Clearing unreachable partner information

z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide
SC27-3672-01

After the underlying problems with the Enterprise Extender connection network paths are corrected, you can clear the unreachable partner information to make these paths available for route selection before the unreachable time value would automatically expire. The MODIFY TOPO,FUNCTION=CLRUNRCH command can be entered on a network node to clear a set of unreachable partner paths for Enterprise Extender connection networks, making those paths available for route calculation (if they were previously unavailable for route calculation as a result of unreachable partner information).

Use the SCOPE=LOCAL operand to clear the unreachable partner paths from only the network node on which the command is entered. Use the SCOPE=NETWORK operand to clear the unreachable partner paths from all network nodes in the network. (Remember that topology flows do not occur across network boundaries.)

If a problem is corrected with only one of multiple paths associated with the EE connection network and you clear the unreachable partner information for more than just that one path, the first attempt to establish a new session over a path that is still unreachable (or the first time an HPR path is switched to a path that is still unreachable) has the following results:
  • The new session or HPR path switch will fail
  • New unreachable path information will be created for the unavailable path
