Issue/Introduction

At CICS start time the client sees the following messages in the CA DADS Plus for CICS DADSLOG. 

DADSA591 TRANSACTION NOT FOUND: XXXX 

DADSA591 TRANSACTION NOT FOUND: ZZZZZ 

Environment

Z/OS CICS

Cause

You can associate CICS transactions to files that are under CA DADS Plus for CICS control. In this example transactions XXXX and ZZZZ are associated with FCT file FILE001 as listed below on the inquiry screen. 

 TYPE  ===>  T   NAME  ===>  FILE001

 XXXX    ZZZZ 

So when file FILE001 is allocated at CICS startup time or when FILE001 is allocated via a batch job transaction XXXX and ZZZZ will be enabled.  

In this case the PCT RDO entries for transaction XXXX and ZZZZ were define to DADS in upper case but the PCT entries were in mixed case so they could not be found.

Resolution

Any transactions that are define to CA DADS Plus for CICS must have a corresponding RDO PCT entry. In this case the client encountered a problem due to the transactions being in MIXED case. So not only to the transaction must exist but they are case sensitive. 

CEMT should be used to inquiry on the transactions in question.
