    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    During CICS initialization, DFHDHDM is called to initialize
    document handler domain. DFHDHDM detects a critical failure and
    returns an error response to domain manager. This causes CICS
    startup to fail with message DFHDM0105 - Unsuccessful
    initialization of DFHDH domain.
    DFHDHDM should produce appropriate diagnostics (such as a
    system dump) before returning an error to domain manager.
    However, there are several circumstances in which DFHDHDM fails
    to produce any diagnostics.
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHDHDM has been changed to detect if an error response is to be
    returned to domain manager's INITIALISE_DOMAIN function call.
    If an error is to be returned and DFHDHDM hasn't already taken
    a dump, a new exception trace will be issued followed by
    message DFHDH0002 and a DH0002 system dump.
    .
    The CICS TS for z/OS Version 4.1 Trace Entries ( SC34701301 )
    will be updated. In Chapter 8 ( Document handler trace points )
    the following new entry will be added :-
    
    Point ID  Module   Lvl   Type           Data
    DH 0109   DFHDHDM  Exc   Severe error   1 DFHDMDM parameter list
