Error description
AXFV abend occurs after migrating from CICS TS 4.1 to 5.1. The problem only happens during PLTPI processing while running under system task CPLT. During PLT 's, a program issues a LINK to another program specifying a SYSID. DFHXFP calls DFHMNAD for INQUIRE_ASSOCIATED_DATA. DFHMNAD checks for a monitoring control block called an ADCB. CPLT is a system task and system tasks don't have an ADCB so DFHMNAD returns to DFHXFP with a NOT_FOUND error. Any non-okay response causes DFHXFP to issue the AXFV abend. .

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A PLT program issues EXEC CICS LINK * * SYSID. This fails with abend code AXFV. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** During second phase PLT, a program runs and issues an EXEC CICS LINK command, specifying a SYSID. The named SYSID is another CICS system connected over MRO. DFHXFP TRANSFORMER_1 runs, and attempts to calculate the length of any application context data. To do this a call to DFHMNAD INQUIRE_ASSOCIATED_DATA is made. This fails with an exception, reason MNAD_NOT_FOUND. The EXCEPTION response causes the CPLT system transaction to fail with abendAXFV. CICS system transactions do not have associated data so the NOT_FOUND response is correct and DFHXFP should not abend in this case. Additional Keywords: DFHSI1580D
Problem conclusion
DFHXFP has been altered to tolerate a NOT_FOUND response from DFHMNAD INQUIRE_ASSOCIATED_DATA.
