Thanks, Dave - but your being able to do it does not explain why we get the error msgs when attempting to start the TCPNJE link (not SNANJE) and let it wait for the JES2 side to start. Perhaps it is old maintenance? But an IBMLink "SIS" search did not turn up anything.

Hi, Mike. RSCS will keep listening for the remote side of the connection to come up and when it does, RSCS will finish making the connection. You don't need to do anything else on your end..... I have a number of RSCS links here to other z/VM sites that come and go at unpredictable times, and RSCS will start the links automatically when it sees the other side is up. Hope this helps.
