Documentation

To determine the cause of a Telnet client session hang, the following is needed:
  • Information about what was seen at the client screen
  • VTAM® buffer trace of the local device LU
  • VTAM internal trace (if the error appears to be in VTAM)
  • VTAM TSO trace of the user ID issuing Telnet
  • GTF trace of SVC93 and SVC94 (TGET/TPUT)
  • Telnet client trace
  • Dump of the TSO user’s address space
  • TCP/IP packet trace and CTRACE with TELNET option on remote host (if possible)

The preceding list of documentation is a complete list that includes documentation needed to resolve most types of hangs. All of the indicated data might not be needed for each occurrence of a hang. The following analysis section provides information about what types of data might be needed through each diagnostic step.
