  40. |    then verifying the changed .NDF file via CMVERIFY.                         
  41. |    See Chapter 1 Communications Manager Features under                        
  42. |    Communications Manager Configuration Methods                               
  43. |    in the Network Administration and Subsystem Management

  46. |    The APPNV.CTL file in the CMLIB sub-directory also shows                   
  47. |    the syntax for these verbs.                                                
  48. |                                                                               
  49. | 3. 04/16/93 Why are my Alerts not getting to NetView?                         
  50. |                                                                               
  51. |  a. Verify in error log that Alert (type 0017-00000002) is                    
  52. |     received correctly by Communications Manager/2.                           
  53. |     Check for correct Alert formatting of subvectors.                         
  54. |     Alert dump formatter (EPWALERT.DMP) may help.                             
  55. |  b. Use PMDSPLAY to display FP status for Alert                               
  56. |     if FP status = ACTIVE, check that                                         
  57. |     EPWROUT is started and set properly (EPWROUT 1).                          
  58. |     Then start a Communications Manager/2 Trace                               
  59. |     to insure Alert is sent.                                                  
  60. |     Check for NetView filters that keep Alert from                            
  61. |     being displayed, See NetView Operation book--DFILTER                      
  62. |     to display, SRFILTER to set.                                              
  63. |                                                                               
  64. |  c. If FP status is INACTIVE &                                                
  65. |     If using SSCP-PU session (NMVT Alerts),                                   
  66. |     DEFINE_LOCAL_CP host_fp_support must be (YES)                             
  67. |     AND SSCP-PU session must be active                                        
  68. |                                                                               
  69. |  d. If FP status is INACTIVE &                                                
  70. |     If using LU 6.2 session (MDS-MU Alerts) then                              
  71. |     check one of the following 3 items:                                       
  72. |     1. FOCALPT CHANGE FPCAT=ALERT TARGET=cpname must be                       
  73. |        issued and accepted at NetView. If not accepted,                       
  74. |        check that links are active and that NetView                           
  75. |        LU or implicit inbound PLU                                             
  76. |        support is on at Communication Manager/2.                              
  77. |        NetView will not reissue the command.                                  
  78. |     2. DEFINE_REMOTE_FP must be issued at Communication                       
  79. |        Manager/2.                                                             
  80. |     3. This may be due to delay in acquisition.                               
  81. |        - 30 seconds after link comes active.                                  
  82. |        - 30 minute automatic retry in case of non-APPN links                  
  83. |          or unknown time if Communications Manager/2                          
  84. |          is not responsible for acquisition.                                  
  85. |                                                                               
  86. | 4. 04/16/93 Why am I not a focal point for entry                              
  87. |             point xxxxxxxx?                                                   
  88. |                                                                               
  89. |   a. Use PMDSPLAY to display MS information for local                         
  90. |      focal points.                                                            
  91. |   b. Must use .NDF file verbs, SOC program, or entry                          
  92. |      point definition to establish relationship.                              
  93. |   d. Focal FP application must be currently registered.                       
  94. |   e. Session may not be active (inactive links, no                            
  95. |      LU definitions).                                                         
  96. |   f. EP may have higher rank FP.                                              
  97. |   g. Check error log for revoke received (type 0055 ), then                   
  98. |       EP may have been acquired by another FP                                 
  99. |       or FP loop may have been detected and broken.                           
  100. |   h. Entry point product may not accept focal point                           
  101. |      AS/400 pre V2R2 only accepts Alert category.                             
  102. |      NetView does not accept higher Alert FP (and some                        
  103. |      other categories).                                                       
  104. |   i. May be due to delay in acquisition, as previously stated.                
  105. |                                                                               
  106. |                                                                               
  107. | 5. 04/16/93 Why do I keep getting xxxxxxxx as my FP?                          
  108. |                                                                               
  109. |  a. Use PMDSPLAY to check retry responsibility and rank                       
  110. |     for category.                                                             
  111. |  b. If FP has retry responsibility,                                           
  112. |     Remove this node from FPs SOC.                                            
  113. |     (Does not have immediate effect) and                                      
  114. |     issue REVOKE_REMOTE_FP for this category                                  
  115. |     (no user interface supplied).                                             
  116. |  c. If EP (local Communications Manager/2 node)                               
  117. |     has retry responsibility,                                                 
  118. |     remove DEFINE_REMOTE_FP from the .NDF file,                               
  119. |     if it is present.  Stop Communications Manager/2 and                      
  120. |     erase APPCMS.DAT (will remove all categories).                            
  121. |     Issue REVOKE_REMOTE_FP for this category.                                 
  122. |     If host rank, set DEFINE_LOCAL_CP  HOST_FP_SUPPORT (NO).                  
  123. |
