Hi Dave,
Is that read-only link to the 540RES defined as VMACCT’s 1A0?
Is there a DIRECT 1A0 record in the VMACCT CONFIG file on it’s 191 disk that
has the correct volume label?
Does the link cover the full pack including cylinder 0? This is where we see
the most problems in this area. VM:Account requires that link to cover the full
pack including cylinder 0. It requires access to the volume allocation map so
knows where the object directory resides on that volume.
What abend occurs?
That link will show as z/OS formatted so that is normal. VMACCT just requires
the R/O link to the full volume definition, it shouldn’t be accessed.
If none of the above information helps, please call CA support for the VM
products so we can help you out.
Regards,
Yvonne

Subject: VM:Account & MAINT's 123 disk
I am attempting to install CA:Account and I have been unable to get it to start
properly (it abends) because it isn't reading the object directory. I have
defined a read-only link to MAINT's 123 disk (540RES) where the user directory
is located, but it appears as OS formatted and not CMS to the VMACCT machine.
I've tried linking instead to DirMaint's 123 link and got the same result. I'm
not sure I understand why it's appearing that way and how to present it to
VMACCT so it can read the user directory.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
