IST716I command FOR linkstation FAILED
IST717I NETID netid ID nodename SA subarea {CANNOT BE DEFINED|NNODE TYPE INVALID}
The command for
link station linkstation failed when the adjacent
node nodename was contacted during the activation
of the link station.
See Command and RU types in VTAM messages for
a description of command.
The indicated
adjacent node is in network netid and has a subarea
address of subarea.
One of the following
conditions caused the failure:
- CANNOT BE DEFINED
- VTAM® could not define the
indicated adjacent node because of either insufficient storage or
an inability to interpret the adjacent network’s addresses.
- NODE TYPE INVALID
- The indicated adjacent node, as identified by its network address,
is not a PU type 4 or PU type 5.
System action
The link station is deactivated and command processing
is halted.
Operator response
- CANNOT BE DEFINED
- Try to activate the link station again. If the activation is unsuccessful,
enter the DISPLAY BFRUSE command. Save the system log and request
a dump for problem determination.
- NODE TYPE INVALID
- Save the system log for problem determination.
System programmer response
- CANNOT BE DEFINED
- Check storage availability and code a BUILD or NETWORK definition
statement with the MAXSUBA operand for the adjacent network netid in
the NCP major node definition that is activated by this host.
- NODE TYPE INVALID
- The indicated adjacent node is known to VTAM as a node other than a PU type 4 or PU
type 5. It might be known as a cross-network resource. Check address
assignments in the network netid.
