z/OS Communications Server: IP Messages Volume 3 (EZY)
SC27-3656-00

Terminating: one task is already active.

Explanation

To prevent the initiation of multiple TCPIP address spaces for the same task, the MVS™ platform code uses the ENQ macro to serialize the use of TCPIP resources. At task initialization, MVPMAIN issues an ENQ macro with a resource name of TCPIPSYS.task_name, requesting exclusive use. The message indicates that the ENQ failed.

System action

The task is terminated and control is returned to the system with a task completion code of 9xx, with the xx portion reflecting the ENQ return code.

Operator response

If the error was an unintentional attempt to start a TCPIP task that was already active, no actions are required. Otherwise, tell the system programmer about the error.

System programmer response

If the error was not because of an unintentional attempt to start a duplicate TCPIP task, examine the task completion code provided when the task was terminated. It will be of the form 9xx, with the xx portion of the code being the ENQ return code. See the appropriate Application Development Reference: Services for Assembler Language Programs publication for information about interpreting the return code. Follow the recommended problem resolution procedures indicated by the appropriate MVS Diagnosis book.
Note: The ENQ was issued with the RET=USE parameter.

If problem determination indicates that the MVS platform is in error, gather all available documentation and report the error to the IBM® Software Support Center.
