Error description

  • Customer installed new refresh and encounters the following
    error message:
    EYUXD0027E MAL XMSM can not be transformed.
    Metadata not available.
    This happens in the following scenarion:
    - Updating CMAS MP
    - Updating local CMAS
    - Restarting LMAS the first time.
    The LMAS was not updated.
    Message appears if the first LMAS disconnects
    If he starts the LMAS on the same PTF level the second
    time, no error message appears.
    CMAS LOG:

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a CMAS is connected to a MAS that  *
    *                      is at a lower maintenance level,        *
    *                      message EYUXD0027E may be issued by the *

    *                                                              *
    *                      Note that if a message is issued, it    *
    *                      will most likely be for XMSM and will   *
    *                      most likely occur at MAS initialization *
    *                      or termination.                         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
    *                 APAR, all CMASes must be restarted.  Note    *
    *                 that the restarts do not need to occur at    *
    *                 the same time.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    When a message argument list (MAL) is passed between a CMAS and
    a MAS, if the MAS is at a lower maintenence level, the CMAS must
    determine if fields within the MAL must be transformed to allow
    for the different maintenance levels.  To do this, method
    EYU0MOMX (MOMX) calls method EYU0XLML (XLML).  XLML then scans
    the metadata for the MAL to see if the TRANSFORM tag was
    specified.  If not, XLML returns that indication to MOMX, which
    notes that the metatdata is not available, issues message
    EYUXD0027E, and then continues processing the MAL without
    performing any transformation.  Depending upon whether there is
    data that needs to be transformed, this may result in other
    errors.  For subsequent shipments of the MAL, MOMX recognizes
    that the metadata is not available and will continue without
    performing transformation, without issuing the EYUXD0027E
    message.
    
    When a message is issued in a MAS, method EYU0XMSM (XMSM) or
    EYU0XMSX (XMSX) is called.  The message is issued locally and
    then it is provided to the CMAS for inclusion in the CMAS's
    EYULOG.  Normally, the message is provided to the CMAS by
    placing it in a data area and then posting the XMLT task in the
    CMAS to take the request from the data area and process it.
    However, if the XMLT task fails, or is not available for use by
    the MAS (which is possible during MAS initialization or
    termination), then the MAS will ship the XMSM or XMSX MAL to the
    CMAS for processing.  Since the metadata for the XMSM and XMSX
    MALs do not specify the TRANSFORM tag, the first time either is
    shipped to the CMAS, the CMAS will issue the EYUXD0027E message.
    As there is nothing within the XMSM and XMSX MALs that needs to
    be transformed, no additional error except the message will
    occur.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The metadata for the XMSM and XMSX MALs has been updated to
    include the TRANSFORM tag, indicating that no transformation is
    required for either MAL.
