CTGRRMS services fails to initialize

CICS® Transaction Gateway might fail to start the CTGRRMS services if the CTGRRMS version is incompatible.

Symptom

Message CTG8659E with return code 1792 is issued.

If CICS Transaction Gateway V7.2 or V8.0 is used with a V6.1, V7.0, or V7.1 CTGRRMS, the following message is also written to the system log:

IEF170I 1 CTGRRMS  IEA995I SYMPTOM DUMP OUTPUT 269 
SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=0C4  REASON CODE=00000011  
... 
ACTIVE LOAD MODULE       ADDRESS=1AD00048 OFFSET=0000117C    
 NAME=CTGINIT

Probable cause

The return code 1792 might indicate that SCTGLINK installed with a version V6.1, V7.1 or V7.2 of CICS Transaction Gateway is specified on the LNKLST and CICS Transaction Gateway Version 7.2 or 8.0 is used.

Action

Configure the LNKLST to refer to the SCTGLINK data set that is installed with the release of the Gateway daemon you are using. See Starting CTGRRMS services for more information. When multiple releases of the CICS Transaction Gateway are installed on the same IBM® z/OS® image, the LNKLST must refer to the SCTGLINK that is installed with the latest release of the CICS Transaction Gateway.
