File Manager messages
The following messages may be issued when the batch job is first invoked from CICS and validates that the CICS region that submitted the job is running with the same level of File Manager.
FMNBB252
No storage to obtain CICS buffer to query CICS levels
There is insufficient memory to perform the level check.
Increase the available region size to the submitted batch job.
FMNBB253
CICS level inquiry failed to run successfully rc = rc
Internal error occurred processing the inquire level command.
Contact IBM® Support.
FMNBB254
You are running a higher level of File Manager in the batch job than in at least one of the connected CICS regions. This could lead to failures due to services being unavailable. Use the command VERCICS to verify the current levels of File Manager for CICS that are running and ensure all regions with a lower level are upgraded appropriately.
This message indicates a mismatch in buffer layout between the batch job and FM/CICS most likely due to maintenance not being applied to all instances of FM/CICS. This mismatch can lead to severe errors if not resolved.
Use the VERCICS command to display the level of FM/CICS on all connected CICS regions. Correct all instances that are running at a lower level from the running File Manager batch job. A difference in level may be due to maintenance not being applied to the FM/CICS instance or the FM/CICS programs may not have been refreshed in the CICS region after maintenance was applied.
FMNBB255
CICS level inquiry failed with cond=CICS condition code
The load for program FMN3LVL has failed in the connected CICS region with the CICS condition code condition code.
This normally indicates an installation problem as FMN3LVL is not accessible in the connected CICS region. Check the DFHRPL and ensure FMN3LVL is available in File Manager libraries.
FMNBB256
Warning - PTF mismatch
You are running different maintenance levels of File Manager in the batch job and FM/CICS in one or more of the connected CICS regions. This indicates that FM/CICS in one or more region may be downlevel and therefore not contain all available services or resolutions for problems provided by more recent levels of maintenance.
Use the VERCICS command to display the PTF level of FM/CICS on all the connected CICS regions. Correct all instances that are running at a different PTF level from the running File Manager batch job. A difference in PTF level may be due to maintenance not being applied to the FM/CICS instance or the FM/CICS programs may not have been refreshed in the CICS region after maintenance was applied.
FMNBB257
CICS level inquiry was unable to load FMN3LVL
The batch job was unable to load the module FMN3LVL.
Ensure FMN3LVL is available to be loaded by the batch job.
