DFS4446E xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyy DEFINED TO RM AS zzzzzzzzzz

Explanation

IMS attempted to register a resource (yyyyyyyy) with the Resource Manager (RM) as resource type xxxxxxxxxx,. However, the resource was already registered as a different resource type (zzzzzzzzzz) within the same name type group.

In RM, a name type is a group of resource types in which a given resource cannot be registered concurrently as more than one resource type.

In IMS, the finddest name type is the resource that is normally the destination of a message. The following resource types are associated with the finddest name type:

CPIC
A CPIC-defined transaction for APPC.
DESCRIPTOR
The APPC descriptor.
LTERM
The VTAM® logical terminal name.
MSNAME
The MSC logical link path.
TRAN
A statically defined transaction.

System action

If this error occurs during IMS initialization, the system might issue abend 3308. Otherwise, the current process is rejected and online processing continues.

Operator response

If the rejected resource is correct, try deleting the existing resource in RM. For example, use the /CLS command to remove LTERM resources. Otherwise, contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

Redefine the rejected resource to ensure that it is defined correctly and consistently in the IMSplex.
