Issue/Introduction

Description:

The IDMS 18.0 APPLY job fails with GIM23911E link-edit error and
the link-edit error is IEW2303E.

This problem may occur because some FMIDs cannot be installed at the site,
but no FMIDs are commented out in the SMP/E jobs. Most sites cannot install
the Culprit interfaces and should comment out these four FMIDs in each of
the SMP/E jobs.

One example of this problem is shown below. This example shows the failure for
module IDMSDATE in LMOD CULLTFDS; however it could fail for other modules.

   GIM23911E ** LINK-EDIT PROCESSING FOR SYSMOD CAGJI00 FAILED FOR MODULE   
   IDMSDATE IN LMOD CULLTFDS IN THE CAGJLOAD LIBRARY. THE RETURN CODE (08)   
   EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE VALUE. DATE 11.234 - TIME 16:05:50 - SEQUENCE NUMBER

Solution:

When the problem occurs, the best thing to do is delete the datasets and start over.

To comment out the products that SMP/E should not try to install, put a slash
asterisk (/*) in columns 2 and 3 or later.

An example of the syntax is shown below.

  APPLY   
   PTFS   
   FORFMID(   
   CAGJI00 /* CA IDMS Base Option */   
   CAGJI01 /* CA IDMS CICS Support */   
   /*CAGJI02 /* CA Culprit interface for FCS */   
   /*CAGJI03 /* CA Culprit interface for IMS */   
   /*CAGJI04 /* CA Culprit interface for RDMS */   
   /*CAGJI05 /* CA Culprit interface for Total */   
   )   
   SELECT (   
   CAGJI00 /* CA IDMS Base Option */   
   CAGJI01 /* CA IDMS CICS Support */   
   /*CAGJI02 /* CA Culprit interface for FCS */   
   /*CAGJI03 /* CA Culprit interface for IMS */   
   /*CAGJI04 /* CA Culprit interface for RDMS */   
   /*CAGJI05 /* CA Culprit interface for Total */   
         )   
      .
