Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to a new release of Datacom CICS Services, I am getting the following messages during CICS start up : 

IDAEPLTP01F - IDEAL PLT TASK TO BUILD IN-CORE MODULE TABLE FAILED 
IDAEPLTP14F - DATADICTIONARY FILE TABLE IS NOT OPEN. 

Trying to open it with DBOC OPEN=02 gets the following errors:

DC00205E COMPONENT DCCTXPR IS NOT ACTUALLY DCCTXPR 
DC00270W CICS INTERFACE UNUSABLE 
DC00380I TRANSACTION COMPLETED. 

Resolution

The IDEAL errors will be resolved once Datacom CICS Services is working. The DC00205E error indicates the  DCCTXPR exit is from an older release. Since release 14.0, the DCCTXPR exit was changed to add a #MID coremark.

You need to modify your exit according to the sample source code provided in CAB1MAC(DCCTXPR) and then recompile and link the exit. You can check if it has a #MID coremark by issuing the CICS command:

DBUT M=DCCTXPR+60

It should show something like:

ADDRESS  OFFSET  -------  DATA IN HEX FORMAT ------- -CHARACTER FORMAT-
                +0       +4       +8       +C        0   4   8   C

If you are using SYSVIEW, you need a new DCCTXPR exit from the Sysview CNM4BSAM SAMPLIB.
