I am getting the same messages on IBMLINK Green Screen as Ed Jaffe was
receiving:
ICH70001I T424GAM LAST ACCESS AT 23:29:17 ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2006

HOLDING
ELINK7 <==From Line 24
I was not sure from Ed's post if he successfully recevied the IBMLINK Main
Menu or not.
I wanted others to be aware that although the above issue is still
occurring ( Friday, 12/01/06,
18:00 Central Standard Time 00:00 GMT ) you can get past this condition.
Note that the CP/CMS
status line ( Line 24 on a 24x80 screen ) indicates HOLDING. VM wants the
user to press the 3270
Clear or PA2 key. I used the Clear key ( PA2 key also works ) and
successfully received the IBMLINK Main Menu.
The screen was placed into HOLDING status ( I'm guessing ) because of the
highlighted
ACVRDR0209I message. I searched on IBMLINK & Google and didn't get one
hit. It is
probably from an IBM internal SVM ( Service Virtual Machine ) that receives
VMLINK command
failures.
FYI: According to the VMLINK command, a Return Code of: 1298 is really:
VMLINK RC Meaning
1xxx CP LINK returned RC = xxx.
Checking the CP LINK command return codes, Return Code of 298 is:
HCP298E userid vdev not linked; request denied
According to the z/VM online help messages manual, HCP298E means:
HCP298E userid vdev not linked; request denied.
Explanation: The external security manager (ESM) has determined you are not
authorized to link to the virtual device that you specified in the LINK
command.
System Action: The command is ignored. The link is not done.
User Response: Obtain the appropriate authorization and enter the LINK
command
again.
Operator Response: Contact your system administrator to obtain the
necessary
authorization.
I'll bet somebody changed something in the database of RACF/VM.
