NO DIAL-OUT LINE FOUND FOR SWITCHED PU puname

Explanation

This message is issued in response to an Enterprise Extender dial failure. A switched connection cannot be established because no Enterprise Extender line is available for the PU name specified by the puname value.

System action

The process that initiated the dial fails.

Operator response

Issue the D NET,PATHS,ID=puname command to examine the EE XCA major node group associated with the local static VIPA address. If any EE lines are defined but currently not active, issue the V NET,ACT,ID=groupname,SCOPE=ALL command to activate these lines, then reissue the process that failed. If no lines are available, contact the system programmer.

System programmer response

Update the EE XCA major node to define additional lines on which to dial out in one of the following ways:
  • If you defined a new group with additional lines, you can dynamically activate a new group in the EE XCA major node by issuing the V NET,ACT,ID=eexcamajornode,UPDATE=ADD command.
  • If you defined additional lines to an existing group, activating the new lines might be disruptive to existing EE connections. If this is acceptable, you can perform one of the following actions to activate the newly defined lines:
    • To dynamically update an EE XCA major node group, deactivate all existing lines in the modified group. Issue the V NET,INACT,ID=eegroupname,F command to deactivate these lines. When the EE group is inactive, you can issue the V NET,ACT,ID=eegroupname,UPDATE=ADD command to dynamically update the group.
    • Issue a V NET,INACT,ID=eexcamajornode,F command to deactivate Enterprise Extender, then issue a V NET,ACT,ID=eegroupname,SCOPE=ALL command to activate your modified Enterprise Extender definitions.

When the lines are defined and activated, instruct the operator to reissue the process that generated the dial.
