Sorry, my mistake.  For some reason I started thinking this was a 1.9 migration
issue.

That's what the sys prog was thinking as well.  We'll probably bounce it off 
the network admin tomorrow.

Other ideas still welcomed.

2008-04-02 Thread Wayne Driscoll
Mark,
But the OP said that he was having the problem on the 1.7 system, which had
1.9 toleration applied, not the 1.9 system.  1.7 still runs fine with TN3270
in the TCPIP address space.  It isn't until 1.9 that you must split them
out.

I don't know what you are calling it, but you must be if you are using
TN3270.  It is required as of z/OS 1.9. If it is falling into some low
priority service class, then it could be that it is only TN3270 having
a problem when the system is very heavily loaded and not the entire
system as was previously mentioned.

I would go looking into the network side of the house.  Since it appears to
be happening at a certain time, for a certain duration, that points to the
network.

And the TN3270 server is not required at 1.8.  I'll find out soon on 1.9.

And yes, I know

That is correct.  We are still on z/OS 1.7 with the 1.9 toleration PTFs applied 
so that was my understanding as well.
Is there something we are missing?

As far as I can tell, we don't run a separate TN3270 stc.  But looking at the 
TCPIP started task for the TCPIP stack functions, I did notice there was an 
EZZ4328I ERROR E010 SETTING ROUTING FOR DEVICE OSAFD10

Good point.  The OP did say the system was locking up or slowing down, 
but perhaps it is just TSO and the perception is that the entire system is
having a problem. 

So check to see that TN3270 (or whatever your STC is) is running in SYSSTC.

Since it looks like you can predict when it will happen again, instead of 
trying to figure it out by issuing operator commands, take a console
dump of VTAM, TCPIP, GRS and WLM (that should be good for starters)
and open up a PMR with IBM (unless you can start diagnosis yourself 
from the dump).

z/OS 1.7 with toleration PTFs for 1.9

2008-04-02 Thread Gilbert Cardenas
Hello everyone, I'm looking for some feedback for some problems were having 
with the operating system either locking up (ipl locked up) or slowing down to 
a crawl for a period of around 30 minutes.  

There are always changes going in but the most recent and suspect is that 
1.9 tolerations ptfs were applied recently to the o/s. 

The only symptom that something is happening is that any TSO users logged 
on get disconnected and an error message is issued:
IKT116I USERID  RECEIVE ERROR,RPLRTNCD=14 RPLFDB2=13
 SENSE= WAITING FOR RECONNECTION
IKT122I IPADDR..PORT ...

I could'nt find the RTNCD=14 with FDB2=13 in z/OS V1R7.0 Comm Svr: SNA 
Messages or the z/OS Communications Server: IP and SNA Codes and SNA 
Programming Guide

I've googled trying several variations but so far all I could come up with is 
that 
there is possibly some problems with auxillary storage or getmain/freemain 
virtual storage.

If anyone has run across these codes I would appreciate any information you 
could share with me.

This is only happening once a week at the same general time so I have 
scheduled several display commands such as D ASM,ALL and $DA to display 
what is going on at the time.

There are several jobs that are processing across 3 lpars (not sysplexed) and 
it's hard to isolate it to one job (it this is really the culprit.)

Are there any other commands I can issue to detect what might be going on 
with the system at intervals leading up to the slowdown as we have very little 
information to act upon except for the TSO users being forced off.

Thanks in advance,
Gil.
