VAGen -7 ECI_ERR_Transaction_Abend Abend code=null

  • 1.  VAGen -7 ECI_ERR_Transaction_Abend Abend code=null

    Posted Tue November 17, 2015 01:11 PM

     

    Hello,

     

    One VAGen customer just upgraded to z/OS  2.1, CICS TS 5.2, and CTG V8.1(new) .

     

    The client/server (  Java GUI --UClient tcpip -->  CICS VAGen COBOL ) application developed by VAGen is working

    in new environment in terms of CICS UClient.  

    When testing with CTG (  tcpip to CICS ) ,   the system returns -7 ECI_ERR_Transaction_Abendmade   abend code  is null. 

    Customer found nothing about abend code null.   

    Customer did add ctglocation and ctgport parameters to linkage and  GUI generation to pick up the value in VAGen V4.5 FP5  

    Last year we tested fine for this scenario with CICS TS 3.2.   During the upgrade project , the CICS v3.2 has been migrated to 

    CICS TS 5.2, which means all the CICS V3.2 system resource definitions are migrarted .

     

    Any comments/experience sharing?

    L.H,

    First of all, as you can imagine, there has not been any testing of VAGen with the latest levels of CTG or CICS.

    The approach I would take would be:

    a.) See if there are any messages on the host side (in CICS Message logs).

    b.) Do a CETR on CSMI, CPMI, or the user transaction id for the mirror program and see if the remote transaction even tries to start.

    c.) Initiate a CTG trace and see if that provides any info as to what the problem is.

    d.) I think this uses the ctgclient.jar, so see if any particular level of the jar file makes a difference.... for example:  Can you use the older ctgclient.jar?

     

    It could be a setup item or it could be something has changed and the old VAGen is not compatible with it.   Finding out as much information as possible is what I would attempt.

    Hi Mark

    As you mentioned , we did many trials to find out only the ctgclient.jar V6 can be used to be compatible with CTG 8.1

    and VAGen Java JVM. 

     

    Today customer found out the error cause.   Because the VAGen system we are testing have been sunset before the

    z/OS  2.1 production cut over,   in the last minute customer decided to move the VAGen load module  PDS

    out of  CICS V5.2 startup JCL.  It is working after place back the PDS.  

    To conduct the CTG  verification is for SW tool acceptance test  ( before 11/20) of new purchased product in z/OS 2.1 project.

    All existing VAGen applications will be replaced by RBD by  2016/Q1.    

    Thanks for your kind support.
