Issue/Introduction

Getting error message ESF7023 Unable to allocate socket errno=082. Process initialization error during CA Spool initialization.  

 

Environment

Release:
Component: CSPOOL

Cause

Common reason for getting this error is either an invalid userid is assigned to the CA Spool task or the userid does not have an OMVS segment defined in the security package. This is a requirement for TCP/IP print and the LPD interface.

Resolution

To correct insure you have a complete OMVS segment defined for the userid of the Spool started task.
