Re: IOCP version problem on a 2086 (was Genning a 3745)
Bruce, OK, let's start with the most important question first: Do you have PTF UA90076 (IOCP 1.2 support, APAR OA06464) installed? If not, two things: 1. Get and install it, and try again. 2. Get any other service you are missing from the PSP bucket, upgrade name 2086DEVICE, subset 2086/ZOS, and install that, too. If so: Do you have STEPLIBs or other DD statements (or equivalent allocations in CLISTs or REXX execs) that are pointing your TSO/E session to some or all of the libraries for the old level of HCD? Bruce McKnight wrote: John, Thanks for the reply. Those are all good points. Rather than address them individually, I'll try the Cliff Notes approach. This IO gen has been pushed to the SE with various flavors since March, 2005. We were doing some R&D with various configurations, mostly revolving around DASD optimization. The last successful IOCP gen was July 7, 2005. At the time, the box was running OS/390 2.10. I did all the standard stuff via HCD -- make a copy of the current production SYS1.IODF01 to SYS1.IODF02.WORK make the changes use HCD 2.1 to create a production SYS1.IODF02 from SYS1.IODF02.WORK use HCD 2.2 to build a new IOCDS from SYS1.IODF02 (We create a new work file with an incremented IODF suffix instead of rewriting the same IODF in case we have a issue that gets past validation.) The last step builds the JCL and submits the job that produced the output I posted. The only thing that has changed since last July is the OS upgrade. We also had a significant microcode upgrade since then but it was only on the DR box. I get the same job failure symptoms when I try to do this with the production box but the prod box has not had the microcode upgrades yet. This leave the OS upgrade as the most likely suspect. I read the latest version of the "IOCP User's Guide for ICP IOCP" over the weekend but it didn't provide any new insights.

See below. Bruce McKnight wrote: New info: I must have missed the old info, sorry. So what follows might not be terribly helpful. I finally found a book with the ICP messages. The ICP400I indicates either that the CPC does not support ICP IOCP or the IOCP level is not correct for the CPC. It then referred me to the Summary of Changes. The job output indicates that I am running Version 1 Release 1.0 and gives me a return code of 09, which again indicates the IOCP is the wrong version for the CPC. There are a couple of possibilities. What program name are you using for IOCP? (As a side note, why aren't you using HCD? Or are you, but getting these messages when you try to activate the changes using HCD?) I'm in WAY over my head now. The only things that have occurred since last July are 1. The os was converted from OS/390 2.10 to z/OS 1.4 Is this the *first* I/O configuration change since then? You DID get z/OS R4 with the z990 Compatibility Support or the z990 Exploitation Support feature, right? Also, the PSP bucket calls for OA06464 if you're exploiting certain features. Questions: 1. Could the microcode maintenance have done some upgrade to the CPC that renders the IOCP read/write invalid? 2. I thought the IOCP would be part of the z/OS BCP. If not, how do I get the version I need? It's part of z/OS, in a separate FMID (HIO1104, if memory serves; definitely HIOsomething). But it's updated (or replaced) via PTF from time to time. 3. Could I offload the IOCDS to a diskette and load it via the SE like we did when we first installed the box? Yes. But it's much less convenient than getting the batch program (or HCD!) to work in the first place. HELP! Much thanks in advance.
