Issue/Introduction

When doing a base install of CA Verify for CICS release 9.0, the receive step fails with IEFA107I ELT4RECD RCVBD SMPHOLD - DATA SET not found.

Environment

Component: VERIFY

Cause

The CA Verify for CICS r 9.1 Installation guide is missing a step during the install process. The user is not instructed to run JCL member ELT1HOLD which creates the SMPHOLD dataset before the receive step ELT4RECD is executed (this error will be corrected in the documentation).

Resolution

Run JCL member SAMPJCL(ELT1HOLD) before running the receive JCL member SAMPJCL(ELT4RECD), so that the SMPHOLD dataset will exist before the RECEIVE step is executed (which references the SMPHOLD dataset).

 

JCL to obtain the HOLDDATA:

 

//* MEMBER: ELT1HOLD

//FTPSTEP EXEC PGM=FTP,PARM='(EXIT=08'

//SYSTCPD  DD  DSN=TCPIPDSN,DISP=SHR

//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*

//OUTPUT   DD  SYSOUT=*

//INPUT    DD  *
