At startup CA 11 receives DB00501E RC 25 (20)

Products

• Workload Automation Restart Option for z/OS Schedulers (CA 11)

Issue/Introduction

The initialization of CA 11 receives the following error:

DB00501E - OPEN ERROR - RETURN CODE 25 (020) 

Environment

Release: 11.0

Resolution

When  Datacom/AD RC 25 (20) return code occurs during the start up of CA 11,  it is an indication that there was an attempt to open a database not defined to the directory.

You will see the messages similar to the following in the CA 11  started task job log:

  DB00501E - OPEN ERROR - RETURN CODE 25 (020) CXX=AD11CXX (601)  
             SUBID=0 SVC=210  
  U11D-0230-C UNABLE TO ACCESS CA-DATACOM DATABASE, OPEN, 25  
  DB13001E - UNEXPECTED RETURN CODE 25 (20) 

Ensure that the CXX DD statement in the Datacom/AD started task is referencing the correct CXX dataset which has the database defined to it. If the CXX dataset is correct, then it is possible that the database id is not defined and SAMPJCL library member AL7AD1  will have to be run.  After running AL7AD1, SAMPJCL library member AL7AD2 will need to be run to define the CA 11 files. Once this is done, you should run Datacom/AD DBUTLTY the following JCL to confirm that the database is present:

  //CXXRPT EXEC PGM=DBUTLTY,REGION=3M  
  //STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATACOM.CUSLIB  
  //        DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATACOM.CAILIB  
  //CXX     DD DSN=DATACOM.CXX,DISP=SHR <-----CXX NAME  
  //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*  
  //SNAPER DD SYSOUT=*  
  //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*  
  //SYSIN DD *
