I used the example on the IBM website to get the maintenance for z/OS 
V1R8.  I am getting the following message:

Connecting to: dispsd-76.boulder.ibm.com 207.25.253.76 port: 21. 
Connection to server interrupted or timed out. Initial connection 
Std Return Code = 1, Error Code = 8 

Is there a way to place a WAIT in the http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Did you get an GIM* message also?  There is wait in the receive order
command.  The default is 120 minutes, but sometimes I have timed out
so I always run with WAIT(300).

Is there a way to place a WAIT in the connection time?


I received similar errors yesterday myself, so I suggest this error may 
be transient and caused by the IBM FTP server and not by your z/OS 
system or network.   Maybe.  Try again today and see if the problem 
persists.


Even so, there are options you can tweak in your FTP.DATA file that 
affect FTP connect time, etc.  I don't remember the specific keywords, 
but you can find them in the Communications Server IP User's Guide. 
BTW, check out the  tag in your SMP/E CLIENT data set in 
case you want to override the default FTP.DATA file.

Re: SMPE error in FROMNET

2008-03-15 Thread Kenneth E Tomiak
I was getting that error last week, starting around 4 PM MST on a Thursday. 
It continued until Tuesday. We slowly pieced together what our problem was, 
your results may vary. A combination of a DNS server change on our part and 
the domain registrar broadcasting some IP addresses for DNS servers that 
were retired years ago. Once we flushed the DNS cache on our servers, 
Tuesday, it magically started working again. During this time, inbound mail was 
arriving slowly, too. At first I suggested the IBM servers might be 
overwhelmed if everyone jumps to receive the RSU maintenance after we get 
notified it is available. A year ago we used to alternate which site we went to 
if it failed on one. We stopped having to do that six months ago.
