Gerrit, 1. when you do the makesite, does it create the TCPIP.HOSTS.SITEINFO, or does it create BAKKERG.HOSTS.SITEINFO, if the latter, then you need to delete/rename the current TCPIP.HOSTS.SITEINFO. The same with ADDRINFO.
2. I have found this site with a few pointers, although I suspect you have done all of them... http://www.iona.com/support/kb/entry!default.jspa?categoryID=3&externalI D=3281.32&fromSearchPage=true Regards Herbie -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gerrit Bakker Sent: 28 Februarie 2008 01:14 nm To: [email protected] Subject: TCPIP local hosts table not found I have a problem getting a local hosts table being used . I generated a local host table with the MAKESITE command. It generated datasets TCPIP.HOSTS.xxxxINFO datasets. Settings in TCPDATA (member): DATASETPREFIX=TCPIP LOOKUP DNS LOCAL When in TSO I try to PING a hostname only known in the local hosts table I get "unknown host" Using the TESTSITE command the name is resolved. I put on TRACE RESOLVER in TCPDATA. The trace output tells me: res_init Resolver values: Global Tcp/Ip Dataset = None Default Tcp/Ip Dataset = None Local Tcp/Ip Dataset = SYS1.TCPPARMS(TCPDATA) Translation Table = TCPIP.STANDARD.TCPXLBIN UserId/JobName = BAKKERG Caller API = TCP/IP Sockets Extended Caller Mode = EBCDIC (L) DataSetPrefix = TCPIP (L) HostName = XAT3 (L) TcpIpJobName = TCPIP (L) DomainOrigin = rf.rabobank.nl (L) NameServer = xxx.xx.xxx.10 xxx.xx.xxx.11 xxx.xx.xxx.10 xxx.xx.xxx.11 (*) NsPortAddr = 53 (L) ResolverTimeout = 5 (L) ResolveVia = UDP (L) ResolverUdpRetries = 1 (*) Options NDots = 1 (L) Trace Resolver (*) SockNoTestStor (*) AlwaysWto = NO (L) MessageCase = MIXED (L) LookUp = DNS LOCAL After it tries to resolve the name through the DNS's there is the nessage: GetAddrInfo Searching Local Tables for IPv4 Address Unable to find any local host table I must be missing something simple. Any idea's what I am doing wrong ?
