Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an invalid parameter value has been specified in the
  DSSGROUP section of the CICS TG configuration file, the
  Gateway daemon writes the following message to the error log:
   CTG6533E Unable to read the configuration file: 'com.ibm.ctg.s
    erver.configuration.exceptions.ConfigurationException: java.l
    ang.reflect.InvocationTargetException'.
  The Gateway daemon correctly fails to start.
  The error log message does not contain enough information to
  allow the user to determine the cause of the Gateway daemon
  startup failure.
  

Local fix

• Ensure the DSS policy section of the CICS TG configuration file
  contains correct parameter values.

  An invalid parameter value is specified in the DSS policy
  section of the CICS TG configuration file. This invalid value is
  preventing the Gateway daemon from starting. The following
  message is output to the error log:
  CTG6533E Unable to read theconfiguration file:
    'com.ibm.ctg.server.configuration.exceptions.ConfigurationExce
    ption: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException'.
  
  The error log message does not contain enough information to
  allow the user to determine the cause of the Gateway daemon
  startup failure.
  

Problem conclusion

• When an invalid parameter value is specified in the DSS policy
  section of the configuration file, CICS TG provides additional
  information in the output error log message.
