Re: SMPE error in FROMNET
I was getting that error last week, starting around 4 PM MST on a Thursday. It continued until Tuesday. We slowly pieced together what our problem was, your results may vary. A combination of a DNS server change on our part and the domain registrar broadcasting some IP addresses for DNS servers that were retired years ago. Once we flushed the DNS cache on our servers, Tuesday, it magically started working again. During this time, inbound mail was arriving slowly, too. At first I suggested the IBM servers might be overwhelmed if everyone jumps to receive the RSU maintenance after we get notified it is available. A year ago we used to alternate which site we went to if it failed on one. We stopped having to do that six months ago.

I received similar errors yesterday myself, so I suggest this error may be transient and caused by the IBM FTP server and not by your z/OS system or network. Maybe. Try again today and see if the problem persists. Even so, there are options you can tweak in your FTP.DATA file that affect FTP connect time, etc. I don't remember the specific keywords, but you can find them in the Communications Server IP User's Guide. BTW, check out the FTPOPTIONS tag in your SMP/E CLIENT data set in case you want to override the default FTP.DATA file.

There is wait in the receive order command. The default is 120 minutes, but sometimes I have timed out so I always run with WAIT(300).
