ERROR FOR ncpname.pathname DSA destsubarea text CODE code

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message in response to an error during the processing of one of the following commands:
  • VARY ACT,ID=ncpname where a NEWPATH operand is found during processing of the PCCU definition statement
  • VARY ACT,ID=ncpname,NEWPATH=pathname
  • VARY ACT,ID=pathname

During activation of the dynamic path update set that includes pathname, a negative response was received from the SETCV RU request to NCP ncpname.

The destination subarea (DSA) is indicated by destsubarea.

The combination of text and code indicates the cause of the error.
  • If text is ERN ern, possible codes include:
    CODE 2
    Control block allocation failed for explicit route number ern.
    You probably need to increase one of the following:
    • TGBXTRA, PATHEXT, or VRPOOL rows value in the NCP BUILD.
    • TGBXTRA or PATHEXT or both on the NETWORK definition statement.
    See NCP, SSP, and EP Resource Definition Reference SC31-6224 for guidelines on coding TGBXTRA, PATHEXT, and VRPOOL in the BUILD definition statement, or TGBXTRA and PATHEXT in the NETWORK definition statement.
    CODE 3
    Explicit route number ern is currently operative.
    CODE 10
    Adjacent subarea specified for explicit route number ern is larger than SALIMIT.
    CODE 11
    Explicit route number ern conflicts with ERLIMIT.
  • If text is NETID netid, possible codes include:
    CODE 1
    Network ID netid is invalid.
    CODE 2
    Control block allocation failed for network ID netid.
    You probably need to increase one of the following:
    • TGBXTRA, PATHEXT, or VRPOOL rows value in the NCP BUILD.
    • TGBXTRA or PATHEXT, or both, on the NETWORK definition statement.
    See NCP, SSP, and EP Resource Definition Reference SC31-6224 for guidelines on coding TGBXTRA, PATHEXT, and VRPOOL in the BUILD definition statement, or TGBXTRA and PATHEXT in the NETWORK definition statement.
    CODE 8
    Messages for the rejected ER, VR or VRPWS subfields in network ID netid follow.
    CODE 9
    Destination subarea is larger than SALIMIT specified for the network ID netid.
  • If text is VRN/ERN vrn/ern, possible codes include:
    CODE 4
    Virtual route number vrn is mapped to an undefined explicit route number ern.
    CODE 5
    Virtual route number vrn is mapped to a different explicit route (not ern).
    CODE 11
    Virtual route number vrn is mapped to an explicit route number ern that conflicts with ERLIMIT.
  • If text is VRN/TPF vrn/tpf, possible codes include:
    CODE 2
    Control block allocation failed for virtual route number/transmission priority field vrn/tpf.
    You probably need to increase one of the following:
    • TGBXTRA, PATHEXT, or VRPOOL rows value in the NCP BUILD.
    • TGBXTRA or PATHEXT or both on the NETWORK definition statement.
    See NCP, SSP, and EP Resource Definition Reference SC31-6224 for guidelines on coding TGBXTRA, PATHEXT, and VRPOOL in the BUILD definition statement, or TGBXTRA and PATHEXT in the NETWORK definition statement.
    CODE 6
    No corresponding virtual route (VR) exists in that path definition for virtual route number/transmission priority field vrn/tpf.
    CODE 7
    Virtual route number/transmission priority field vrn/tpf is already active.

See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Resource Definition Reference for the correct use of VTAM operands on NCP definition statements. See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide for an explanation of dynamic path update.

System action

The dynamic path update of pathname is ignored. Processing of the dynamic path update set that includes pathname continues.

Operator response

Save the system log for problem determination.

System programmer response

Correct the dynamic path update set and try the failed command again.
