CPA0359W

Connector ID X'xxxx' not mapped by Performance Dictionary record

Explanation

There is an incompatibility between the CMF Performance records and their associated Dictionary record for the specified CICS® APPLID. The CMF Performance records contain data for the specified Connector ID, however their Dictionary record did not include a CMF field definition for this Connector ID. When the Field ID in error is a “CMF field”, then this might be a serious problem. It might be caused by the Dictionary and Performance records being generated by different versions of CICS. When the Field ID in error is a “User Field”, then this might indicate that the Dictionary record does not contain the User Fields defined in the MCT for this CICS APPLID.

System action

Processing continues for this CICS APPLID, however only CMF fields with Connector IDs resolved before the problem occurred are available for reporting.

User response

Your response will depend on the source of the Dictionary record. There are three possible sources from where CICS PA can obtain the Dictionary record:
  1. CICS PA found the Dictionary record in the SMF File. Message CPA0221I was issued previously to indicate this. If the Dictionary record was written by CICS when the Monitor started, then a serious problem has occurred. Use the CICS DFH$MOLS utility to analyze your CMF data. This will help you determine the source of the error. In this case, you might need to contact your IBM® representative for help.

    If you created the Dictionary record (using the CICS DFHMNDUP utility) and concatenated it ahead of your SMF File DD specification, then verify that the Dictionary record is for the correct version of CICS, or that your MCT specification matches the one used by CICS.

  2. The Dictionary record was created from the CICS PA dialog and CICS PA read it from the CPADICTR File. Message CPA0228I was issued previously to indicate this. If the Field ID in error is a “user field”, then you probably created your Dictionary record with an incorrect MCT specification. Return to the dialog and ensure that your MCT specification matches the one used by CICS.
  3. CICS PA used the default Dictionary record for your version of CICS. Message CPA0230I was issued previously to indicate this. If the Field ID in error is a “user field”, then your CICS APPLID probably uses an MCT with user fields defined. If you wish to report against the user fields, then create a Dictionary record using the CICS PA dialog.
