IST1686I
NO USABLE TCP/IP JOB AVAILABLE FOR HPR/IP

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message in response to a failed activation request for an HPR/IP (Enterprise Extender) connection because no usable TCP/IP job is running.

When using HPR over IP, VTAM acts as a TCP/IP application. Consequently, VTAM must know the job name of TCP/IP.

If the TCPNAME start or modify option was specified, this message is issued when the TCP/IP job specified as a start or modify option is not running, has the wrong version, or has the wrong status.

If the TCPNAME start or modify option was not specified, VTAM issues this message when it was unable to find an executing TCP/IP job with an acceptable version and status.

The job name is specified on the TCPIPJOBNAME statement in the TCP/IP data file. See the z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for information about the TCPIPJOBNAME statement.

System action

The HPR/IP (Enterprise Extender) port will not be activated.

Operator response

Check the status of the TCP/IP jobs by issuing the DISPLAY TCPIP command. Issue the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command to change the TCP/IP job name that will be used. Then repeat the activation command for the Enterprise Extender. See the z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for more information about the DISPLAY TCPIP command.

System programmer response

None.
