Sense code 0817

Link or link resource inactive: A request requires the use of a link or link resource that is not active.

Bytes 2 and 3 following the sense code contain sense-code-specific information.
0000
No specific code applies.
0001
Link inactive.

VTAM® hint: A possible cause of this error is that auto activation is not supported for the PU.

0002
Link station inactive.
0003
Switched link connection inactive.
0004
The TG number of the desired link has been renegotiated to a new value; the route cannot be activated.
0005
Service link inactive.
0006
The link between an SNA node and an attached processor is inactive; for example, the connection between the main processor and its attached service processor goes down.
0007
The requested test was not initiated because the link to be tested was put into an inactive state.
0008
The requested test was interrupted because the link to be tested was put into an inactive state.
0009
Transport configuration table entry not active.
VTAM hint: An APPN host-to-host channel PU is being activated and one of following situations has occurred:
  • The resource definition table entry (RDTE) for the transport resource list element (TRLE) whose name is specified in the PU definition cannot be found in the transport resource list (TRL).
  • The RDTE for that name is not a transport resource list element.

VTAM fails the activation of the PU and the PU is left in an inactive state.

Perform the following steps:
  1. Issue a D NET,ID=puname command to determine which TRLE name is specified on the PU definition statement.
  2. Issue a D NET,TRL command to get a list of the TRLEs that are defined in the TRL.

If the name specified on the PU definition cannot be found in the list obtained using the D NET,TRL command, verify that the TRLE name is spelled correctly in the PU definition, that the TRLE name exists and is spelled correctly in the TRL definition, and that no other resource has the same name as the TRLE name.
