Issue/Introduction

Description

I'm receiving DTS (-41) errors during an attempt to connect to CA IDMS using the CA IDMS ODBC driver (or Type 2 JDBC Driver).
What is the underlying cause of this error?

Solution

There are a number of possible reasons why this error may occur:

1. One reason is that the CAIENF and the CAICCI subsystem was not started after an IPL of the LPAR.
   
   In the CAIENF joblog check for the following message:

        CAS9626I - CAICCI Subsystem is operational   

2. Another reason is that CAIENF and the CAICCI subsystem was started after the IDMS region brought up.
   
   ENF and CAICCI must be started before an IDMS system (having a CCILINE to be ENABLED at startup) may be started. If CAICCI is not running, then you get this error.
   
   One resolution is to vary the cciline within IDMS. At the Enter Next Task Code, by issuing the command:

        'DCMT VARY LINE CCILINE ONLINE'       DC274001 V1700 USER:USERJSM   LINE CCILINE VARIED ONLINE  

3. Check in Common Services Systems (also known as CA90s); that IDMS system-ID is a known "RESOURCE" within CCI. The command to use is:

                                                        F ENF,DISPLAY,RESOURCES

   The response should include the IDMS CV system id (located in the IDMS SYSTEM statement in the SYSGEN).
   
   Check that the Common Services System administrators installed CAIENF from Common Services Systems (CA90s).

• Within the IDMS startup job, verify that the CCILINE opened successfully with the following message in the IDMS jeslog:

        DC390015 Vxxx OPENING LINE CCILINE 

  and check in the IDMS jes log or OLP for any abends/messages.

• The target CA IDMS CV may not have been started. Check in SYSVIEW for the IDMS startup job and check if it has been brought up or abended.

• The CCITCP address space may not be running or may be listening on a different port from that configured. Check the MVS system console for the following message to indicate that the CCITCP address space has started:

        CAS9850I CAICCI TCP/IP Server Ready PORT xxxxx ADDR xxxxxxxx 

• The IDMS central version is not accepting new run units because there are an insufficient number of Pterms. Monitor the number of Pterms and their usage via the command 'DCMT DIS LINE CCILINE'.

        DIS LINE CCILINE                                                      *** Physical Line Display ***                                          PLine-ID CCILINE                                                            Status InSrv                                                              Module LV                                                                 DDNAME1 SYST1700                                                           LTerm-ID PTerm-ID Type/M Status Term-ID    FES-ID   UCF-Stat UCF-Mode       LTECCI01 PTECCI01 BULK   Discon                                             LTECCI02 PTECCI02 BULK   Discon                                             LTECCI03 PTECCI03 BULK   Discon                                             LTECCI04 PTECCI04 BULK   Discon                                             LTECCI05 PTECCI05 BULK   Discon                                             LTECCI06 PTECCI06 BULK   Discon                                             LTECCI07 PTECCI07 BULK   Discon                                             LTECCI08 PTECCI08 BULK   Discon                                             LTECCI09 PTECCI09 BULK   Discon                                             V1700  ENTER NEXT TASK CODE:     CA IDMS RELEASE 17.0 TAPE GJH01M NODE
