OA39554: GATEWAY AUTOTASK RESTARTING LOOP ON DUPLICATE SDFROOT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An incorrect update to the SDFROOT value on a Netview in
  a system which runs two NetViews was made.  This resulted
  in both NetViews having the same SDFROOT value, and the
  gateway autotask failing on the SDF focal point.
  This resulted in a message:
  AOF776I CONNECTION FROM DOMAIN xxxxx xxxx REJECTED AT DOMAIN
  xxxx SDFROOT NAME IS THE SAME AS DOMAIN xxxxx.
  SA immediately restarted the gateway autotask which failed
  and restarted in a loop.

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All SA z/OS V3R2, V3R3 and V3R4 customers.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When msgAOF776I is issued indicating a  *
  *                      rejected connection, the connecting     *
  *                      task is logged off. This in turn can    *
  *                      cause AOFR1ILL to be issued from the AT *
  *                      to log this task back on and therefore  *
  *                      creating a loop. One of the causes of   *
  *                      this can be a wrongly defined SDF root. *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A loop caused by a wrongly defined SDF root should not cause a
  logon/logoff loop for the task in question, normally the gateway
  task for the remote system.
  

Problem conclusion

• Rexx routines INGRVXMT and AOFR1ILL have been changed to avoid a
  logon/logoff loop when a SDF root has been defined incorrectly.
