AKEF
Explanation
The kernel (KE) domain has detected an error while processing a domain call. The error may have been caused by a domain gate that was not yet active during initialization
System action
If an application is in control, the transaction terminates with a system dump. Otherwise, the functional recovery routine of the CICS module in control at the time is given control. This recovery routine produces suitable diagnostics and may terminate CICS.
User response
See any related messages from the kernel domain.
Look at the kernel domain section of the system dump to determine where the error has occurred. Check that a call has not been made to a domain gate that has not yet been made active. Check that the caller has not specified KERNERROR(YES).
If the abend occurs during CICS system initialization, ensure that the utility (DFHCCUTL) used to initialize the local catalog (DFHLCD) is at the correct level. A sample job is provided in SDFHINST(DFHDEFDS).
