CAIENF/CICS Troubleshooting Checklist

The following items may help you identify the problem.

  1. Is the proper CAIENF/CICS intercept module present in the CAW0LOAD data set?

    Check the CAS9Cxx Load Module. The value for xx should match the version of CICS/TS you are running. Valid values are as follows:

CAS9Cxx Value

Version of CICS/TS

64

3.1.0

65

3.2.0

66

4.1.0

  1. Is the CAW0LOAD in the z/OS LINKLIST or STEPLIB concatenation?

    Add it if it is not.

  2. Are all of the required DCMs present in the CAIENF startup procedure?

    If a required DCM is missing, add the DCM configuration statement to the CAIENF ENFPARMS data set. Some frequently-used DCMs are: CAS9DCM2, KO50DCM2, J152DCM2, and J161DCM2.

  3. Is the CA application initialization module available to CAIENF through the STEPLIB or the LINKLIST?

    If it is not, make it available. Some frequently used application initialization modules are: TSSTCINT, ACFAEINT, and CAKSCINT.

  4. Check how and where the intercept module is being loaded.
  5. Is the module CAILPAM located in the CAI.CAW0LINK data set?

    If CAILPAM is not in the system linklist, and the intercept module is being loaded in CICS private, then CAILPAM must be found in the CICS STEPLIB.

  6. Is the problem happening in all CICS regions?

    If yes:

    If no:

  7. Are you getting any messages (like TSS/CICS Phase 1 Initialization... or ACFAE023 CA ACF2 CICS Waiting on CAIENF/CICS Initialization.)?
  8. What does the ENF STATUS display indicate?

    Is the CICS job name found in the list? Is the APPLID displayed? Is the auto install feature active?
