DFS690A CTL xxxx NOT ACTIVE, REPLY 'WAIT' OR 'CANCEL' - yyyyyyyy


or

job.step.proc-CTL PGM NOT ACTIVE, REPLY 'WAIT' OR 'CANCEL' OR 'alt-id'

Explanation

There are two forms of this message. In a Database Control (DBCTL) subsystem environment, a Coordinator Control (CCTL) subsystem tried to identify to an IMS control program that was not active. The inactive IMS control program is xxxx; the identifying CCTL is yyyyyyyy.

For the second form of this message: a dependent region started running when the IMS control or Database Control (DBCTL) region was not active.

System action

If you entered WAIT, the dependent region waits; if you entered CANCEL, the dependent region terminates. If you specified neither, the dependent region uses the reply as a name of an alternate control region to which it attempts to identify.

If you entered WAIT, the CCTL waits before attempting to identify again. If you entered CANCEL, the current initialization transaction is terminated.

Operator response

(master terminal) Reply WAIT or CANCEL, if either is appropriate. If the control region will soon be available, reply WAIT. Reply with an alternate control region ID, if one is active.

The JCL for the dependent job region must specify the same IMSID and SDFSRESL as the IMS control region. If the dependent region JCL IMSID is incorrect, reply with the correct control region ID. If SDFSRESL is incorrect, reply CANCEL, correct the dependent region JCL, and resubmit the job.
