SYMPTOMS
While attempting to activate an independent LU6.2 session with a host system to support a conversation between APPC or CPIC applications, the host rejects the SNA Server BIND attempt with sense code 0877000E, causing the following error to be logged by SNA Server:
According to the IBM SNA Formats Guide (IBM document GA27-3136), this sense code indicates the following error:
This error may occur under various configuration problems as described in the MORE INFORMATION section.
MORE INFORMATION
The following configuration settings should be confirmed within the host or router configuration:
- Confirm VTAM PU definitions for PUTYPE and XID.
When connecting over a non-switched line, such as an SDLC leased line, the PU definition in VTAM must have the following entries to support independent LU6.2 sessions:PUTYPE=2
XID=YES - Confirm the Local APPC LU network name.
Within VTAM, the PU definition may contain a "NETID" parameter, which must match the Local APPC LU network name in the SNA Server configuration:NETID=<network name>
- Confirm the Local APPC LU name.
Within VTAM, the LU macro name must match the Local APPC LU name. Also, the LOCADDR parameter must be set to "0" for independent LU 6.2 LU's. In addition, when connecting to CICS, the CICS "Netaddr" parameter within the CICS region definition must also match this same VTAM LU name. - When connecting over an SDLC leased line through a Cisco synchronous router connected via frame relay to the host:
The port settings in the Cisco synchronous router must be configured to support a PU2.1 capable device attached via the SDLC leased line. To support PU2.1 and independent LU6.2, Format 3 SNA XID's must be used during link connection establishment. If the Cisco port is not configured to support a PU2.1 capable device, it may indicate a Format 0 XID to the host system during connection startup, preventing the use of independent LU6.2 sessions. At the time this article was written, the specific Cisco configuration setting was still being researched. This article will be updated with this information once the information is confirmed.
