Can RSCS start a TCPNJE link and keep listening for the remote side to start?

2007-01-15 Thread Mike Walter
We are just now beginning to experiment with the RSCS TCPNJE link to z/OS (had to wait for z/OS to provide a TCPNJE link for JES2). When we start an SNANJE link on RSCS, it will wait patiently for the remote side to start up. But when attempting to start an RSCS TCPNJE line driver (link name

Hi, Mike. RSCS will keep listening for the remote side of the connection to come up and when it does, RSCS will finish making the connection. You don't need to do anything else on your end. I have a number of RSCS links here to other z/VM sites that come and go at unpredictable times,

Thanks, Dave - but your being able to do it does not explain why we get the error msgs when attempting to start the TCPNJE link (not SNANJE) and let it wait for the JES2 side to start. Perhaps it is old maintenance? But an IBMLink SIS search did not turn up anything. Mike Walter Hewitt

Note too that when a TCPNJE links breaks, RSCS will not attempt to restart, unless... your create a LinkName GCS Rexx exec and place an Address RSCS 'START linkname' inside it. Still not 100% perfect I learned, but it helps. Yes, SNA links has fewer start problems. 2007/1/15, Mike Walter

Remember that the LINKDEFINE for RSCS contains both a Link Name and a Node Name. Could it be a mismatch with one of these? According to the RSCS code we have received a reason code of 1 in the CRR control record. This indicates a node mismatch. If reviewing your configuration doesn't find

What I think is happening here, since it was mentioned that the problem only occurs when the JES link has not been started is, JES decided to make an implementation change to stop RSCS from retrying connect attempts until the JES link had started. What they decided to do was to reject the RSCS

See the append I just posted, I don't think RSCS maintenance will provide any change in this behavior. I recommend opening a PMR to JES support and complain about this behavior. If the JES side is started, the link will connect correct? They need to provide another approach to slow RSCS connect
