ACTIVATION OF CDRM cdrmname {FAILED|QUEUED} — GWN PATH NOT AVAILABLE

Explanation

During the activation of a cross-network CDRM, no gateway NCP could be selected to support the SSCP-SSCP session with external CDRM cdrmname.

If VTAM® could find no active gateway NCPs, only this message will be issued. If VTAM was able to select an active gateway NCP, messages issued prior to this one indicate the failures that occurred.

System action

If activation is:
QUEUED
The activation of external CDRM cdrmname is queued pending the availability of a suitable gateway NCP as defined by the GWPATH statements for CDRM cdrmname.
FAILED
The activation of external CDRM cdrmname failed because of insufficient storage, or all paths as defined by the GWPATH statements for CDRM cdrmname have been tried and have failed.

Operator response

If you do not want the activation to remain pending, issue a VARY INACT command for the CDRM cdrmname.

Otherwise, save the system log and network logs for problem determination.

System programmer response

This message is normal if:
  • During activation, paths failed but were expected to fail.
  • An existing SSCP-SSCP session was disrupted because of the failure of the session from the host SSCP to the gateway NCP.

No action is necessary if, upon recovery of the gateway NCP or an alternate gateway path, the SSCP-SSCP session re-established itself.

You will probably need to add to or change the GWPATH definitions associated with the external CDRM or change the GWNAU definition in the gateway NCP if:
  • This message occurs upon initial activation of the external CDRM.
  • The activation of the external CDRM or appropriate gateway NCP does not result in recovery of the session.

See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide for more information on how the GWPATH and GWNAU definition statements relate to CDRM activation.
