15a00004/15a00105 Invalid Parameter

Explanation

An unrecognized parameter, such as a local or partner LU name, has been used on an intersystem request. If the intersystem request was received from a remote system, the error might be that the remote system is not correctly defined in the Communications Definitions (CD). If the intersystem request is issued by a local transaction, the error might be that the application has requested invalid options. Possible reasons for this are:
  • The local LU name that is used on the request is not correctly defined to your SNA product.
  • The local LU name is being used by more than one PPC Gateway server or CICS® region.
  • The remote system names that are configured in the RemoteLUName and SNAConnectName attributes of the CD entry are incorrect or are not configured in your SNA product.
  • The application has requested an invalid option.

If the CD entry for the remote system is correct and a valid intersystem request is being issued, this error could be caused by incompatible versions of the software that your region is using.

System action

The parameter is ignored and the intersystem request might abnormally terminate.

User response

Examine the console.nnnnnn file and the CSMT log for additional messages that might describe the cause of this error. If additional messages are produced, follow the instructions for these messages. Also look for messages from your SNA product or PPC Gateway server if you are using one. If no additional messages are produced, check whether the levels of software that are used by your region are compatible. In addition, if you are using a SNA product, a PPC Gateway server, or both, ensure that they are also compatible with your CICS region.
