    Posted Mon June 27, 2022 08:45 AM

    I am looking for the help for the following issue when we start CICS region after IBM did mainframe maintenance.

     

    ETPGZTV : H @04 DFHPA1909   ER4CICSC DATA INVALID FOR 'USSHOME'. RESPECIFY KEY
    WORD AND DATA OR BYPASS WITH '.END': '/usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts54    

     

     

     

     

    Thank you very much.

    /usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts54 is the default value for SIT parameter USSHOME and CICS is reporting that it cannot access the directory. Assuming you are not trying to use a different value through SIT overrides that CICS has decided is invalid, my first check would be to check the filesystem is mounted correctly and CICS has read access to it.

    Hi Jianfu, 

    Mount missing? Does usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts54 exits?

    Regards Roland

    Yes. Now, it looks like IBM added CICS_INSTALL_OK file yesterday under this path.

     

    EUID=990009   /VERSYSB/usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts54/     

      Type  Filename                                    

    _ Dir   .                                           

    _ Dir   ..                                          

    _ Dir   awi                                         

    _ File  CICS_INSTALL_OK                             

     

     

    Thank you very much.

    Thank you very much for the help from all of you. The CICS is working right now after we called IBM zTech and IBM added the file /usr/lpp/cicsts/cicsts54/CICS_INSTALL_OK.

    Hi Jianfu,

    This extract is from MVS/Quickref (C) ChicagoSoft (TM):

    ******************** Text Below Copyright (c) 2022, IBM *********************
    DFHPA1909 applid DATA INVALID FOR 'keyword'. RESPECIFY KEYWORD AND DATA
    OR BYPASS WITH '.END': 'data'.

    Explanation
    This message is displayed if the data specified, either for a keyword in the
    SIT or for a SIT override, is invalid, and the PARMERR=INTERACT option is
    specified in the SIT or as an override. The message inserts are as follows:

    o

    keyword is the keyword for which the value is in error.

    o

    data is the invalid data. This value may be truncated if it is too long
    to be displayed.

    Note:

    PARMERR=INTERACT is the default action for invalid keyword data.

    System action
    CICS waits for the corrected keyword and data to be entered as an override on
    the console by the operator, and analyzes this override.

    User response
    Enter the corrected SIT keyword and data on the console. To enter lowercase
    data, start the System Command Extension function by typing a / by itself on
    the SDSF command line, or by adding a trailing + to a / command, then enter
    the override enclosing both the keyword and data in apostrophes, remembering
    that the keyword itself must be in uppercase. The command is still echoed in
    uppercase in the job log, but SDSF processes the value in mixed case.

    To bypass type '.END', or supply a blank line. Alternatively enter 'CANCEL'
    to terminate CICS.
