command FAILED, resourcename IS NOT A {CP|EN|NN}

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message in response to a MODIFY DIRECTRY,UPDATE command for one of the following reasons:
  • The MODIFY DIRECTRY,UPDATE command included the operand CPNAME=resourcename which attempted to specify resourcename as a CP (control point). resourcename is not identified as a CP in the APPN directory.
  • The MODIFY DIRECTRY,UPDATE command included the operands CPNAME=resourcename and NETSRVR=name which indicates that resourcename is a EN (end node). resourcename is not identified as a EN in the APPN directory.
  • The MODIFY DIRECTRY,UPDATE command included the operand NETSRVR=resourcename which attempted to specify resourcename as a NN (network node). resourcename is not identified as a NN in the APPN directory.

command is always F DIRECTRY which refers to the MODIFY DIRECTRY,UPDATE command.

resourcename is the network-qualified name specified on either the CPNAME operand or the NETSRVR operand, in the form netid.name.

System action

VTAM ignores the MODIFY DIRECTRY,UPDATE command. Other processing continues.

Operator response

Verify that resourcename is spelled correctly, and reenter the command.

Issue the DISPLAY ID command to verify the current type of resourcename. If resourcename is expected to be either a control point or a network node, save the system log for problem determination.

System programmer response

You can change the type of resourcename in the APPN directory with the following actions:
  • Enter the MODIFY DIRECTRY,DELETE,ID=resourcename command.
  • Change the type of the resourcename specified in the definition list and activate the list.
  • Reenter the MODIFY DIRECTRY,UPDATE command with either the CPNAME or NETSRVR operand, depending upon the desired result.
