COBOL targets failed to compile or link

Problem:

After deploying files from MP5, the COBOL programs must be compiled. However, some files do not compile:

E:tempcompile>set PS_HOME=E:PSOFTFS900
E:tempcompile>set COBROOT=E:cobolBase
E:tempcompile>cd /d E:PSOFTFS900setup
E:PSOFTFS900setup>cblbld E: tempcompile

ASCII Cobol Compilations Proceeding
Logging progress to file E:tempcompileCBLBLD.LOG

Target directory (E:PSOFTFS900CBLBINA) exists and is writable

Symptoms:

The problem is with COBOL compiles, where if the customer doesn’t have all the products licensed when we compile the COBOLs from recent Maintenance Packs we get errors. This is due to the fact that CA is not looking at the licensed products or dbcodes to validate licensed products. Therefore errors are displayed during the compilation as copybooks are not supplied for the non licensed products.

Here’s an example list of the COBOLs that don’t compile:
CEPCSQL2, CPPICSTI, CPPIPRDN, INPADYN3, INPADYN4, INPAPROC, INPIVALD, INPOTEST, INPSDRCT, INPVIADJ, INPVPROC, INPVVALD, INPXPROC, SFPDISUE, SFPEPROC, SFPFPROC, SFPREVAL

Here’s a copy of what’s in the dbcodes.ep:
EP PeopleSoft FIN/SCM Database
EP PeopleSoft FIN/SCM Demo Database
AM PeopleSoft Asset Management
CM PeopleSoft Cash Management
CO PeopleSoft Common Objects
TR = PeopleSoft Deal Management
EO = PeopleSoft Enterprise Components
EPO = PeopleSoft eProcurement
GL = PeopleSoft General Ledger
AP = PeopleSoft Payables
PO = PeopleSoft Purchasing

Cause:
Not Applicable

Solution:

Tools incident 714685000 was created. The incident is considered to be an enhancement for change assistant in a tools versions greater than 8.45.

If the customer does not have licenses for the modules related to the cobol files that are failing, they can ignore the compile errors. If they do not want to ignore the error messages, they can remove the erroring files from the src directory (move them to another directory) and run compile again.

Reference:

E-CA Change assistant not checking the license before compiling the cobols (Doc ID 623178.1)
