DFS3381E CF INITIALIZATION FAILED, DATA=aa bbbbbbbb cccccccc ddeeffgg

Explanation

The coupling facility services function was not initialized. The DATA portion of the message identifies the reason for the failure:
aa
The place code, which identifies when the error was found. aa can have the following values:
Code (hex)
Meaning
10
While connecting to an OSAM structure
20
While connecting to an OSAM structure for sequential buffering
30
During connection to a VSAM structure
40
While passing connection data to VSAM for data shared resource pool
50
While passing connection data to VSAM for index shared resource pool
bbbbbbbb
The return code from the last service started. See z/OS® MVS Programming: Sysplex Services Reference (SA22-7618) for the values of this code.
cccccccc
The associated reason code. See z/OS MVS Programming: Sysplex Services Reference (SA22-7618) for the values of this code.
ddeeffgg
The associated flag bytes.
dd can have the following values:
Code (hex)
Meaning
80
Invalid function was requested.
40
Connection to the OSAM structure failed.
20
Too few OSAM buffers were returned during connection to the OSAM structure.
10
Connection to the VSAM structure failed.
08
Attempt to pass connection data to VSAM for data shared resource pool failed.
04
Attempt to pass connection data to VSAM for index shared resource pool failed.
02
Disconnection from the OSAM structure failed.
01
Disconnection from the VSAM structure failed.
ee can have the following values:
Code (hex)
Meaning
80
A dummy PST was obtained during coupling facility services initialization or execution.
40
Connection to the OSAM structure was successful.
20
Disconnection from the OSAM structure was successful.
10
Connection to the VSAM structure was successful.
08
Disconnection from the VSAM structure was successful.
ff can have the following values:
Code (hex)
Meaning
80
A request was received to stop data sharing because coupling facility services initialization failed.
gg can have the following values:
Code (hex)
Meaning
80
A read-and-register operation for the OSAM buffer failed.

Programmer response

If aa is 10, 20, or 30, see z/OS MVS Programming: Sysplex Services Reference (SA22-7618) for error return and reason codes that identify the cause of failure. If aa is 40 or 50, see the appropriate DFSMS publication for error return codes that identify the cause of failure.
