DFS4864W FRONT END SWITCH UNAVAILABLE FOR NODE xxxxxxxx
Explanation
The physical terminal is defined with OPTION=FES on the TERMINAL macro, or
on the Extended Terminal Option (ETO) node descriptor. However, the Front-End-Switch exit routine,
DFSFEBJ0, was not loaded successfully by the IMS system. The load failure is due to one of the
following causes:
- DFSFEBJ0 is not available
- FESEXIT=Y is not specified in the IMS startup parameters.
In the message text:
- xxxxxxxx
- Indicates the physical terminal node name.
System action
Terminals that are defined to use the Front-End-Switch exit routine (OPTIONS=FES specified on the TERMINAL macro or on the ETO node descriptor) do not have access to the DFSFEBJ0 routine. The terminal is treated as if OPTIONS=NOFES is specified. If FESEXIT=Y is specified in the IMS startup parameters, then message DFS1934E is issued to indicate that DFSFEBJ0 is not loaded correctly.
IMS continues initialization or is restarted.
Output destination
The System Console
System programmer response
Perform the following steps:
- Make sure that FESEXIT=Y is specified in the IMS startup parameters.
- Check message DFS1934E that was issued. This message indicates that DFSFEBJ0 cannot be loaded correctly.
- Make sure that DFSFEBJ0 exists in one of the IMS.SDFSRESL concatenated data sets.
- Identify the cause to the load failure and correct the failure.
- Warm or cold start the IMS system again for the exit to be loaded.
