- OS2 COMMUNCATION MANAGER PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS 3270 PERCOM
- END OF ABSTRACT FESN5NFO000-000
- REPORTED RELEASE R001
- ERROR DESCRIPTION:
- DEBUGGING TIPS FOR FILE TRANSFER TO A VSE HOST FROM ANY
- IBM OR OEM 3270 EMULATOR FOR THE PC INCLUDING:
- PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS 3270 (PERCOM)
- PC3270 EMULATION PROGRAM, ENTRY LEVEL
- OS2 COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
- HCON RS6000
- 1) What release of VSE are you running?
- If the customer is not sure tell them to use
- LIBRARIAN to list SPLEVEL.PROC in IJSYSRS.SYSLIB
- This is a list of the current releases:
- 566634500 B72 VSE/SP Unique 3.1.X, 3.2.2, 3.2.3
- 568600600 C72 VSE/SP Unique 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.4
- 568602801 F10 VSE/SP Unique VSE ESA 1.1.X, 1.2.2, 1.2.3
-
- VSE file transfer is not called IND$FILE. It is shipped
- with the above package component id and it consists of
- a phase called INWPCCOM. Some customers refer to the VSE
- file transfer function as IWS (Intelligent Workstation
- Support), or IUI file transfer. They may also refer to it
- as CICS file transfer, but if they are running VSE then
- they are using INWPCCOM and VSE supplied transactions
- IND$ or INW7. Both of these transactions will invoke
- INWPCCOM.
- 2) What messages are received on the PC side?
- 3) What messages are received on the Host side?
- 4) Is the VSE release the most current one available?
- The most current VSE releases are 3.2.3, 4.1.4, ESA 1.2.3.
- Even if the release is current there may be some outstanding
- apars. Search on the symtoms in the PA library for VSE
- apars. For more messages or symptoms ask the customer to
- recreate the error and then display the bottom of the
- INSPECT MESSAGE LOG DIALOG.
- If any VSE apars are required PLEASE have someone from the
- VSE level2 group order the apar as there are special
- ordering procedures.
- 5) Do both the SEND and RECEIVE fail?
- 6) What is the exact SEND or RECEIVE command that was entered
- including any options.
- For example:
- SEND PC.FIL FILENAME (FILE=HTF ASCII CRLF REPLACE
- RECEIVE PC.FIL (FILE=LST KEEP
- 7) Where is the send or receive directed to or from?
- File transfer can be performed to or from:
-
- VSE Host Transfer File (HTF)
- This file is a large VSAM file that contains seperate
- entries for each file that a user sends to it. The entries
- are connected to a directory within the HTF for that
- user. VSE provides dialogs to move the files from this
- large HTF to other VSAM files or ICCF members.
-
- CICS Temporary Storage
- A CICS appication can then manipulate the TS queue.
-
- VSE/POWER queues
- A file can be sent or received from the POWER LIST
- queue (output from HOST jobs).
- A file containing a VSE job can be sent to the POWER
- RDR queue.
- A file can be received from the POWER PUNCH queue.
- 8) How is the PC attached to the HOST?
- 9) If attached through a 3174, hardware configuration question
- 125 bit 6, File Transfer aid must be set on.
- The 9370 Workstation adaptors also have a file transfer aid
- bit and this will not be turned on if all defaults are taken.
- If this bit is not on the VTAM buffer trace will show empty
- buffers and a TRANS10 will be issued at the PC.
- Customers may need assistance from their CE to set this bit
- on.
- 10)Is EXTDS defined in the CICS terminal definition? If it is
- not on, this can cause the file transfer to hang and a
- TRANS10 will be issued by the emulator on the PC side.
- 11)Examine a trace, either VTAM BUFFER, SIO/IO, or the
- trace provided by the emulator and make sure that
- the emulator is following proper protocol for the
- mode that the PC is configured in (CUT or DFT).
- 12)Here is a list of VSE apars that may be applicable
- depending on the symptoms. Please have someone from
- VSE level2 order the apars if necessary as there are
- special ordering procedures:

-
- 13)DOCUMENTATION NEEDED TO PURSUE FAILURES:
- ===============================================================
- One of the following traces will be required to determine if
- the error is being caused by the VSE software of the emulator.
- For abends in VSE code a CICS AUX trace may also be required.
- IWS TRACE:
- ---------
- This is available as an option on the SEND/RECEIVE command
- after VSE/SP 3.2.0. It is documented in the VSE Guide For
- Solving Problems.
-
- VTAM BUFFER TRACE:
- -----------------
- The VTAM buffer trace can be started and stopped by entering
- the following commands at the VSE system console:
- 'F NET,TRACE,TYPE=BUF,ID=TERMID'
- 'F NET,NOTRACE,TYPE=BUF,ID=TERMID'
- For TERMID use the entire VTAM NETNAME. Use TPRINT to print
- the trace. The following messages will be issued:
- IST907A - SNAPSHOT MODE TPRINT ENTER Y OR N
- Reply 'NO' to this message.
- IST905A - ENTER TRACE PRINT OPTIONS OR 'CANCEL'
- Reply 'PRINT BUF=ALL'
-
- SDAIDS SIO/IO TRACE WITH CCWD:
- -----------------------------
- This job will set up the SDAIDS trace:
- // JOB SDAID
- // EXEC SDAID
- OUTDEV T=tcuu
- TRACE SIO AR=Fn UN=cuu OUTP=(TOD CCWD=2000)
- TRACE IO AR=Fn UN=cuu OUTP=(TOD CCWD=2000)
- /*
- /&
- Fn is the CICS/ICCF partition. tcuu=tape device for trace out
- UN=cuu is the line, terminal, or controller being traced.
