This message is issued when the DISPLAY TOPO command is issued from an end node or a migration data host and a command keyword that is not valid because it does not specify a local topology database entry. The topology database entry specified must be the local node or a transmission group originated at the local node. See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for the limitations on the DISPLAY TOPO commands issued on end nodes and migration data hosts.
