The status information for a platform shows whether the CICS® bundles for the platform are
present and enabled in the CICS regions
associated with the region type of the platform, the status of the
management parts, and the status of the regions or region types. If
a platform is not enabled, you can take appropriate action.
About this task
The ENABLESTATUS setting of a platform is derived from the
status of the management parts. A management part is a MGMTPART record
that is created automatically during the platform installation process.
Management parts record the relationship between the platform and
each installed CICS bundle,
and the region type where each CICS bundle
is installed in the platform. The STATUS setting is derived from the
status of the regions or region types.
Procedure
- In the CICS Explorer® CICS Cloud perspective, use the Cloud Explorer view
to display the status of a platform. The view shows a hierarchy
of platforms, applications, region types, and regions associated with
the region types and their overall status. The platform
is enabled if the CICS bundles
referenced by the management parts for the platform are installed
in the CICS regions, and there
is at least one active region in every region type.
- Right-click the platform to view the management parts and
check on the status of each individual CICS bundle. The status for the management part shows whether the CICS bundle is in an enabled or
disabled state in the CICS regions,
or if they are not installed.

What to do next
- If the status of a platform is DISABLED or SOMEDISABLED, and this
is not appropriate, you can try to enable the platform. To enable
a whole platform, in the Cloud Explorer view, right-click the platform
and click Enable. CICSPlex® SM attempts to enable all the CICS bundles for the platform in
all the CICS regions. Check
the new status to see whether the platform is now enabled. If the
platform is not enabled, investigate the individual CICS bundles that are named in each management
part.
- If the status of a management part is DISABLED or SOMEDISABLED,
and this is not appropriate, you can try to enable the individual CICS bundles in each CICS region where they are installed. To enable
a CICS bundle, click to open the Bundles view. Select the record for the
bundle in the CICS region where
you want to enable it, right-click, and click Enable.
If the bundle remains disabled, check its definition to see if it
has a dependency on an import for a resource that is not present in
the CICS region.
- If the status of a platform is FAILED, check the CICSPlex SM output log for the Web User
Interface server (the EYULOG) for details of the problem that occurred
while the platform was being installed or discarded. The CICSPlex SM data repository for the CMAS
might be full, in which case you need to increase its size. To expand
the data repository, use the REPRO function of the IDCAMS utility.
An example of the JCL to do this is in the EYUJXDRP member of the
CICSTS51.CPSM.SEYUSAMP library. In that JCL, on the RECORDS(xx,yy)
statement, specify a primary (xx) and a secondary (yy) value that
are appropriate for your environment. The initial values are 500 and
3000.
- If the status of a platform is INCOMPLETE or EMPTY, investigate
the individual CICS bundles
that are named in each management part:
- If the status of a management part is INVALIDSCOPE, check the
definition for the CICS bundle
to see whether the target CICS system
group was specified correctly.
- If the status of a management part is EMPTY, check whether the CICS regions where the CICS bundle should have been installed
are active and connected to the CMAS. If the CICS regions are available, check the definition
for the CICS bundle for any
errors.
