Abend AZVE after upgrading to a new release of CICS TS
Why do I get abend AZVE after migrating to a new release of CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS)? I did not get the abend AZVE when using the previous release of CICS TS.
CICS returns an abend AZVE for a clash between an already existing termid and a terminal trying to be installed with the same termid.
The default autoinstall exit program, DFHZATDX, does not handle a clash condition as shipped. A small change has to be made to provide an alternate termid. It might be that you had this change at the previous release. Then, when you migrated to the new release, the new version of the module does not have same change.
CICS Support usually recommends that you copy the sample source from SDFHSAMP, then comment out one line as shown below:
L R5,INSTALL_SHIPPED_SELECTED_PTR
USING INSTALL_SHIPPED_SELECTED_PARMS,R5
L R8,INSTALL_SHIPPED_TERMID_PTR
*MVC SELECTED_SHIPPED_TERMID,0(R8)--> COMMENT OUT THIS LINE
MVI SELECTED_SHIPPED_RETURN_CODE,RETURN_OK All went OK
If you have made other changes, you will need to make those changes too. Please compare the terminal autoinstall exit code between the two releases and make sure that the new release incorporates the same changes.
