NCP SLOWDOWN INITIATED FOR controller

Explanation

The communication controller controller has entered system slowdown mode because the NCP SLODOWN buffer threshold has been reached. NCP reduces the number of PIUs it will accept from VTAM®, and will stop accepting PIUs if buffer depletion continues and the CWALL limit is reached.

System action

VTAM performs no direct VTAM action. The actual function of entering slowdown occurs at a channel interface level.

Operator response

Save the system log for problem determination and obtain an NCP dump with the NCP dump utilities.

System programmer response

Make the necessary changes to the NCP generation. See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Diagnosis Vol 2, FFST Dumps and the VIT for more information about NCP dumps.
