Entering WSCON caused a panel to popup to enter a few items to "Initiate Workstation Connection" specifically a TCP/IP address. I guessed at this based on what I found in the Attachmate's option item "Connection" Here is the error I received;
Unable to communicate with ISPF workstation agent at specified network address. Probable causes: (1) the workstation agent is not active at the specified network address; (2) the APPC transaction program names or TCP/IP port numbers specified are not identical on the host and on the workstation. Network data:'TCP/IP CONNECT RC=49 '. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Dave Salt Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 2:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Attachmate Extra! and upload to PDS from PC I can send you the file that you would download from 'ISP.SISPGUI' as an email attachment. But before I do, try entering 'WSCON' on an ISPF panel and enter the fields and press ENTER. Obviously you won't get a workstation connection without the WSA being installed on your PC, and this means your mainframe session will probably hang for about 5 minutes while it keeps trying to connect. At the end of the 5 minutes it should display an error message. If you see this then it looks promising that once you have the WSA installed on your PC then everything should work. But if instead you see a whole bunch of error messages appear on the mainframe as soon as you press ENTER on the WSCON panel, then this means something hasn't been enabled on your mainframe and you probably won't be able to use the WSA even if I send it to you. Let me know...
