How to resolve BMCLGC0097I and BMC35106E messages?
BMCLGC0097I Unable to connect to requested DBC (Group: DCPLEX)
BMC35106E Server connection error. Requested server not active on this system. SSID: DC01, Group: . Start the server and try again.

The LGCUTIL batch jobs issue BMCLGC0097I message when:

(a) the DBC system is not active
(b) the ZDBCssid DD statement is incorrect  or missing.

Similarly, message BMC35106E is issued when accessing DOMPLEX OPTION SETS in Administration menu.

The LGC services connects to the default DBC Group unless a ZDBCssid statement is found. In the following example, DCPLEXP is defined as the default DBC and DCPLEXT is considered the non-default DBC.

BMCLGC0178I DBC GROUP & SSID  DATASTORE (private registry or z/FS path)     XCF GROUP  LAST UPDATED
BMCLGC0179I ----------------  --------------------------------------------  ---------  -------------------
BMCLGC0180I DCPLEXP *         BMC.PROD.DOM.LGCRGRY                          DCPLEXP@   2015-11-09 18.11.17
BMCLGC0180I DCPLEXT           BMC.TEST.DOM.LGCRGRY                          DCPLEXT@   2015-11-09 18.29.45
BMCLGC0182I 2 DBC system(s) matched the search criteria
BMCLGC0183I * Default DBC group name

When using non-default DBC DCPLEXT, the ZDBCssid statement must be coded in the CLIST and all batch jobs that access a DBC other than the default DBC.
