Issue/Introduction

Issue:

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

But we are getting an abend U0200 at startup.

 

It looks like an issue with Lserv.

 

 

Environment: 

- z/OS

 

Cause:

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

 

According to the messages issued in the CA 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 CA Balancing.
