Issue/Introduction

 Changed ASM2 $OPTIONS $TPUNIT values and now receive the following error when starting IXR.

004_ ASMMN020 - IPC initalization error RC=20 RS=16 INF=36 _004 

Environment

Release: ASM2-Backup and Restore 4.2
 

Resolution

$OPTIONS values are positional in design. There are a specific number of entries that can be used and it is not a variable list. You can use existing provided lines for tape esoterics but you cannot add a new definition that does not already exist in the filed values that ASM2 provides. Remove any new lines that have been added and replace any lines that have been removed.

Reassemble $OPTIONS using the SAMPJCL(L142IKE) job provided, refresh the LNKLST, and restart IXR.
