DFS1198I CONVERSATION UNUSABLE. COMMAND/TRANSACTION INPUT REJECTED
Explanation
This error occurred for one of the following reasons:
- Conversational input data was entered to continue an IMS conversation. Due to the state of the terminal at the time the command was issued, the conversation cannot continue. The situation might be temporary if this conversation is being continued on a different IMS after the first IMS failed
- A /RELEASE command was entered for an IMS conversation that was being held. Due to the state of the terminal at the time the command was issued, the conversation cannot continue. The situation might be temporary if the conversation is being released on a different IMS system after the first IMS failed.
- Conversational input data was entered to continue an IMS conversation. However, the conversational transaction does not exist. This situation can occur in a sysplex environment using the IMS Resource Manager. If a terminal logs off or a user signs off while still in an IMS conversation, and then logs on or signs on to a different IMS system where the transaction is not defined properly, the conversation cannot be continued. Also, if the conversational transaction is deleted by an Online Change, then the conversation cannot be continued.
Terminal problems of this nature only occur when IMS is using the IMS Resource Manager in a sysplex environment.
System action
The transaction input or /RELEASE command is rejected.
Operator response
Wait a short time, then reenter the input. If the condition continues, you might need to issue the /EXIT command to clear the terminal and delete the conversation.
