +18      +1C        0   4   8   C   10  14  18  1C

3. Then, issue this MUF console command: /F mufjobname,DISPLAY DBLVLPR 20 and you should get a similar output in the MUF JESLog:

   DB01311I - DISPLAY DBLVLPR 20                                               
   DB01310I - 3B720898  0000002C A1A5A599 9994944D F1F5F0F1  .... VVRRMM(1501  
   DB01310I - 3B7208A8  F0F25D40 A1A5A54B 99994B94 944DF1F5  02)  VV.RR.MM(15  
   DB01310I - 3B7208B8  4BF14BF0 F2405D40 CA7BD4C9 C4CA0100  .1.02 )  #MID ..  
   DB01310I - 3B7208C8  004800A8 00000048 C4C2D3E5 D3D7D940  ...Y....DBLVLPR   
   DB01325I - CONSOLE COMPLETE, DISPLAY DBLVLPR 20  

If there is a problem with the CICS Level Set information, you should verify that the HOLD action for LU09956 was done to define the DBLVLPR program to the B115GRP group, and that the group was installed and the program newcopied.
