DFS2299A OPEN MNPS ACB WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL REG15=xx ACBERFLG=yyy, REPLY RETRY OR CANCEL

Explanation

After three attempts and still failing to open the MNPS ACB during an MNPS XRF takeover, the alternate IMS system will issue the WTOR and await a reply from the operator. xx is the OPEN return code in register 15, and yyy is the ACB error field returned by VTAM®. These values are displayed as a decimal number. With a reply of RETRY, the alternate IMS will attempt another three times, if necessary, to open the ACB. With a reply of CANCEL, the alternate system will stop attempting to open the ACB and resume the takeover process. Any reply other than RETRY or CANCEL is invalid, and the WTOR will be re-issued.
