DFHKE0030 0C1 AKEA in DFHAPLI2 with Debug Tool and LE system autoinstall

Question & Answer


Question

Why does my CICS region abend at startup with an 0C1 in DFHAPLI2 when my CICS job has the IBM Debug Tool for z/OS hlq.SEQAMOD in the DFHRPL concatenation? The problem started after I enabled the new LE system autoinstall capability which is provided by CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) V5.1 and V5.2 APAR PI60388 and CICS TS V5.3 APAR PI60389.

These are the messages I receive at startup:

 DFHKE0030 - Abend 0C1/AKEA in Program DFHAPLI2 Entry Point 00000000_2A4076B8.
 DFHSR0601 applid Program interrupt occurred with system task III in control

Answer

The Debug tool PDS was in the DFHRPL concatenation but the Debug tool program definitions had not been installed. The system autoinstall of the LE event handler CEEEV006 and the subsequent successful load of CEEEV006 from the Debug tool PDS cause Debug tool initialization to be started. But a bug in LE code causes initialization to fail, causing CICS initialization to fail with the abend DFHKE0030 0C1 in DFHAPLI2.

To fix this problem, apply the Debug Tool V13.1 PTF for APAR PI59113. After you apply the APAR PI59113, the Debug tool will fail gracefully with the following messages and CICS initialization will continue:
+EQA9986E - CEEEV006 was unable to load program EQA00OSX
+EQA9889I - Debug Tool unable to initialize

If you install the Debug Tool definitions in CICS then the Debug Tool initialization will complete successfully.
