DFS1769W CATALOG PCBS FAILED TO ATTACH TO PSB psbname ERROR=xx

Explanation

The application program using PSB psbname made its first DL/I call to the catalog database. The PSB did not have a DBPCB referencing the catalog database, so IMS attempted to dynamically attach the catalog PCBs. The attempt failed for one of the following reasons:

01
IRLM is defined but not active.
02
IRLM is defined but not reachable.
03
There is a PSB or PSBW pool space shortage.
04
The catalog PSB or DBD resources are being committed by an online change operation.
05
The catalog PSB is unscheduled because the catalog PSB is marked bad or is not available, or the catalog database is stopped.
06
The catalog database is unavailable because a /DBD or /DBR command is in progress for the catalog database.

System action

Status code NA is returned to the application program.

System programmer response

For error codes 01 and 02, check the availability of IRLM in your IMS environment. For error code 03, increase the PSB or PSBW storage pool space. For error code 04, wait until the online change operation is complete and then issue the DL/I call again. For error code 05, ensure that the catalog PSB successfully completed ACBGEN and that the catalog database is started. For error code 06, wait until the DBD or DBR command completes processing and ensure the catalog database is available.
