There's your error. You copied the stack class definition to your SYSTEM DTCPARMS and changed it. Don't do that. When you alter a class definition, it applies to ALL instances of :class.stack. VSWITCH controllers are :class.stack. 1. Move those :vctc tags to your :nick.TCPIP :type.server definition. 2. Remove the :nick.stack :type.class definition from SYSTEM DTCPARMS. > > is my VSWCTRL1 trying to COUPLE to SP4? > > but then, why isn't trying to COUPLE to SP2TEST as well? If a :vctc. fails, the whole process comes to a stop. > > can i have a separate DCTPARMS just for my VSWITCH controllers ? You can, but there's no need. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
