PQ70413: HOMETEST NOT USING A STATEMENT IN THE TCPIP.DATA FILE 03/03/10 PTF PECHANGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer has a single tcpip.data file that is shared between
  systems.  The tcpip.data file contains system name labels with
  the associated keyword.  The first statement that does not
  contains the system name label does not get used.  For
  example:
  ABC: HOSTNAME ABC
  EFG: HOSTNAME EFG
  DOMAINORIGIN  XYZ
  In this case, the DOMAINORIGIN statement does not get used
  which caused HOMETEST to fail with the following messages:
  EZA0605I Using Name Server to Resolve ABC
  EZA0609E Error:  Found no IP addresses corresponding to TCP Host
  EZA0610E ABC
  EZA0624I * * * Hometest failed - configuration error * * *
  EZA0625I Please correct your TCP/IP configuration and run this
           program again.
  .
  KEYWORDS: HOMETEST PASCAL RESOLVER TCPIP DATA
  .
  VERIFICATION STEPS:
  Turn on TRACE RESOLVER.  The output will show that one statement
  did not get used.
  

Local fix

• Move the statements with system names to the bottom of the
  tcpip.data file.
