The SYSTCPSM socket is part of the z/OS TCP/IP Network Management Interface.
Specifically it streams the TCP/IP server SMF data (eg FTP and Telnet) so that a monitoring product can intercept the data (SYSTCPDA is for packet trace data). The socket is created in response to the "NETMONITOR SMFSERVICE" statement in PROFILE.TCPIP If the socket was terminated early, I would guess that the z/OS TCP/IP options were changed dynamically by operator command. The only impact would most likely be absence of monitoring data by the product that issued the BNH601I message. Rob Scott Lead Developer Rocket Software 77 Fourth Avenue . Suite 100 . Waltham .

BNH601I TCPSM REQUEST ON SOCKET /var/sock/SYSTCPSM.TCPIP ENDED DUE TO SOCKET INTERFACE TERMINATION . but this error doesn't seems to be related to Netview. BNH601I message description 'requestname' REQUEST ON SOCKET 'nnn' ENDED DUE TO SOCKET INTERFACE TERMINATION Explanation: A socket-specific, asynchronous TCP/IP request made by the socket interface ended, because the socket interface was ended on the NetView task. Message Variables: requestnameThe name of the asynchronous TCP/IP request.nnnThe descriptor number for the socket whose request ended. System action: Processing continues. Operator response: If desired, restart the socket interface. I also checked omvs directory setup on z/OS 2.1 system and found # pwd /SYSTEM/var/sock # ls SYSTCPCN.TCPIP SYSTCPDA.TCPIP But I don't see this sock directory under z/OS 1.12 etc system . any clue on this issue or we can just ignore this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
