The only possible link here is that during initialization MXI 4.3 does a EZASMI 
call to get the local TCP/IP host and ipaddr.

I think the most likely thing is that MXI is a victim or innocent bystander to 
a pre-existing issue that affects OMVS or TCPIP.

By the way, all those MXI commands you quoted exist in SDSF.

Subject: Re: MXI for zOS 3.1

EXTERNAL EMAIL




Hello Rob

I have deployed RSU2601 on zos 3.1.

Whenever I am trying to use MXI features like APF, LNK, LPA,LPD .Post that
when I come out of the MXI panel and try to use TSO NETSTAT or TSO OMVS , I
receive

CEE5101C DURING INITIALIZATION, the callable service BPX1MSS failed. The
System return code was 0000000156, the reason code was 0D070200. finally it
ends with U4093 Reason code 90


This error message comes up immediately after I exit from MXI panel.

Not sure if MXI is causing this but I have opened a case and still IBM has
not found the offending module yet.

Not sure what SLIP traps would help in this scenario

I have a valid OMVS UID, GID. Infact we never got this error prior to
RSU2601 within zos 3.1 but not sure what changed.

Definition wise all the privileges my racf ID has, but only the difference
what I see is RSU2601 which was rolled out and post that we are seeing this
behaviour



Any pointers are much appreciated

Regards
Peter
