DFHZC0177 date time applid Connection sysid has created an affinity between this application, which is a member of generic resource grname, and a remote LU with netid netid netname netname.

Explanation

A generic resource member has established an APPC synclevel 2, APPC limited resource, or LU6.1 connection with another LU. For connections of these types VTAM creates affinities which are owned by CICS and have to be ended by the CICS operator using the SET CONNECTION ENDAFFINITY or PERFORM ENDAFFINITY command. The message is output whenever the connection is acquired but the affinity is not recreated for each acquire unless it has been ended in the meantime.

System action

Processing continues.

User response

None, but note that the affinity has to be ended before the partner LU can establish a connection with another generic resource member.

The affinity may be ended automatically by the connection quiesce transaction when the connection is released. However, it is not done if the system crashes or is shut down 'immediate' whilst the connection is still acquired.
