CONTROL FILE INITIALIZATION INFORMATION
nnn fmt ddname vaddr dsname

Reason:

This message is issued each time CA MIM for z/VM is started. This message displays information about control files. The following information is shown for each entry in the DDNAMES MIM file:

nnn

For usable control files, this column contains sequential three-digit numbers that represent the order in which the control files are found. If there is a problem with a control file, this column shows a seven-character message code, and the message appears on the following line.

fmt

Indicates the format of the control file. It can be CMS, CMSFP, or MVS.

ddname

Indicates the ddname by which the control file is known. It must consist of the letters MIMTBL followed by two digits. The ddname with the lowest numerical suffix is the primary control file, and alternate files will be selected from the list in ascending numerical order.

vaddr

Indicates the virtual control unit address of the volume on which the control file resides. This is the virtual address by which the MIMGR service virtual machine knows the volume. It need not match the real volume address.

dsname

This field will contain the data set name of an MVS-formatted control file or the minidisk label of a CMS-formatted control file.

Action:

If no error messages are given, no action is needed. If an error message has been given, CA MIM for z/VM will attempt to continue as long as at least one usable control file has been specified. To correct any error, review the corresponding message description to determine the cause of the error.
