Hello,
We are trying to make SNA connectivity between CICS region on
z/OS 1.13 system using Bean connect and IBM communication controller
sitting on AIX system .
For doing this connectivity, we did below setup but somehow this
connectivity not working.
1) I created OSE type of chipid and connected 30 devices with type OSA
using control unit. I have used OSE CHPID MAC address in AIX box for this
connection.
2) I created XCA major node definition and used CUADDR= first device
number from above created 30 devices.
OSA120MJ VBUILD TYPE=XCA EXT COMM ADAPTER MAJOR NODE
OSA120PT PORT MEDIUM=CSMACD, CSMA/CD 802.3 LAN +
ADAPNO=0, FIRST OSA ETHERNET PORT +
CUADDR=1200, CHANNEL UNIT ADDRESS +
TIMER=60, WAIT 60 SECS AFTER CHANNEL ACTIVATED +
SAPADDR=4 SERVICE ACCESS POINT ADDRESS
OSA120G1 GROUP DIAL=YES, LINES IN GROUP NEED SWITCHED PROT +
ANSWER=ON, PUS CAN DIAL TO VTAM WHEN LINE ACT +
AUTOGEN=(12,L,P), AUTO CREATE 12 LINES +
CALL=INOUT, INCOMING AND OUTGOING CALLS +
ISTATUS=ACTIVE LINE ACTIVE WHEN MAJ NODE ACTIVE
3) I also created switched major node and in this I have used IDBLK and
IDNUM from the node_id = <05d12138> parameter in AIX system IBM
communication controller config file

ABD1A4 LU LOCADDR=14,USSTAB=USSNOMSG DEPENDENT LU FOR APPC
3) We have CICS region name CICSB and below are VTAM defination
APPLCIC2 VBUILD TYPE=APPL
CICSB APPL ACBNAME=CICSB, NAME USED TO CONNECT TO VTAM X
AUTH=(ACQ,VPACE,PASS), ACQUIRE AND PASS DEVICES X
EAS=31, ESTIMATED NUMBER OF SESSIONS X
MODETAB=MODECICV, MODETABLE USED IF WE ARE SLU X
DLOGMOD=CICVLU62, DLOGMOD USED IF WE ARE SLU X
PARSESS=YES, MULTIPLE SESS WITH OTHER APPL X
SONSCIP=YES, USE SCIP EXIT IF WE ARE PLU X
APPC=NO, X
VPACING=5 VPACE TRAFFIC IF WE ARE SLU
4) When I used to activate XCA and switched major node, I get below
messages and successfully gets activated.
V NET,ACT,ID=XCA1200,SCOPE=ALL ----- XCA major node
IST097I VARY ACCEPTED
IST093I XCA1200 ACTIVE
IST1023E START I/O TIMEOUT OCCURRED FOR CUA=1200
V NET,ACT,ID=SNABD,SCOPE=ALL --- Switch MAJOR NODE
IST097I VARY ACCEPTED
IST093I ABD1 ACTIVE
IST093I SNABD ACTIVE
4) But by looking more into IBM manual, I have changed CPCP parameter in
VTAM from LEASED to YES using MODFIY command for this connection.
5) Now, when I m activating XCA major node, it gets activated with below
message
V NET,ACT,ID=XCA1200,SCOPE=ALL ----- XCA major node
IST097I VARY ACCEPTED
IST093I XCA1200 ACTIVE
IST1023E START I/O TIMEOUT OCCURRED FOR CUA=1200
V NET,ACT,ID=SNABD,SCOPE=ALL --- Switch MAJOR NODE
IST097I VARY ACCEPTED
IST093I ABD1 ACTIVE
IST093I SNABD ACTIVE
IST093I SNENG ACTIVE

IST380I ERROR FOR ID = L120000B - REQUEST: ACTLINK, SENSE: 081C0000
I tried investigating this issue using below link but not able to find
solution.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21160618
6) From AIX side, we when I am trying for this connection, I am getting
below error.
Link activation failed - adjacent link station *TST01* is not
responding.
Adjacent station: MAC address = 00135ER7FA43 ( 00287AAB5LXC), SAP
address = 04
Local station: MAC address = 0014C5D839B6 ( 00A7A3156C45), SAP
address = 04
7) I also added below config in IBM Communication controller config file in
AIX to match with switched major node definition. I also used correct NETID
and SSCPNAME parameter in config file.
[define_node]
cp_alias = ABD1
fqcp_name = TIMBA.ABD1
Add a local LU definition to the Communication Server UNIX:
[define_local_lu]
lu_alias = ABD101
list_name = ""
description = ""
lu_name = ABD101
7) I also tried making connection from Mainframe to AIX box using ACT,PU
command that it successfully activated. But still this required connection
is not working.
8) I am not sure, If I really need to implement OSA/SF also to make this
connection work. I feel this is optional feature not necessary to configure
at this stage.
9) I also tried CPCP display command, but I don't see this connection .
Please provide hint to resolve this issue
