Issue/Introduction

Datacom MUF startup abends with error:

DB01217I - RESTART, INSUFFICIENT FORCE (FXX) TASKS 

Environment

Release: 15.1
Component: Datacom

Cause

The error is due to insufficient tasks allocated to the Force Area (FXX). By default during the installation this number is set to 1000.  This is compared to the number of tasks specified in the MUF TASKS startup option. If the number of tasks specified in the TASKS parameter is equal to or higher than the number allocated to the FXX then you will get the DB01217I error.

Resolution

To resolve the problem you will need to increase the number of FXX tasks by running DBUTLTY with the following parameter: 

INIT AREA=FXX,BLKSIZE=32760,BLOCKS=1,TASKS=1000 

The above reinitializes the FXX and changes the number of tasks to 1000.

The FXX must be initialized with a TASKS= value that is greater than the number specified in MUF TASKS startup option.
