IST066I
command FAILED — CONFLICTING OR INVALID OPTIONS

Explanation

The operator entered the command with an operand or combination of operands that was not valid. Two or more options might be mutually exclusive, or a particular option might be valid only for some types of nodes. This message might also occur when an NCP or channel-to-channel adapter is already activated with different parameters.

System action

VTAM® rejects the command.

Operator response

Ensure that you entered the command correctly. If the problem persists, save the system log and print the major node definition for problem determination.

System programmer response

Check the command description for restrictions on the use of operands.
  • If this message was the result of the activation of a major node that was already active, such as an NCP, the conflict is probably between an operand on the command and either:
    • An operand on a definition statement, or
    • An operand specified on the prior activation.
  • If the major node in question is not active, instruct the operator to simply reenter the command with corrected options.
  • If, however, the major node is already active and the conflict is between an operand specified on the new activation and the one used on a prior activation, you will need to deactivate the major node if the new operand is required, then reactivate it.
Note: Deactivating the major node will disrupt any active sessions that use the node.
