DFS0887A THE LOAD FOR DFSMDA MEMBER mmmmmmmm FAILED. REASON=xxxx

Explanation

This message can be generated either during an online change library switch process or at control region initialization.

During an online change library switch process, the PREPARE phase tries to load the DFSMDA member for the inactive ACBLIB. That load failed. The reason for the load failure is specified in xxxx. The member name, IMSACBA or IMSACBB, is displayed in mmmmmmmm.

At control region initialization, IMS tries to load the DFSMDA member for the active ACBLIB. That load failed. The reason for the load failure is specified in xxxx.

Possible reason codes that are passed in the message text are:
0001
Invalid MDA member
0002
Error reading member from STEPLIB
0003
Error reading member from IMSDALIB
0004
IMODULE GETMAIN failure
0005
Load error from IMSDALIB
0006
Load error from STEPLIB
0007
This reason code means one of the following two things:
  • Member not found in STEPLIB or IMSDALIB
  • OPEN processing for IMSDALIB timed out

System action

If this event occurs at control region initialization, IMS terminates abnormally with user abend 0071. If this problem occurs during an online change library switch (INIT OLC PHASE (PREPARE)), completion code 180 is returned to the SPOC. The message text is DFSMDA MEMBER LOAD FAILED.

System programmer response

Your responses are determined from the reason code. If the reason code indicates that DFSMDA member is not found, add the member and restart the process.
