Problem:

I have prepared a dump routine to handle the developers information when dump programs are called in MFE. Using MFENTMAP.DAT I want to direct the calls to my own dump program.  For example:

[ENTRY-POINT] ADRABND
[PROGRAM NAME] *
[SUBPROGRAM NAME] tpDump00

ADRABND is part of the large synchronisation process and is present on my PROD workgroup loadlib.

Is there a way to avoid the COBRT198 LOAD error?

Resolution:

To avoid 198 LOAD error, you need to use the following run-time Configuration Tunable:

entry_point_mapper_alias_exists_error set to FALSE

When it is set to TRUE then run-time system error COBRT198 will be displayed when a program with the same name as the alias is found on disk.
When it is set to FALSE then the alias will be used and the program won't be loaded.

This run-time tunnable should be used together with entry_point_mapper_search_order which specifies whether to use entry point mapping to look for programs before or after searching for the programs on disk.
