Richard, I'll try to provide more details.
We have historically been a RUMBA shop, using RUMBA for normal telnet traffic going to our z9. We also have an application that uses RUMBA HLLAPI interfaces for screen scraping into other software packages. Recently management decided they wanted to switch our emulator from RUMBA to HOD. (political decision that I can't do anything about) Anyway, once the developers started messing with HOD, we have occasionally had the situation where a block of LUs will become unavailable to RUMBA. When this happens, the victim will get a black screen in RUMBA. The LUname will show on the RUMBA screen, but our TPX session manager main screen will fail to appear. The user will disconnect/reconnect, getting the next LUname and probably another black screen. Eventually they will get a session and TPX will come up. If, in the middle of this, the person tries to connect with HOD, they will get right in. I think it is a timing issue of some sort but haven't been able to track it down. Hence, I was hoping to get some kind of historical VTAM LU session start/end records and compare them (brute force) to the SMF 119 records out of TCPIP. Unfortunately I know nothing about HOD and the setup they used on it.
