15a00002/15a00102 Allocate Failure

Explanation

CICS® was unable to initiate an intersystem request with the remote system because either
  • The remote system or intervening network is unavailable
  • The communications configuration in the Communications Definitions (CD) entry for the connection is incorrect
  • If the remote system is connected by SNA, the SNA configuration might be incorrect

System action

The intersystem request fails. Further messages that give more detail might follow.

User response

Check the Communications Definitions (CD) entry for the connection on the local and the equivalent definitions on the remote system. Check whether the remote system and the network path to the remote system are available and correctly configured.

If CICS Bind time security is being used, ensure that no mismatch exists in the bind passwords that are used by each system. Refer to Authenticating systems across SNA connections for further information about Bind time security.
