If you experience any errors when attempting to create a platform definition or install a platform, follow this procedure to diagnose the problem and take suitable action.
When you create a platform definition, CICSPlex® SM creates a PLATDEF resource object in the data repository that points to the location of the platform bundle in zFS. When you install the platform definition, CICSPlex SM creates a PLATFORM resource object in the data repository. CICSPlex SM also creates the region types for the platform, adopting any existing system groups and creating any new ones identified in the platform bundle. CICSPlex SM attempts to install any CICS® bundles that are deployed with the platform bundle into the regions in each region type.
If an error occurs when you create or install a platform, the installation fails and all resources modified to that point get restored to their original state. Errors are reported in CICS Explorer® and you can use these errors as a starting point for troubleshooting.
CICS Explorer issues the error message CNX0592E for errors that occur when you are creating or installing a platform. This message is always preceded in the Error Log view by a CNX06xxE message that describes the action performed. When you receive message CNX0592E, review the attribute and error information in the message, and review the Error log view to determine the failing command and condition.
CICSPlex SM issues error messages to the CICSPlex SM output log (the EYULOG) for the maintenance point CMAS.
Look up the error codes for platforms in the PLATDEF Resource Table in the CICS TS 5.1 Information Center for platform definitions (PLATDEF), and the PLATFORM Resource Table in the CICS TS 5.1 Information Center for PLATFORM resources.
