Issue/Introduction
Following a maintenance change to Broadcom Database Management Solutions for Db2 for z/OS, users encounter the following error when attempting to invoke the Broadcom Database Management Solutions for Db2 for z/OS panel: PLATINIT not found
Cause
The issue is caused by a block size discrepancy in the CDBACLS0 dataset. If the dataset is recreated or modified during maintenance with a block size that differs from the original allocation, the system may fail to locate or load the PLATINIT element.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, the CDBACLS0 dataset must be recreated with DCB attributes that match the original specifications, specifically the block size. Here is the summary of what to do:
1 - Identify the current block size of the CDBACLS0 dataset being used.
2 - Compare this against the original or working version of the dataset.
3 - Create a new dataset with the correct original block size and other identical DCB attributes.
4 - Copy the members from the problematic CDBACLS0 dataset into the newly created dataset.
5 - Ensure the new dataset is correctly allocated to the SYSPROC DD.
6 - Re-attempt to invoke the Broadcom Database Management Solutions for Db2 for z/OS panel to confirm the PLATINIT element is now accessible.
