DFHSZ4005 E date time applid FEPI cannot be started: FEPI is already active, in state X'ssssssss'.

Explanation

The Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) cannot be started because FEPI is already active in the system.

This message usually means that you attempted to start a new instance of FEPI manually by running the FEPI transaction (CSZI), but the previous instance of FEPI failed in some way that caused an 'active' indication to be left in error.

The possible FEPI states (X'ssssssss') are:

State
Meaning
X'00000002'

FEPI is being initialized

X'00000003'

FEPI is active

X'00000004'

FEPI is terminating as CICS is undergoing a normal shutdown

X'00000005'

FEPI is terminating as CICS is undergoing an immediate shutdown

X'00000006'

FEPI is terminating as CICS is undergoing an abnormal shutdown

System action

The request to start a new instance of FEPI is rejected.

User response

If the state suggests that a previous instance of FEPI failed, you must restart CICS to resolve the problem. You do not need to start the FEPI transaction manually.
