Vince, Thanks for letting me know about using a FICON CTC...the problem was when we ordered the z13s we didn't order enough FICON adapters...guess our research was not through enough.
As far as where the problem actually is...I believe it is the network to but I'm losing that battle and it is because my boss is a networking guy who supports the networking team over the mainframe team. I can PING from z/VM to z/OS and vice versa successfully and I have done a telnet from z/OS to z/VM successfully. I'm not familiar with ICMP and/or TRACERTE so I will have to do research on how to check/execute them. When I start NETSRV1 it says it is active in ASID=004D as NAME=JES2S001 and yes the JES line is started, however I get an error when starting the socket and the error is... IAZ0545I NETSRV1 Error encountered in function connect() - EDC8128I Connection refused. IAZ0543I NETSRV1 TCP/IP connection with IP Addr: 10.100.5.73 Port: 175 ended due to TCP/IP error, rc: 1128 Thanks, Ron McCabe Mutual of Enumclaw -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Vince Getgood Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2019 1:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: How can I get reports in the Output Queue in SDSF to print Ron, AFAIK, you are correct regarding a virtual CTC, but you can still define a real FICON CTC - I think I'm correct in saying you just need one spare FICON port, unlike ESCON, where you needed two, and a cable between them. Assuming nothing has changed on the mainframe, and you are running JES2, this definitely sounds like a network issue. I'm sure IBM will help, but, in the meantime... Basics first. Can you ping z/VM from z/OS and vice versa? Of course ICMP might be blocked, so you could also try TRACERTE ipaddress from both systems. Maybe also try TELNET, just to prove both systems can see each other. Is your JES NETSRV address space up (something like JES2S001)? Is the JES line started? What happens when you issue $SN,N=your z/VM node number (or possibly $SN,SOCKET=your z/VM socket number) on the z/OS system? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Confidentiality Notice: This e- mail and all attachments may contain CONFIDENTIAL information and are meant solely for the intended recipient.
