APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are running CICS Transaction server 6.1 and apply
  maintenance to CICS including PTF UI97096 for APAR
  PH60354.  When you recycle the region, you receive the
  following errors:
  
  DFHXM0002 A severe error (code X'0307') has occurred in
          module DFHXMRP.
  The XM0002 occurs multiple times.
  
  
  DFHDM0105 Unsuccessful initialization of DFHXM domain.
          CICS will terminate.
  
  The 0307 error code is issued when trying to add a
  transaction recovered from the catalog, and this fails.
  It fails trying to restore a protected transaction-
  XMXD_TRANDEF_PROTECTED.
  The XM0002 is occurring due to trying to replace transaction
  CATR and it is marked not replaceable.
  That APAR moved the hard-coded definition of "category 3"
  transactions to be earlier in CICS startup, before
  transaction definitions are restored from the catalog.
