CIIN File Is Not Invoked During System Startup
2. If the current configuration file has become corrupted, and there is no saved 
configuration file from which you can load the system, use the following procedure 
to load the system and re-create the initial CONFIG file that was delivered to you 
when you first received your system:
a. Log on to the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link. 
b. Using the System Startup dialog box:
•
In the SYSnn field, enter 00 as the number of the SYSnn subvolume 
containing the version of the operating system to be loaded.
•
In the Configuration File box, select Base (CONBASE) as the 
configuration file.
•
The CIIN disabled option must be selected. Click the checkbox.
c. Click Start system.
d. After the system starts and displays a TACL prompt, log on and start SCF with 
a command that invokes the SCF command file SCF0000. For example:
> SCF / IN $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF.SCF0000 / 
SCF executes the SCF0000 file, makes online configuration changes to the 
running system, creates an SCFLOG file of the processed commands and 
returned messages, and records the changes permanently in the CONFIG file. 
SCF adds these configuration changes to the CONFBASE file to create the 
CONFIG file. At this point, the contents of the CONFIG file are the same as 
those of the CONF0000 file shipped with the system.
e. At the startup TACL prompt, issue the following command for each of the 
processors to be reloaded:
> reload (nn), prime
3. If you still cannot load the system, contact your service provider.
CIIN File Is Not Invoked During System Startup
After the first processor is loaded, the initial TACL process invokes the CIIN file 
automatically only if all the following conditions are true:
•
The CONFTEXT configuration file located in the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume has 
an INITIAL_COMMAND_FILE entry for the CIIN file.
•
The CIIN file is available in the specified location.
•
The CIIN option is not disabled in the System Startup dialog box.
If the CIIN file is not invoked, issue the following command at the startup TACL prompt 
for each of the processors to be reloaded:
> reload (nn), prime
