Issue/Introduction

Getting the following error when trying to start the Endevor ISPF interface- 

BC1PROUT: E0003 BC1PROUT MSGP ERROR - NO RESPONSE FROM BC1PSERV 
ENCS301S ENCOPTBL Not loaded from an authorized library 
CCSR010E C1SSESTA S306 at 3603F38E LMOD ENCSAUTH CSECT ENCSAUTH +00035E GTFNTS1 SYSUSER SYSUSER 

Environment

z/OS

Cause

The error message:

BC1PROUT: E0003 BC1PROUT MSGP ERROR - NO RESPONSE FROM BC1PSERV  

indicates that BC1PTSOE is unable to start NDVRC1 using the TSO/E authorized service facility - IKJEFTSR or TSOLNK. 

 

 

Resolution

Possible reasons are: 

- STEPLIB is not APF because at least one of the libraries in the chain is not APF authorized

- NDVRC1 is not defined in the TSO authorized commands table 

- NDVRC1 cannot be found in STEPLIB or LINKLIST.

Note that IKJEFTSR is a TSO service and is NOT going to use ISPLLIB DD at all.
If CSIQAUTH (which holds NDVRC1) is in ISPLLIB but not in STEPLIB, that is the problem. 

- CSIQAUTH is in LINKLIST but not APF authorized. The LINKLIST is not APF authorized by default
