VAMSSIRT IS NOT AT TOP OF CHAIN AND CANNOT BE REMOVED

Reason:

The CA Allocate SMS Subsystem Interface hook (VAMSSIRT) was not found at the top of the chain of hook modules, so it cannot be removed. This informational message is issued whenever an unsuccessful attempt is made, through a STOP or MODIFY REMOVE request, to deinstall one of CA Allocate's SVC hooks.

Either VAMSSIRT was already deinstalled, or more likely, another program product has installed its own hook over CA Allocate's. It is a requirement of MVS that hooks be deinstalled in LIFO order (Last In, First Out).

Action:

To complete the REMOVE of CA Allocate from your system, run the CA Allocate Started Task with the FORCE option. The system should continue running normally. An IPL corrects whatever condition caused this error.
