TXSeries 4.2 installation problem

[H.Swaminathan]

After installing "TXSeries 4.2 for HP-UX 11.00" on HP-UX 11.00
we were trying to configure to an "RPC-only environment by entering
"cicscp" command. This command resulted in the following error messages.

"ERZ057001E/0007: Cannot access message catalog cics.cat for message ERZ096006I"
"ERZ057001E/0008: Cannot access message catalog cics.cat for message ERZ096011I"
"ERZ057001E/0003: Cannot access message catalog cics.cat for message ERZ096002I"

We got error messages similar to ERZ057001E for the following commands also:
1) cicssfscreate
2) cicssfs
3) cicslssrc
4) cicssfsconf
5) cicsdefault

We were unable to Start the Region and Client.

We are using DCE 1.7 instead of the suggested 1.7.1 version for "TXSeries 4.2 for HP-UX 11.00".

Please advise if the difference in DCE version is causing the problem or
something else?

the cicsco and commands 1-5 I suspect are specific to encina/tx series s/w : try putting the error codes into http://www-3.ibm.com/software/support/ search engine I'm getting quite a few hits.

As to DCE 1.7.1 .... not heard of it, as I understand things hpux dce versions are as follows :

1.5 = 10.20
1.6 = 10.30
1.7 = 11.00
1.8 = 11.11

or use /opt/dce/bin/dce_version or perhaps a what on the binaries in /opt/dce/bin .... this yields 1.7-1.7.1 PHSS_21614 .... So perhaps you need to think of patching as opposed to version of DCE .

fyi DCE patches @ 11.00 =

PHSS_27962 PHSS_27963 & PHSS_27964 also latest libpthread,arpa and streams patches are worth considering too.

Lastly if this were a DCE issue I'd look in /var/opt/dce/svc/*.logs and your syslog.log for further clues.

Hi,
can you post your environtment variables?

Once i had a similar problem for another application, and the issue was related to a variable not pointing to the catalog directory.


Can you also tell us where is the files cics.cat ?

Given below are the path where cics.cat is available and the value of different environment variables set in .profile. Please let us know if it is causing the problem.

Path where cics.cat is found:
-----------------------------
(1)
/opt/cics/msg/en_US.iso88591/cics.cat

(2)
/usr/TXSeries/CICS_PTF9/CICS-Msg-en-iso/CICSMSG-en-iso/opt/cics/msg/en_US.iso88
591/cics.cat

(3)
/TXSeries4.2/CICS.depot/CICS-Msg-en-iso/CICSMSG-en-iso/opt/cics/msg/en_US.iso88

Environment variables set in .profile :
---------------------------------------
PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH:/sbin:/home/root:/opt/cics/bin:/opt/encina/bin:/opt/dcelocal/bin:/opt/dcelocal/etc; export PATH
SHLIB_PATH=/opt/cics/lib:/opt/dcelocal/lib:/opt/encina/lib

NLSPATH=/opt/cics/msg/%L/%N:/opt/cics/msg/C/%N:/opt/dcelocal/nls/msg/%L/

[Massimo Bianchi]

They look OK.

I suggest you to open a support call to the software vendor.

echo $LANG yields ?

try exporting LANG=en_US.iso88591 ? as per http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=203&q=ERZ057001E&uid=swg21045106&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8〈=en