- If controller is being traced be sure to reduce the traffic.
- Submit the above job. Enter STRTSD. Recreate the error.
- Enter STOPSD then ENDSD. Use DOSVSDMP to print the trace.
-
- ============================================================
- COMMON USER ERRORS, CONFIGURATION ERRORS, OR EMULATOR PROBLEMS
- =============================================================
- A) MSGINW0002I from a module name ending with '0' and
- customer indicates the PC is connected in DFT Mode.
- This is a generation and tailoring error, the module
- names ending in '0' are used in CUT (Control Unit Terminal)
- Mode. The customer needs to make certain that the PC,
- controller, VTAM tables, and the CICS terminal entries are
- configured for EXTENDED DATA STREAMING when using the PC as
- a DFT (Distributed Function Terminal).
- B) MSGINW0002I with RC=0001 and the error description for
- the affected module is 'INVALID REPLY (NO AID ENTER)'.
- This means the response buffer did not begin with X'7D'
- (7D is the 3270 AID byte for an Enter Key).
- This message will also be issued if the user tries to
- toggle back to the host or if they use Ctrl-Break to break a
- hang before file transfer is complete. The Ctrl-Break will
- send in data that will not begin with x'7D'. The reason for
- the hang should be investigated.
- C) FILE TRANSFER AID BIT PROBLEMS: MSGINW0002I TRANS10 HANGS
- MSGINW0002I TRANS10 hangs can occur if the 3174 Control Unit
- Hardware configuration Question #125 bit 6, 'FILE TRANSFER
- AID', is not set on. Without this bit turned on a RECEIVE
- will work but SEND will fail. A VTAM Buffer Trace will show
- empty data buffers.
-
- 9370 Work Station Adaptors can have the same problem if
- all defaults are taken.
-
- Hardware configuration Question #125 also applies to
- D/T9221. See 'Planning For Your Workstation Subsystem.'
-
- MSGINW002I TRANS10 HANG
- This particular customer was running VSE/SP 4.1.x, EE
- (Entry Emulator) 1.1,1.2,2.0 on a PS/2 and attached through
- a 3299 multiplexer which also contains a 6120 or 6020 WSA.
- This could probably happen with any version of VSE and hangs
- could occur with any emulator but with EE the RECEIVES would
- work but sends fail. The file was actually transferred on
- the SEND but the session would hang at the end and multiple
- TRANS10's were issued. This problem is described in APAR
- IR87131. The FILE TRANSFER AID BIT needs to be set in the
- Work Station Adaptor. See PLANNING FOR YOUR WORKSTATION
- SUBSYSTEM GA24-4223 p.2-9. This customer's CE also found
- that the WORKSTATION CONTROLLER FEATURE 6120 card in the
- 9370 expansion cage in the 9221 system was not properly
- configured to operate with 3270 emulation. It must be
- set to communicate with a 3174 not a 3274.
-
- D) 3274 CONTROL UNIT - Customer was experiencing a file transfer
- hang at the same exact byte count every time. The problem
- was intermittent and occurred mostly with larger files.
- SOLUTION: Hardware Configuration Question #164 PS TERMINAL
- BIT must be turned off to work correctly.
-
- E) HANG WAIT or HUNG condition on PS/2 using 4300 ICA and
- the 3270 Emulation Version 3 Control Program caused by
- not having EXTDS, Extended Data Streaming in the TCT and
- VTAM was not configured for DFT Mode.
- F) FTTERM CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS:
- MSGTRANS10 TIMEOUT on PC running FTTERM with a D/T3174 AEA.
- If the 3174 AEA ports are configured as either
- FC (FTERM COLOR) or FM (FTTERM MONO)
- then answer '1' to 'USE SPECIFIC KEYBOARD MAP (1=YES 0=NO)
- prompt on the FTTERM configuration. See the 3174 Terminal
- User's Reference. There was not IND$FILE coming in from
- the emulator on the PC.
-
- G) ABENDAICA AICA USER EXIT ROUTINE.
- If a user tries to expand a record in their user exit
- routine they have to do a GETMAIN and more the record
- before they expand it. See SP/Administration Manual
- SC33-6306-00, Page 248, Your Exit Routine Should Perform
- The Following Steps: STEP 4.
- H) When RECEIVE is used from PS/2 TRANS10 TIMEOUT
- 0 BYTES RECEIVED and when you Hotkey back to the host
- and hit Enter Key, MSGINW0002I INWPRCVE RC1 is
- issued. The TRANS10 was due to not having EXTDS coded.
- The INW0002I INWPRCVE RC1 was due to Hotkeying back to the
- and hitting the Enter Key. The problem is resolved by
- coding EXTDS in the TCT.
- I) HANG OR MSGINW0002I INWPGET1 RC=0002 when using PERCOM
- Personal Communications 3270 V2 under Windows. The
- customer signed on to the IUI and used PF6 to get into
- native CICS. They opened a window and sent a file to the
- host. They received MSGINW0001I File Transfer Complete at
- the PC but it did not show up on the host screen as it does
- in DOS Mode. They hit enter or PF3 on the host session and
- INW0002I INWPGET1 RC=0002 was issued. The RC2 means that no
- acknowledgement was received from the PC. The trace showed
- normal DFT protocol flow up until the host sent out the
- Insert Request + Data (msg) and then the PC never responded
- with an Insert Data acknowledgement positive. The customer
- found that by increasing the TIMEOUT option from 30 to 60
- on the windows panel the INW0001I would appear at the host
- ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS AND COMPONENT IDS:
