Hi Simon, Alter the parameter SAPADDR=4, if you have other SWN active or defined in our VTAM. The SAPADDR=4 must be unique and when you tested it a time ago, it yet was not defined in VTAM.

Today we tried to bring up the XCA in VTAM and it fails every time. The SNA ports in the OSA are defined in the OAT like this: Image 0.2 (VMTEST ) 0A(B10A) SNA 00 0B(B10B) SNA 00 And when I do a GET OAT the output says: 0A(B10A) SNA 00 S ALL 0B(B10B) SNA 00 S ALL The XCA definition in VTAM is this: XSWTO VBUILD TYPE=XCA * XSWTOP PORT ADAPNO=0,CUADDR=B10A,MEDIUM=CSMACD,SAPADDR=4,TIMER=90 * XSWTOG GROUP DIAL=YES,CALL=INOUT,DYNPU=YES * XSTOLL00 LINE ANSWER=ON,ISTATUS=ACTIVE XSTOLP00 PU ISTATUS=ACTIVE <same for 01, 02... 17, 18> XSTOLL19 LINE ANSWER=ON,ISTATUS=ACTIVE XSTOLP19 PU ISTATUS=ACTIVE I attached the 0A port to VTAM: CP Q B10A OSA B10A ATTACHED TO VTAM B10A READY; T=0.01/0.01 19:13:28 and tried to activate the XCA: V NET,ACT,ID=XSWTO,SCOPE=ALL IST097I VARY ACCEPTED IST093I XSWTO ACTIVE But when I do a Display: D NET,ID=XSWTO,SCOPE=ALL IST097I DISPLAY ACCEPTED IST075I NAME = XSWTO, TYPE = XCA MAJOR NODE IST486I STATUS= ACTIV, DESIRED STATE= ACTIV IST1021I MEDIUM=CSMA/CD,ADAPNO= 0,CUA=B10A,SNA SAP= 4 IST654I I/O TRACE = OFF, BUFFER TRACE = OFF IST170I LINES: IST232I XSWOL00 , PALNK IST232I XSWOL01 , PALNK <same for 02, 03, .... 17, 18> IST232I XSWOL19 , PALNK IST314I END I have already tried resetting the channel (toggle standby from all LPARS in the HMC, and toggle online just where it is needed) but that did not help at all. So, does anyone see what the problem might be? PLEASE? Thanks very much!!
