Issue/Introduction

The Database Management Solutions for Db2 for z/OS Create Db2 Objects Post Installation customization task, ssid0001, is failing on the first load step:

DSNU1640I DSNUGUTC - Z/OS DFSORT LOAD MODULE NOT LOADED.
DSNU012I DSNUGBAC - UTILITY EXECUTION TERMINATED, HIGHEST RETURN CODE=8
BPA0016E DB2 UTILITY APPLICATION - INCOMPLETE

Cause

IBM forced the usage of DFSORT as the sort package for IBM Db2 Utilities with Db2 v8. This problem can occur when DFSORT is not your primary sort package.

Resolution

Add the sort libraries to the relevant SETUPxx member in your hlq.CDBAPARM, for example:

Under the definition for the relevant subsystem:

LOADLIBS ( db2lib.SDSNEXIT
db2lib.SDSNLOAD
SYS1.SICELINK
SYS1.SORTLPA )

Batch Processor will then be able to reference the libraries from SETUPxx.
