8180E CICS REQUEST request error

Written to:

SYSLOG, JESMSGLG.

Explanation:

The CICS request specified in the message could not be executed. (At present request START)

Parameters:

request =	START trans-id
error =	REJECTED The user is not authorized to start CICS transaction trans-id.
	FAILED The specified request failed for an unspecified reason.
	FAILED, TRANSACTION ERROR Unknown CICS transaction.

System Action:

CICS request "START" usually starts the receive transaction (for example B11R) that makes the CICS interface (CAF) available for use. Therefore the CAF ACB is CLOSEd, making the CICS online interface connectible again. At all events, the user transaction is terminated and a logon is canceled. A second message indicates the severity of the error (Error, Warning):

• "CAF8180E CICS REQUEST START B11R FAILED, TRANSACTION ERROR" is followed by message "CAF8119E RECEIVE INTERFACE NOT OPERATIONAL". (Error)
• "CAF8180E CICS REQUEST START B11R REJECTED" is followed by message "CAF8120W START RECEIVE TRANSACTION REJECTED". (Warning). If the next logon request is made by a user who is authorized to start the receive transaction, the CICS online interface can be activated in the usual way.

Operator Response:

The response depends on the type of error and the type of message that follows it.

• If CAF8180E is followed by a second error message (CAF8119E), it will not be possible to use the CICS interface until the error is corrected (adjustment of the CICS definitions).
• If CAF8180E is only followed by a warning (CAF8120W), it simply means that the user is not authorized to start the transaction. Check and adjust the permissions of the current user to enable access to the specified CICS transaction. Alternatively, CAF can be activated by a user who is authorized to start the receive transaction, giving all other users access to VDF.
