DC00501I

applid mufname unit-of-work blanks IN DOUBT

Reason:

The status of the given unit of work (UOW) remains IN DOUBT. It cannot be determined whether this unit of work is going to be committed or backed out because this CICS was not the coordinator. This CICS is therefore waiting on either another CICS (or another system who is the coordinator) to decide whether to commit or back out.

The variables in the message text are as follows:

applid: Is the CICS application ID.
mufname: Is the name of the MUF.
unit-of-work: Is the CICS unit of work in 16 contiguous characters.
blanks: This message, unlike messages DC00503I and DC00504I, does not give monitor information here but instead shows blanks. For monitor information connected to this message, see the corresponding CA Datacom/DB message DB00130I as listed in the CA Datacom/DB Message Reference Guide.

Note: Messages DC00501I, DC00502E, DC00503I, and DC00504I can appear multiple times for the same transaction, same CICS task number, if the given task is involved with more than one MUF. See the example that follows in the description of message DC00504I.

Action:

Examine the list of messages for another DC00502E, DC00503I, or DC00504I for the same unit of work (16-character value). Some time may elapse between these messages. If none are found, determine who the real coordinator is and how to fix the problem. A good starting point at which to begin searching could be CEMT I,UOW.
