DSNA305I   THE CICS EXCI func REQUEST FAILED. CICS RESPONSE CODE = X'hhhh' CICS REASON CODE = X'hhhhhhhh'

Explanation

DSNACICS uses the CICS® EXCI Call interface to request the execution of a CICS server program. CICS EXCI interface call func resulted in an unexpected CICS response code and reason code. Possible values of func are:
Initialize_User
Initializes the EXCI user environment.
Allocate_Pipe
Allocates a session to a CICS region.
Open_Pipe
Connects an allocated pipe to a receive session of the CICS region.
DPL_Request
Issues a request to execute the CICS server program.
Close_Pipe
Disconnects an open pipe from a CICS region.
Deallocate_Pipe
Deallocates a pipe from a CICS region.
The failure can occur because the EXCI interface is not properly enabled for the CICS subsystem. For explanations of the CICS response code and reason code, see CICS Transaction Server for z/OS External Interfaces Guide.

System action

The stored procedure DSNACICS terminates without calling the CICS transaction.

System programmer response

Ensure that the EXCI interface is enabled to the CICS region that the stored procedure calls. If you suspect an error in the DB2® stored procedure, you might need to report the problem. For information about identifying and reporting the problem, see Collecting diagnostic data.

Add a DSNDUMP DD statement to the JCL startup procedure for the stored procedure address space in which DSNACICS runs. Then rerun the application that calls DSNACICS. This causes DB2 to generate an SVC dump whenever it issues an error message for DSNACICS.

If you suspect an error in the DB2 stored procedure, you might need to report the problem. For information about identifying and reporting the problem, see Collecting diagnostic data.Collect the following diagnostic items:
  • Console output from the system on which the job was run, and a listing of the SYSLOG data set for the period of time that spans the failure.
  • Dynamic dump, taken to SYS1.DUMPxx data set, by DB2 (04E and 04F abends).
  • CICS trace listing.

Programmer response
