GIM69168E HFSCOPY processing failed when applying CICS maintenance

Question & Answer


Question

Why am I receiving many GIM23911E messages when applying maintenance to our CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) V4.2 system using SMP/E? The APPLY CHECK got a return code of 0.

I received the following errors from the APPLY:

     UK97499  JCI670D  GIM69168E      5   HFSCOPY PROCESSING FAILED FOR HFS  DFJ@H223  CODE WAS 12.   THE  SEQUENCE NUMBER WAS 000033   
 ...
     IEW2456E 9207 SYMBOL DFHTCBR UNRESOLVED.  MEMBER COULD NOT BE INCLUDED.
     IEW2470E 9511 ORDERED SECTION IPRXMXE NOT FOUND IN MODULE.

It appears as though one of the major causer's is the inability to process an HFSCOPY. I checked the DDDEF for SDHH001 and it appears to be fine and is mounted to the correct path.

I also see the following message in my APPLY job:

 BPXF151I BPXCOPY WAS INVOKED FOR HEAD ID 000033.                      
 BPXF150I MVS DATA SET WITH DDNAME SYSUT1 SUCCESSFULLY COPIED INTO     
          BINARY HFS FILE /usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts4m/IBM/DFJ@H223.       
 BPXF156E RETURN CODE 0000008B, REASON CODE EF07603D.  PATHMODE COULD  
          NOT BE SET FOR FILE /usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts4m/IBM/DFJ@H223.                             

Answer

BPXF156E RETURN CODE 0000008B REASON CODE EF07603D can be broken down as follows:

You either need to be UID 0 (supervisor) to run an SMP/E APPLY that installs into a file system (as in this case) or you need to have READ access to the profile BPX.SUPERUSER in the FACILITY class. See Superusers in z/OS UNIX for more information.
