CICS TS 4.1 INITIAL Start fails with DFHDM0105 for DFHTS domain after backout from CICS TS 4.2

Question & Answer


Question

Why would I receive message DFHDM0105 during CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) initialization after backing out from an upgrade to a new release of CICS TS? I had to back-out after upgrading to CICS TS 4.2. I reverted back to CICS TS 4.1 because there was an incompatibility with another product. I restored the CICS TS 4.1 region data sets from a back up I had taken prior to upgrading to CICS TS 4.2. Then I performed a START=INITIAL for CICS TS 4.1 and right after message:

DFHTS0100I Applid Temporary Storage initialization has started.

CICS startup failed with messages:

DFHDM0105 applid Unsuccessful initialization of DFHTS domain. CICS will terminate.

DFHME0116 applid (Module:DFHMEME) CICS symptom string for message DFHDM0105 is PIDS/5655S9700 LVLS/660 MS/DFHDM0105 RIDS/DFHDMDS PTFS/HCI6600 PCSS/DFHTS BPXP018I THREAD 19D6A60000000000, IN PROCESS 66839, ENDED

Answer

To get your CICS regions backup after a failure at startup with message DFHDM0105, I suggest that you delete and redefine the CICS local and global catalogs. After running the jobs DFHCCUTL and DFHRMUTL to initialize the local and global catalog with the SDFHLOAD library from the release of CICS you are running, the next START=INITIAL of the CICS region should be successful.

The IBM Knowledge Center for CICS TS 4.1 under topic The START system initialization parameter recommends reinitializing the local catalog before an initial start.
