Please pardon me for jumping in, but FWIW: In our environment (zOS V2.2) we start HWIBCPII before JES2 after an IPL. One of the first messages that BCPII issued is:
HWI015I BCPII IS WAITING FOR THE PRIMARY SUBSYSTEM TO BECOME ACTIVE TO ALLOW THE BCPII COMMUNICATION RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT TO BE ESTABLISHED. Explanation BCPii is waiting for the BCPii communication recovery environment to be established to handle unexpected errors during communication processing using the z/OS Language Environment. While BCPii is waiting for the primary subsystem to become active, if a severe error occurs while processing a BCPii communications request and a CEEDUMP is requested, one will not be taken. The CEEDUMP processing of BCPii requires the primary subsystem to be active to write the dump to SYSOUT.

LE should never know or care about that! If LE tries to allocate/open CEEDUMP and that operation fails (in *any* environment, not just SUB=MSTR), then it should fall back to another way of taking the dump -- for example, IEATDUMP. -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
