EZZ8782I
PAGENT CONNECTION NO LONGER ACTIVE TO POLICY SERVER FOR tcpImage : serverType AT host

Explanation

The connection between the Policy Agent that is acting as a policy client and the Policy Agent that is acting as a policy server is no longer active. This is expected if a change was made to the configuration that caused the connection to end. For example, the PolicyServer configuration statement on the policy client might have been removed.

On the policy client, the ServerConnection statement can be configured with connection and security information for a primary and optional backup policy server. On the policy client for each TCP/IP stack, a PolicyServer statement can be configured with processing and security information for the policy server. On the policy server, the ClientConnection statement contains the listening port for this connection.

In the message text:
tcpImage
The name of the TCP/IP stack that lost the connection to the policy server.
serverType
The type of policy server that lost a connection. Possible values are:
PRIMARY
Primary policy server
BACKUP
Backup policy server
host
The host name or the IP address for which the connection to the policy server was lost.

System action

The policy client continues. If a configuration change caused the connection to end, the existing remote policies are removed from the policy client's corresponding TCP/IP stack. But if the connection ended unexpectedly, the existing remote policies remain installed in the policy client's corresponding TCP/IP stack. The policy client uses the configured connection-wait parameter and connection-retry parameter on the ServerConnection statement to automatically retry the primary and backup connections until it connects to a server. Until the connection attempt is successful, the policy client cannot retrieve new remote policies.

Operator response

If a configuration change did not cause the connection to end, contact the system programmer. If the system programmer indicates that more information is required in the policy server or policy client log file, restart the appropriate Policy Agent with a minimum of LogLevel 127 configured in the configuration file, and with the -d 128 start option.

System programmer response

Examine the log files to determine the errors that prevented a connection between the policy client and the policy server. See the information about configuring the policy agent in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for information about setting up the correct configuration. If configuration changes were made, restart the Policy Agent on the system where the changes were made. If more information is needed to diagnose the errors, re-create the error with a minimum of LogLevel 127 and start the policy server or policy client with the -d 128 start option.

User response

Not applicable.
