Explanation
An error has occurred during activation of gateway
NCP ncpname. VTAM® was
unable to record the network address of ncpname as
assigned in the nonlocal network netid. For VTAM to accept a request for an
LU-LU session through the gateway NCP of another network, VTAM in the local network must
be able to record that NCP’s network address in the other network.
Network
addresses are assigned by VTAM based
on the NETID, MAXSUBA, and SUBAREA operands of the BUILD or NETWORK
definition statements in the definition of that gateway NCP.
code indicates
the reason for the error and can be one of the following:
- 1
- There already exists in the local network a record of a gateway
NCP in the nonlocal network netid with the same
subarea number.
- 2
- The subarea range in the network netid is not
known. The MAXSUBA operand was not specified in the BUILD or NETWORK
definition statement in the definition of ncpname. VTAM must be supplied the subarea
range of netid in order to assign a network address.
- 3
- There is insufficient storage to record the network addresses.
System action
Activation of the gateway NCP ncpname continues;
however, VTAM will either not
be able to accept a request for a LU-LU session through ncpname from
the network netid or, if code is 1,
will route a session request through a different gateway NCP. Results
are unpredictable.
Operator response
Save the system log and print the major node
definition for problem determination.
System programmer response
The value of
code determines
the response:
- 1
- Examine the definition decks of the gateway NCPs that have been
activated, or are being activated, for the network netid.
Check the NETID and SUBAREA operands of the BUILD or NETWORK definition
statements. There should be no duplicate subarea numbers for the same
network.
- 2
- Code MAXSUBA in the BUILD or NETWORK definition statement in which NETID = netid has
been specified.
- 3
- There is insufficient storage to record the gateway NCP’s
network address in network netid. Have the operator
cancel nonessential jobs or deactivate an unused part of the network
to prevent further losses. You might have to halt and restart VTAM if there are too many failures.
