CPA0311E
Field ID xxxxxxxxxxxx is not defined to Dictionary – field ignored

Explanation

The dictionary processor was unable to locate a CMF field required for the requested report. For CICS defined fields this may be due to the required field having been excluded from the performance class record by a user defined Monitoring Control Table (MCT). For user-defined fields this may be due to CICS PA not having processed the required dictionary before encountering the first data record.

System action

The requested field and all subsequent fields on the report are ignored.

User response

Analyze the CMF data using DFH$MOLS for assistance in checking that the field ID required for the report is actually collected in the CMF record. If a user-defined Monitoring Control Table (MCT) is being used, then check that the requested field id has not been excluded from the performance record. The CICS journal utility program DFHJUP can be also used to further analyze the content of the CMF record the structure and format of which can be found in the CICS Customization Guide. If the necessary field ids are present in both the dictionary record and the performance class records, contact your IBM representative for help.
