IST645I
configname DEFINITION FAILED — NO VALID macrotype MACRO

Explanation

During activation or resource takeover, the NCP definition, configname, failed for one of the following reasons:
  • There is no valid macrotype definition statement in the NCP definition.
  • The NETID operand was specified in each macrotype definition statement of the NCP definition, but none of the NETID values match the network ID of this host.
  • There is no macrotype definition statement in which the value of the specified or defaulted SUBAREA operand matches the subareas of this host. For HOST definition statements, if SUBAREA is not specified, the subarea value defaults to 1, but this can cause a mismatch if the HOSTSA start option value was different. For PCCU definition statements, the SUBAREA operand value defaults to the subarea of this host.
  • The HOST definition statement must be specified for locally attached pre-V4R3 NCPs.
  • The BUILD definition statement was encountered before a valid PCCU definition statement (either the PCCU definition statement was not specified or none were found that specified a matching NETID and SUBAREA).

System action

Activation of the NCP definition deck fails during network definition.

Operator response

Save the system log for problem determination.

System programmer response

Correct or include a macrotype definition statement with the proper NETID and SUBAREA values (or defaults).
