Issue/Introduction

When applying the InterTest for CICS base product the APPLY fails with error messages

GIM54701E ** ALLOCATION FAILED FOR SMP00002 - IKJ56228I DATA SET CICSTS.SDFHLOAD NOT IN CATALOG OR CATALOG CAN NOT BE  ACCESSED.

GIM54601E ** DYNAMIC ALLOCATION FAILED FOR SMP00002 BECAUSE SDFHLOAD IS PART OF THE SMP00002 CONCATENATION BUT WAS NOT ALLOCATED.

 

Cause

When the CSI for InterTest CICS is initially defined during the base product install, you assign the SDFHLOAD DDDEF to point to your CICS SDFHLOAD dataset. 

During the APPLY, SMP/E allocates the SDFHLOAD to link in the CICS load modules into the Intertest for CICS modules. If the SDFHLOAD library that you assign to the SDFHLOAD DDDEF does not exist the dataset will fail to allocate. The GIM54701E message points to the dataset that does not exist. (In this case CICSTS.SDFHLOAD does not exist.)

Review the install JCL member and search for SDFHLOAD to see what dataset is associated with the SDFHLOAD.

ADD DDDEF(SDFHLOAD)

     SHR DA(CICSTS.SDFHLOAD).    (default dataset name)

Resolution

Update the SDFHLOAD DDDEF in the CSI with the correct CICS SDFHLOAD dataset name. 

This can be done from SMP/E in ISPF:
