OMPROUTE connection problems

OMPROUTE connection problems are reported when OMPROUTE is unable to connect to TCP/IP or to one of the ports required for OSPF or RIP communication. These problems are generally caused by an error in the configuration or definitions in TCP/IP.

In a common INET environment (multiple stacks), OMPROUTE attempts to connect to a stack whose name is determined by the TCPIPjobname keyword in the resolver configuration data set or file. If OMPROUTE cannot determine the TCPIPjobname, it uses a default of INET. If OMPROUTE cannot communicate with the stack pointed to by TCPIPjobname or is unable to initialize its required ports, it issues an error message describing the problem and then terminates.
