11.2. CICS messages

CICS messages consist of the prefix DFH followed by a two-letter component identifier (cc), and a four-digit message number (nnnn). The component identifier shows the domain or the component which issues the message. Some examples of the component identifier are:

  • AP - The application domain

  • DS - The dispatcher domain

  • SM - The storage manager domain

  • XM - The transaction manager

  • XS - The CICS security component

Thus, the CICS message DFHAP0002 is issued from the application domain, identified by the two-character identifier AP.
