IST380I
ERROR FOR ID = nodename — REQUEST: runame, SENSE: code

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when the request runame for the resource nodename failed.

code is the sense code and indicates the reason for the failure. See the z/OS Communications Server: IP and SNA Codes for a description of code.

runame is the name of the request that failed. See Command and RU types in VTAM messages for a description of runame.

System action

VTAM does not perform the request runame.

When VTAM receives a failing activation request for RUs such as ACTLINK, CONTACT, ACTLU, or ACTPU, VTAM usually deactivates the resource and all subordinate resources, regardless of whether the resource was being activated or deactivated.

Operator response

  • Attempt to activate or trace the node again.
  • If a failure still occurs, save the system log for problem determination.
  • If VTAM issues this message repeatedly, disable the line and save the system log for problem determination.
  • If code indicates a storage problem, wait a short time and reenter the command. If VTAM continues to issue this message, enter the DISPLAY BFRUSE command to display storage used by VTAM buffer pools and information about the common service area (CSA). Message IST981I displays total VTAM private storage information. Issue the DISPLAY STORUSE command to display storage usage for storage pools.

    Save the system log and request a dump for problem determination.

  • Sense Code 081Cnnnn

    Correct the cause indicated by the user portion of the sense code (nnnn), and try the command again.

    Note: Only some of the possible sense codes issued in this message are described here. For a complete description of the sense codes, see the z/OS Communications Server: IP and SNA Codes.

System programmer response

  • If code indicates a storage problem, increase storage as required. For insufficient storage errors, you might want to redefine your buffer pool or CSA start options. If the start option cannot be modified using the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command, you must modify the VTAM start options file (ATCSTRxx) and restart VTAM to use the start option.
  • Sense Code 081Cnnnn

    If an ACTLINK request failed on a VARY ACT request with the sense code of 081Cnnnn, check the CUADDR operand of the PU (local SNA) or PCCU definition statement to make sure that the correct device address was specified for the node nodename.

    If sense code 081C0010 is received and message IST1386I is issued, see the return code and reason code in message IST1386I to determine the cause of the failure.

  • Sense Code 08A30001

    If VTAM issues sense code 08A30001 repeatedly, determine the subarea node that is attempting to establish a switched connection. If the SSCP is authorized to request that connection, verify that both SSCPs have identical PRTCT operands coded for their PU statements on the switched major nodes. Also verify that both nodes and their SSCPs are of a level that supports call security verification.

    VTAM might issue this message with sense code 08A30001 because an unauthorized subarea node is attempting to establish a switched connection to the host that received the message.

  • You might need to include the LUDRPOOL macro in the NCP generation.
  • Make sure that the device is available to the system and that there are no hardware problems.
