DFHMA08103E CICS-START-ERRMSG

Explanation

An EXEC CICS START command failed in the CICS Service Flow Runtime.

This error can occur in the following programs:

DFHMALSC
DFHMALSC is a program that cleans up the state information for simple, nonpersistent service flows, where state information is stored, retrieved, and deleted in temporary storage queues.
DFHMALFC
DFHMALFC is a program that cleans up the state information for simple, persistent service flows and complex service flows, where state information is stored, retrieved, and deleted in the Link3270 VSAM state file, DFHMAL2F.

Both DFHMALSC and DFHMALFC programs schedule and reschedule task STARTs using their transaction IDs, with an INTERVAL as defined in the terminal data when initially started by terminal input or as defined in the INITPARM system initialization parameter of the region. DFHMALSC transaction ID is CMAK. DFHMALFC transaction ID is CMAF. Each module can also schedule STARTs of transaction CMAD, when Link3270 facilities might have to be deallocated.

System action

Service flow processing ends.
