Re: Need help with msg IEE114I - solved
Richard, The variation of FTP could be AFTP and the desktop, by which I assume you mean a PC, product could be the AFTP client for whichever operating system the PC runs. However, AFTP would be spawning an AFTP server transaction program on the mainframe which would be an APPC/MVS address space and, if so, you will be able to find a transaction program profile for AFTP. I quote from the z/OS V1R2.0-V1R7.0 Communications Server APPC Application Suite Administration manual: quote 3.2.5 Task 5 - Add a Transaction Program Profile for the AFTP Server A transaction program (TP) profile must be added for the AFTP server (AFTPD). The TP profile defines AFTPD to APPC/MVS as a standard transaction program, and enables the APPC/MVS transaction scheduler to schedule the AFTPD transaction program when an inbound allocation request is received. /quote You'll be able to find this manual on the Communications Server bookshelf. Oh, I guess I should mention that there has to be SNA connectivity between the client and the server which could, I suppose, be Enterprise Extender or AnyNet SNA over IP or even be using DLSw if you thought the only protocol available between these users/programmers and the mainframe was IP.

We discovered something interesting. We did an FTP operation using our terminal emulator product (PASSPORT) instead of the PC-based FTP product, and we can see an address space of type ATX started. We stopped the test and then brought down APPC. We repeated the FTP test and it worked, which proves the APPC STC has nothing to do with the creation of this particular ATX address space. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Rick, V2R5 is pretty darn old (September 1998)! Maybe the last time you talked with us, that release was new! :-) I did check the listings and Display ATXs was definitely supported in V2R5. So, if you don't see it on your Entry Panel (just below Display TSUs), it means that your security person has deliberately disallowed you from seeing APPC work. (A silly thing to do IMHO. There's no particular exposure in allowing people to see APPC transactions.)

Re: Need help with msg IEE114I - solved
Richard, In answer to your earlier post saying you definitely had no transaction program profile for AFTP defined, I was going to mention that not all APPC/MVS server tasks needed to be started by the APPC/MVS scheduler using transaction program profiles. However, since we are taking here about an address space being mysteriously started, this isn't really relevant. Your latest test may well be definitive concerning the absence of APPC/MVS. The only thing that worries me slightly is that - as far as I remember APPC/MVS - the started task ASCH is the one responsible for scheduling address spaces. Now I'm getting way out of my depth. Nevertheless let me try something for sager heads to expand on perhaps. Maybe what is happening is that some program running in its own address space is spawning other address spaces using the same service that the program ASBSCHIN, the program in the APPC/MVS ASCH procedure, uses. Thus your suggestion that ATX needs expanding may be sort-of right. Maybe it is wrong to associate ATX exclusively with APPC/MVS, more precisely the transaction/address space scheduling performed by the ASCH procedure, and it should simply be associated with attached transaction program where this refers to the service which happens to be used by ASCH. Looking back though the thread - which I should have done before jumping in with the AFTP suggestion :-( , I see Rex Pommier is suggesting that UNIX does this for the FTP server - I guess this might be how the fork() call is implemented. Incidentally your post of Tues, Mar 7 2006 8:43 pm mentions using the NETSTAT command in order to check on the use of APPC/MVS. This just isn't the appropriate command. It is exclusively for the IP side of the Communications Server product and not the SNA side.
