An external security initialization was performed on an active CICS system by use of a CEMT PERFORM SECURITY, or EXEC CICS SECURITY REBUILD.
The external security initialization has been tracked to the XRF alternate system, but has failed with return code xx and reason code yy.
xx and yy are the values placed in registers 15 and 0 by the external security manager.
CICS provides a system dump of the XRF alternate system, and continues tracking security initializations.
Message DFHME0116, which contains the symptom string for this problem, is produced.
The security characteristics of the alternate system no longer match those of the active system. Either shut down the alternate system, perform a security rebuild at takeover, or accept the difference.
Use the return codes in the message, to determine why the security initialization failed.
If the codes are invalid, you will need further assistance from IBM. See IBM problem support for guidance on how to proceed.
