IST465I
command FOR ID = nodename FAILED — NO {LOAD|DUMP|LINK} STATION AVAILABLE

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when the command failed for nodename because the necessary load, dump or link station was not available for one of the following reasons:

  1. VTAM tried to select a default dump or load station, and none was available.
  2. The load or dump station was deactivated while a load or dump was being performed.
  3. VTAM was unable to establish connectivity between nodename and any link station in the RNAME list from the VARY ACT command.

System action

VTAM deactivates nodename and rejects the command. Other processing continues.

Operator response

Display nodename and all link stations to check spelling and status. Save the system log for problem determination.
  • For reasons 1 and 2, allow VTAM to choose the default load or dump station.
  • For reason 3, activate the link stations before reissuing the command to activate the communication controller.

VTAM will issue other error messages for each link station that failed to establish a connection with the communication controller. See those messages for further help.

System programmer response

Check that the link stations in the RNAME list are valid and can be used to establish connectivity with the communication controller. Correct the RNAME list if needed.
