IST530I
runame PENDING FROM fromnetid TO tonetid FOR fornodename

Explanation

This message is the first in a group of messages that VTAM® issues when the request unit (RU) runame has been pending on the resource fornodename for a period of time without receipt of a corresponding response unit. A complete description of the message group follows.
 IST530I  runame PENDING FROM fromnetid TO tonetid FOR fornodename
[IST531I  FROM SUBAREA = subarea, ELEMENT = element]
[IST531I  TO SUBAREA = subarea, ELEMENT = element]
 IST1051I EVENT CODE = code
 IST1062I EVENT ID = eventid
Note: If runame remains outstanding for subsequent intervals, these messages will be repeated at such intervals until runame is received or until the request unit is purged.
IST530I
  • runame is the request unit (RU) that is pending. See Command and RU types in VTAM messages for a description of runame.
  • The origin and destination of runame are identified by one of the following:
    • Network names (fromnetid and tonetid) as displayed in this message.
    • Network addresses (subarea number subarea and element number element) as displayed in message IST531I.
IST531I
  • VTAM will not issue this message if both FROM network name fromnetid and TO network name tonetid are displayed in this message.
  • VTAM will display this message once if one of the network names is unknown and twice if both of the network names are unknown.
  • If the subarea and element addresses are unknown, VTAM issues either 0 or *NA* in place of the address.

System action

Processing continues, awaiting the corresponding response unit.

Operator response

This message group indicates that a problem might exist. The longer an RU remains outstanding (that is, the more often these messages reappear for the same RU), the more probable it is that a problem exists.

If a particular RU remains outstanding for an extended period of time, display the node for which the I/O is pending, and save the system log for problem determination.

If runame is CHAR CODED, this message group indicates that VTAM sent a USSMSG to the LU and is waiting for a response. To correct the situation, enter a VARY INACT command for the resource fornodename and then enter a VARY ACT for the same resource.

You can use the MODIFY IOPD command to change the time-out interval controlling the display of this message. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for additional information.

System programmer response

See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Diagnosis Vol 1, Techniques and Procedures for corrective actions for the common problems.
  • If runame is CD DSEARCH, this message group might indicate one of the following problems:
    • A low IOINT value and no ADJSSCP table values were coded.
    • The DYNASSCP start option and the ADJSSCP table are not properly tuned.
  • If runame is CHAR CODED, this message group indicates that VTAM sent a USSMSG to the LU and is waiting for a response. This is usually a device problem. A frequent cause of this error is when a user powers off the terminal without logging off first. To correct the situation, enter a VARY INACT command for the resource fornodename and then enter a VARY ACT for the same resource.
  • If runame is GUNBIND and the message is received at log off time in a cross domain environment, this message group indicates that one of the following probably occurred:
    • The application did not issue a CLSDST macro.
    • The device sent an incorrect response or no response to the UNBIND RU.
  • If runame is NMVT, this message group might indicate that the device is not real-time-monitor-capable. This means that the device did not process the response and return the requested information properly to the NetView® program for most devices, or to the RS/6000® network management program for RS/6000 devices. A microcode change is needed to permanently resolve this problem.

See the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Diagnosis Vol 1, Techniques and Procedures for information on the wait procedure.
