MIM Console (MIC) - getting error MIC3039W No linkage defined which can service command - suppressed

Products

• MIM Message Sharing (MIC)

Issue/Introduction

Seen in the syslog when issuing command:
CONPRD12 00000290  <ALL D U,XXXX,1   
                      00000090  MIC3039W No linkage defined which can service command - suppressed

Environment

MIM Console (MIC) R12.5 on Z/OS

Cause

Converting to SDSF from IOF.

Resolution

Issue the @D LINK ALL command.  This displays all consoles defined for MIC.

Console id from the message (CONPRD12) will need to be added dynamically.

Best practice is to review existing LINK statements in the MICCMND member.
In this case we see
LINK    CONSOLE=CONS*,                       
        SYSID=ALL,POOL=SHARE,AUTHORITY=MASTER

So new consoles would use the same additional parameters as existing ones.
If only these consoles are needed, this can be accomplished dynamically using the following MIM commands:

F MIM,LINK CONSOLE=CONPRD12,SYSID=ALL,POOL=SHARE,AUTHORITY=MASTER
F MIM,LINK CONSOLE=CONTST12,SYSID=ALL,POOL=SHARE,AUTHORITY=MASTER

Alternatively, they can use wildcarding in case other similar terminals may be used, for example

F MIM,LINK CONSOLE=CONPRD*,AUTHORITY=ALL,SYSID=ALL
F MIM,LINK CONSOLE=CONTST*,AUTHORITY=ALL,SYSID=ALL

In this instance it was determined there were 2 groups of consoles being used.
CONPRD*
CONTST*                       

These need to be added to the MICCMND member. The easiest would be to wildcard all into one statement

LINK    CONSOLE=CON*,                       
        SYSID=ALL,POOL=SHARE,AUTHORITY=MASTER 

or if you prefer to keep the more granular masking, it would be

LINK    CONSOLE=CONPRD*,                       
        SYSID=ALL,POOL=SHARE,AUTHORITY=MASTER
LINK    CONSOLE=CONWRK*,                       
        SYSID=ALL,POOL=SHARE,AUTHORITY=MASTER
