EZD1824E

Explanation
 The Communication Server SMTP (CSSMTP) application
cannot communicate with a  TCP/IP stack.   This message might be issued
during CSSMTP initialization or  during mail processing. 
 There
are four possible causes of this error: -p  tcpStack
The start option stack is not available.
_BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT  tcpStack
The environment variable stack is not  available.
No TCP/IP affinity
No stack is available.
EZB.STACKACCESS
Stack security settings prevent communication with a stack.

 See the information about starting the CSSMTP application in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference for information about stack  affinity. 
 In
the message text:  jobname
The job name of the task that started the CSSMTP application.

System action
 CSSMTP initialization or mail processing does
not complete and CSSMTP periodically tries to communicate with a stack.
   This message will clear after CSSMTP  connects to the TCP/IP stack.

Operator response
 Save the log file and contact the system
programmer.

System programmer response
 Examine the log file to help determine
the cause of the problem and which stack needs to be started.  Based
on the following, take the necessary corrective  action:  If you are using the -p start option,
then verify that the specified stack is started.
If you are using the _BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT environment variable,
then verify that the stack  configured on the environment variable
is started.
If you are not using TCP/IP affinity, then verify that a stack
is available.
If you are restricting stack access by using the SERVAUTH class
resource EZB.STACKACCESS then verify that the CSSMTP application has
authority to access to the resource. 

 If you need more information during mail processing
time to diagnose the  warnings, issue MODIFY LOGLEVEL,LEVEL=79 to
increase the log level.    Check the  application trace log for failures
when performing the TCP/IP socket()  function. The inability to obtain
a socket blocks communication between the application and the TCP/IP
stack.  

User response
 Not applicable.

Problem determination
 None.

Automation
 This message is written to the system console and
log file for CSSMTP.  This message is a good candidate for automation.
Automation can alert you to when CSSMTP cannot  communicate with a
stack.
