DFHTD1210 applid DCT index in error, xxxx failed

Explanation

While carrying out operation xxxx (INSTALL) CICS found an error in the destination control table (DCT) index. This message is issued on warm or emergency restarts when transient data is installing entries from the global catalog. The most likely reasons for this error are:

  1. Storage violation.

    An application program has overwritten the index,

    or

  2. CICS logic error

    The CICS Directory Domain created the index incorrectly. or

  3. Corrupt global catalog entries

    The global catalog has been corrupted.

System action

CICS writes a dump. The transaction abnormally terminates with abend code ATDY and message DFHSI1522 is issued.

Message DFHME0116, which contains the symptom string for this problem, is produced.

User response

Respond GO or CANCEL to message DFHSI1522.

Look at the contents of the global catalog, to determine if the catalog entry has been corrupted for the DCTE that is failing to install.

Assuming that the error is a storage violation, and that you have activated the trace facility, find in the trace the unsuccessful attempt to access the DCT by DFHTDP. Then find the last preceding successful access. You have now narrowed the search to programs that were running between these two accesses. Examine these programs for an error that could cause a storage violation.

If you have not activated trace, but you can recreate the error, activate trace, recreate the error, and proceed as in the previous paragraph.

Note:

Because of the circumstances under which this message is issued, it can only be issued to the console. It should not be rerouted to a transient data queue.
