Start up of CA 11 receives DB00501E - OPEN ERROR - RETURN CODE 68 (012) CXX

Products

• CA-11

Issue/Introduction

The initialization of CA 11 receives  the following error:

DB00501E - OPEN ERROR - RETURN CODE 68 (012) CXX 

Environment

Release: 11.0
 

Resolution

If the  Datacom/AD MUF has successfully initialized, the following steps are necessary to determine why the return code is occurring:

• Verify that CA 11 is starting on the same LPAR as  Datacom/AD.
  
  
• If CA 11 is starting on an LPAR (within the sysplex) other than the one  Datacom/AD MUF is active on, the Datacom/AD SVC should be initialized by CAIRIM on that LPAR.                                                                                                                                    
• Within a sysplex, CA 11 on remote LPARs connects to the  Datacom/AD MUF via XCF.  Verify that the XCFFROM MUF Startup option is uncommented in the DBDATIN1 member in CUSMAC library.  The XCFFROM option should  specifies '*' for the first parameter (wild card task names that can access the MUF).  The correct TOGROUP value must also be specified. 
  
  
• If CA 11 is starting on an LPAR (outside sysplex) other than the one  Datacom /AD MUF is active on, the CCI Setup for  Datacom/AD needs to be in place. For additional information see  Connecting to z/OS Using CAICCI (CCI)
  
  
• Verify that the MUF startup option has the same value as the MUFNAME or TARGET_MUF_LIST value in the DBIDSPR member in the Datacom/AD CUSMAC library.
