Issue/Introduction

After applying the required maintenance for ca-balancing we tried to start the Balancing started task on our test system.

But we are getting an abend U0200 at startup.

It looks like an issue with Lserv.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Environment

Release: OUTB..00200-1.1-Balancing
Component:

Cause

Common reason for getting abend U0200 is that the LSERV task is not active. 

 

According to the messages issued in the Balancing started task:

INB6301I CA-Balancing 1.1 is initialized - CA-L-Serv id = LSRV

 

the Balancing task is looking for LSERV with name LSRV.

Resolution

Ensure Lserv is active and running with your test environment.

The Lserv task must be started before Balancing.
