Problem:
Setting the configuration variable "strict_file_locking" incorrectly, within the COBCONFIG.CFG file, is causing CICS Region to fail during start-up.
The variable defaults to "strict_file_locking=false" in Enterprise Developer 2.2.
The correct syntax for the variable setting in the COBCONFIG.CFG file is :
set strict_file_locking=true or set strict_file_locking=false
If the entry made is
set strict_file_locking=on
and the CICS region is started, the region will fail with the following message -
CASCD0141S Server manager CERCRR01 failed in initialization, exited with value 0000000255
Resolution :
The problem is caused by incorrectly entering the required configuration variable setting in the COBCONFIG.CFG file.
The issue is that Enterprise Server does not report the RTS error correctly and the message
it produces is not clear.
The solution is to enter the environment variables correctly as :
set strict_file_locking=true or set strict_file_locking=false
In addition, a software fix has been provided from Enterprise Developer 2.3 Update 1.
