DFS3403W AUTOMATIC IMPORT IS DISABLED, RC=rc

Explanation

Automatic import processing is disabled. rc indicates the reason automatic import is disabled. Possible reasons are as follows:
Codes
Explanation
4
You had specified AUTOIMPORT=NO.
8
You specified AUTOIMPORT=AUTO, but you did not have any resource definition data sets (RDDS) defined and no MODBLKS data set exists. If IMS is defined with the IMSRSC repository, the repository is empty.
12
Two or more RDDSs are defined, but the RDDSs are empty and no MODBLKS data set exists.
16
RDDS errors were encountered during RDDS initialization preventing automatic import from occurring from an RDDS. Message DFS3368 identifies the RDDSs and their associated errors.

If you specify AUTOIMPORT=RDDS or AUTOIMPORT=AUTO in the Dynamic_Resources section of the DFSDFxxx IMS.PROCLIB member and IMS is started cold (/NRE CHKPT 0 or /ERE COLDSYS), the value specified for the RDDSERR= parameter in the Dynamic_Resources section of the DFSDFxxx IMS.PROCLIB member determines the action that IMS takes.

When you specify RDDSERR=NOIMPORT, IMS is restarted with a cold start without importing any stored resources.

When you use RDDSERR=ABORT, IMS terminates abnormally with an IMS abend 3368 with an RC=4.

System action

IMS continues processing.

Programmer response

If you do not want automatic import processing, no action is necessary.

If you want automatic import processing, use the return code rc to identify the reason automatic import was disabled. If necessary, correct the specification error in the DFSDFxxx IMS.PROCLIB member. If the resource definition data sets (RDDS) are expected to contain exported data, make sure that automatic export is enabled. If you intended to import definitions from a MODBLKS data set, make sure that the MODBLKS DD statement exists in your IMS control region JCL.
