DFHZC6987 W date time applid Autoinstall best failure for NETNAME netname was model model.

Explanation

An autoinstall attempt has failed for lack of an exact match.

netname is the netname of the LU which failed to logon,

model is the name of the model that gave the best failure (that is, the one that had the fewest bits different from the BIND image supplied by VTAM).

The following associated information is also written to CADL:

  • xxxxxxxx... is a string of hexadecimal digits, where xx represents one byte, and each byte position represents the corresponding byte position in the BIND image.
  • CINIT BIND: xxxxxxxx is the bind image supplied by VTAM.
  • MODEL BIND: xxxxxxxx is the best model.
  • MISMATCH BITS: xxxxxxxx represents a comparison of the relevant bits from above. A bit set to '1' indicates a mismatch in that position between the BIND image from VTAM and the BIND image associated with the model.

User response

  1. Determine whether the model model is suitable. If there are several models which have options, such as TRANSECKEYS, then only the first such model is named in the above message. It will be up to the user-program to make the choice, when the logmode table entry is corrected.

  2. Identify the entry in the VTAM logmode table that is being used.

  3. Check that this logmode table entry is not successfully in use with other applications, so that to change it might cause this other use of it to fail.

  4. Amend the logmode table entry by switching the bits corresponding to '1' bits in the mismatch string. That is, if the bit in the VTAM bind image corresponding to the bit position set to '1' in xxxxxxxx... is '1', set it to '0'. If it is '0', set it to '1'.

For further information, refer to the Developing system programs.

More on the meaning of the various bits in a bind image may be found in z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programming manual, (SC27-0611).

Details of the preparation of VTAM logmode table entries are given in z/OS Communications Server: SNA Resource Definition Reference manual, (SC27-0613).
