Issue/Introduction
We are trying to ENABLE to COF(CICS Operator Facility) in our systems.
We have followed the steps in the OPS/MVS manual to Install the COF and set the OPS/MVS PARMS.
COF is started along with CICS start up through PLT.
In OPSPARM we have coded:
/* CICS Parameters
T=setPrm('INITCOF', 'YES')
T=setPrm('CICSAOF','YES')
We are issuing the ADDRESS OPSCTL command within a MSG rule to add the DESTIDs.
Despite following the manual there is no indicator of the COF facility starting in the OPSLOG.
Environment
OPS/MVS
CICS TS
Cause
The FMID was not installed
Resolution
Even though the implementation instructions were followed in the manual, the CCLXE03 FMID was missing on the applicable LPAR, which is required for COF usage. Once the FMID was installed, the COF facility worked as expected.
