Explanation

  • The IPADDR or HOSTNAME parameter is specified on any Enterprise Extender GROUP definition statement.
  • Running in a CINET TCP/IP environment (Common INET - multiple TCP/IP stacks.) If OMVS is not initialized at Enterprise Extender line activation, a Common INET environment is assumed.

line is the name of the Enterprise Extender line that failed activation.

System action

Enterprise Extender line activation failed.

Operator response

Temporarily, you can issue a MODIFY VTAMOPTS command and specify the value of the TCPNAME start option. Then reissue the VARY ACT command to activate the Enterprise Extender line. Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

Code the TCPNAME as a VTAM® start option.
