Error: C11ILIBD - dataset verification error when accessing CA 11 ISPF interface

Products

• Workload Automation Restart Option for z/OS Schedulers (CA 11)

Issue/Introduction

Attempts to access the CA 11 ISPF interface results in the following error:

"C11ILIBD - dataset verification error, menu not invoked"    

Environment

CA 11 r11.0 

Cause

The CA 11 ISPF verification routine expects the load library dataset name to end with the specific qualifier .CAL7LOAD.  If the dataset name contains additional nodes after this qualifier (e.g., ####.CA11.CAL7LOAD.####), the validation fails.

Resolution

Use one of the following methods to resolve the verification failure:

Method 1: Rename the Load Library

1. Identify the current CA 11 load library (e.g., ####.CA11.CAL7LOAD.####).
2. Rename the dataset so the final node is exactly CAL7LOAD.

Method 2: Invoke the CA 11 ISPF interface using a  REXX  to bypass verification

1. Create a new REXX exec (e.g., START11) to invoke the interface while explicitly passing the High-Level Qualifier (HLQ).
2. Use the following REXX script:
    

   /* Rexx - START11 - Start CA11 ISPF interface */ 
   address TSO                                          
   "EXEC '####.####.####.CAL7CLS0(C11ILIBD)' " ,   
   "'CA11HLQ=####.####.####'" 

3. Update the ISPF Selection Menu to call this new REXX member: CA11,'CMD(START11)'.

 

Additional Information

• Do not modify the C11ILIBD source code. Use the CA11HLQ= parameter to specify the qualifier.
