Why do I get message DFHWB0725 CWXN CICS Web error linking to the analyzer user replaceable module (URM) NONE?
This is the message I get:
DFHWB0725 CWXN CICS Web attach processing detected an error linking to the analyzer user replaceable module NONE
Answer
Message DFHWB0725 says that there is an error linking to the Analyzer User Replaceable Module specified in the TCPIPSERVICE mentioned in the message.
In earlier CICS releases, an analyzer program was needed to complete web requests. Later, the URIMAP was able to provide all of the information needed. Once the URIMAP took those responsibilities, the TCPIPSERVICE is usually defined with URM=NONE.
When message DFHWB0725 indicates that CICS can not find URM "NONE", it means that CICS was unable to find a URIMAP that matches the incoming request. CICS would then try to call the analyzer program to make a decision of what to do. Because the TCPIPSERVICE definition has URM=NONE coded, CICS tries to call program NONE. That call fails and CICS issues the DFHWB0725 message with program "NONE".
Any problem that stops CICS from finding a valid URIMAP will result in message DFHWB0725 indicating URM "NONE". A couple of reasons may cause this to happen.
Check to make sure your URI map is available to the region. If this used to work, check for any changes that might cause the URI map not to be found. For instance, the PIPELINE definition specified an XML configuration file pointing to a USS path into a CICS system directory that was unmounted and migrated. Without the file system mounted, CICS can not find the URIMAP.
A request arrives for which there is no URIMAP. For instance, the DFHWB0725 dump might be due to receiving an unsolicited FAVICON request from a browser. The request is "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1..Host:...". You should set up a URIMAP to handle the FAVICON request and supply a static response. Review topic Providing a favorites icon in the CICS TS documentation for further assistance with favicon.
