PPO
Hi - I have a confusing situation which causes me to ask some questions about PPO (Primary Program Operator). How can I determine who is PPO? Can an application be PPO without an open ACB with AUTH=PPO i. e. OPS/MVS? What happens if two applications competes to become PPO?

Re: PPO
Chris - Thanks a lot! The confusing thing here is about a new customer coming in. We are trying to figure out how automation and monitoring network connections are handled. A colleague claims that OPS/MVS is PPO. I did exactly what you suggest and made a search in VTAMLST for 'PPO' and found only one node with AUTH=PPO - it was Netmaster and it is definitely not active and Netmaster does not use it. I'm not an OP/MVS guy so I feared that there could be some tricky interfaces buildt in, which could grap unsolicited messages. I've skimmed the OPS-rules and dont find anything which could indicate action on unsolicited messages but I'm still in doubt!

OPS/MVS? No. From the description of the AUTH operand in the z/OS Communications Server Resource Definition Reference manual: quote AUTH=(NOACQ,NOASDP,NOCNM,NOPASS,NOPO,NOTSO,VPACE) ... AUTH=PPO AUTH=SPO AUTH=NOPO Specifies whether the application program can issue VTAM operator commands and receive responses and unsolicited messages. z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programming describes the program operator application. If you code either the primary program operator (PPO) or the secondary program operator (SPO), the application program is authorized to issue SENDCMD and RCVCMD macroinstructions. If you code PPO, the application program receives all unsolicited messages, that is, all informational and error messages that are not replies to operator commands. If no PPO-designated application program is active when these messages occur, they are directed to the system console. /quote Note that AUTH=NOPO is default as shown in the first line. What happens if two applications competes to become PPO? Since AUTH=PPO is all about a VTAM API we search in the appropriate manual [1] and find in section Defining a program operator in Appendix L, Program operator coding requirements in the z/OS Communications Server SNA Programming manual: quote Only one primary program operator can be active at a time; however, one or more secondary program operators can also be active. /quote Since it is forbidden that two programs with AUTH=PPO can be active, again we search in the appropriate manual and find in section OPEN macroinstruction error fields in ACB OPEN and CLOSE macroinstruction error fields in Chapter 2, Return codes for VTAM macroinstructions in the z/OS Communications Server IP and SNA Codes manual: quote 104 (X'68') The APPLID field in the ACB identifies an application program that is defined with AUTH=PPO in its APPL definition statement. Another program with the same authorization is active. Only one program defined with AUTH=PPO can be active at a time. /quote How can I determine who is PPO? I'm afraid I'm unaware of a specific command which can be entered which actually identifies which program currently holds the PPO baton, as it were, and searching for PPO in the appropriate manual, z/OS Communications Server SNA Operation, doesn't show anything. What you could do - rather laboriously - is scan all - likely - active applications which are active in VTAM and check the APPL statement for AUTH=(...,PPO,...). Perhaps you should post again explaining what your confusing situation is. Chris Mason [1] Long, long ago in the late '70s, this API actually had its own rather slim manual!

Re: lpr command from z/OS to network printer
Hi - Try enter 'tso lpr help' You will see this: TRANSLATETABLE NAMESpecifies that the translate table to be used by the client is found in the name.TCPXLBIN data set. Xlatetable is a synonym for this option. So you can apply a translatetable in this way!

Re: TN3270 *from* a host??
Chris - I thought I understood the question - after your mail I may be confused! What we did was: Telnet (PCOMM) to z/os mainframe and get NVAS logon menu - logon tso and enter TSO TELNET and via TCP/IP go through the TCP/IP stack in another z/OS mainframe and get the NVAS logon screen on this system - logon here and run normal tso/ispf. No 'network-SNA' involved - only 'application SNA'.

Does this imply using the TSO TELNET client as most responders have assumed or does it mean a TN3270 connection to a TN3270 server in one system where the SNA application accessed is in another system? This latter interpretation may be what you are assuming. There is no surprise here since it is SNA business-as-usual.
