Both the CFMPDS and CFMOPT data sets have been allocated using the CFMALLOC sample job.

What is causing these errors?

Environment

Release:
Component: CFM

Cause

These specific symptoms occur when the CFMOPT and CFMPDS datasets have been allocated BUT the CFMPDS cannot be found.

The CFMPDS dataset being referenced is the data set name specified on the 'CA Configuration Manager 19.0 for IMS' main menu, in the 'CFMPDS Data Set Name ===>' field.

The error code reported in the CFMC005 message is a dynamic allocation error.

Error Code=1708 indicates that the entry cannot be found.

 

Resolution

Check the data set name specified in the 'CFMPDS Data Set Name' field. This name should match the CFMPDS data set name that you created in the CFMALLOC sample job.

Issuing a 'TSO ISRDDN' line command whilst in the CFM main menu will display the CFMOPT data set that has been allocated.

Ensure the files allocated are those that were allocated by CIMTSAMP(CFMALLOC).
