DFHPA1909 DATA INVALID FOR KEYWORD USSHOME after IPL during CICS startup

Question & Answer


Question

Why am I receiving the following DFHPA1909 message during CICS startup after an IPL?

 DFHPA1909   DATA /usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts41 IS INVALID FOR KEYWORD USSHOME=. RESPECIFY KEYWORD AND DATA     

Answer

Ensure you have the correct HFS file mounted before the CICS region is started. When you re-IPL, it might not mount the UNIX directories if you don't have an auto-mount script or utility to mount the directories needed.

From the OMVS shell, you can enter command ls -l /usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts41 to see what is mounted and MOUNT the HFS file if it isn't already mounted.
