System Definition Table for CICS PA xxxx has
a format error
Explanation
CICS PA determined
that the Table containing your CICS® System and SMF File definitions is
not in the correct format.
- If the CICS PA version
is V1R1, then CICS PA was
attempting to upgrade your CICS PA V1R1
definitions to V1R2 or later, but failed to do so.
- If the CICS PA version
is V1R2 or later, then CICS PA failed
to read your saved System Definitions.
The System Definitions Table is a member in your Permanent ISPF
Table Library, which is specified in your
CICS PA Settings.
- For CICS PA V1R1,
the member name is CPASMFIN.
- For CICS PA V1R2
or later, the member name is CPASMFI2.
System action
Processing is terminated.
User response
Try one of the following:
- If the problem occurred during an upgrade from CICS PA V1R1
to V1R2 or later, then you can retry you request. When prompted to upgrade
your CICS PA V1R1
System Definitions, reply Exit or Cancel.
- For CICS PA V1R2
or later, delete member CPASMFI2 from your Permanent ISPF Table Library, then
retry your request.
Note: In both cases, you will lose your saved System Definitions
and you will not be able to recover them. If this problem is occurring regularly,
or you do not want to delete your saved System Definitions, then contact your
IBM representative for help.
