Sense code 0841

Duplicate network address: In an LU-LU session initiation request, one of the specified LUs has a duplicate network address already in use. This error can be caused by a mismatch between the CDRM and NCP gateway NAU subarea/element definitions.

Bytes 2 and 3 following the sense code contain sense-code-specific information.
0000
The SSCP of the DLU determines that the OLU network address specified in the CDINIT request is a duplicate of an LU network address assigned to a different LU name.

VTAM® Information: When VTAM receives this sense code for a session initiation, it continues searching through the adjacent SSCP table until the destination LU is found or routing is exhausted.

0001
A duplicate SLU address is found during session initiation.
0002
A duplicate PLU address is found during session initiation.
0003
An SSCP finds a duplicate network address for the DLU on the OLU side of the gateway.
0004
An SSCP finds a duplicate network address for the DLU on the DLU side of the gateway.
0005
An SSCP finds a duplicate network address for the OLU on the OLU side of the gateway.
0006
An SSCP finds a duplicate network address for the OLU on the DLU side of the gateway.
VTAM hint: Possible causes of this error include, but are not limited to, the following ones:
  • A gateway NCP freed a network address before VTAM is finished with it. To diagnose the problem, first identify which LU has the network address and determine why NCP thinks it is freed. This will require looking at both a VTAM dump and a VTAM internal trace. Find the failing SRTA in the trace; it usually precedes the CPRC. From there, you can identify the LU. Most likely, there will be a SIB queued to the LU. This will provide some information about why the network address is still in use.
  • There is a mismatch between the VTAM CDRM definitions for a null network attached user and the user gateway NCP GWNAU statements.

    For example, this VTAM has a CDRM definition for ADJNETEL=2, but the user gateway NCP does not have a GWNAU statement for ELEMENT=2. The problem is intermittent because the gateway NCP assigns element numbers randomly.

  • There are gateway NCPs sharing the same subarea in the same null network.
0008
An ACTCDRM request was received that contained a network address already in use.
