DFS3652X DYNAMIC TERMINAL DESCRIPTORS NOT AVAILABLE

Explanation

IMS initialization or the MFS Device Characteristics Table utility was unable to locate the ETO descriptors from the library with the ddname PROCLIB. IMS initialization requires at least one valid logon descriptor and one valid user descriptor when ETO=YES is requested. The MFS Device Characteristics Table utility requires at least one device descriptor.

System action

IMS initialization abnormally terminates with abend 0015. The MFS Device Characteristics Table utility ends with a return code of 12.

Operator response

Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

Determine whether the descriptor members that should contain ETO descriptors exist in the data set with the ddname PROCLIB. The member names are DFSDSCMa and DFSDSCTb, where a is the IMS nucleus suffix and b is from the DSCT parameter, during IMS initialization. If running the MFS Device Characteristics Table utility, a and b are from the DSCMSUF and DSCTSUF parameters.

If the members do not exist, create them. If they do exist, determine why IMS was not able to locate the members in the data set with the ddname PROCLIB, or why the required descriptors do not exist in the members.
