Respond to XCF Communication Problems

If you experience a communication problem when using XCF, issue the DISPLAY ROUTES command and see the appropriate situation below:

• No route appears between two systems.

  Issue the following z/OS console command:

  D XCF
  

  Check that both systems are part of the sysplex. XCF can only be used between systems that are in the same sysplex.

• There is an inactive route between two systems.

  Issue the following z/OS console command:

  D XCF,GROUP,group
  

  group

  Defines the name associated with the XCF group used by CA-L-Serv.

  The default group name is LSRVsubsystemname (LSRV prefixed to the subsystem name).

  The output of this command lists all of the members of the specified group. By default, members are named LCOMsystemname (LCOM prefixed to the local system name). If a particular member does not appear in the output, it may indicate one of two problems:

  • CA-L-Serv, the communications server is not running on the system associated with that member. Check that CA-L-Serv is running and that the communications server has been started with XCF enabled.
  • The system was not assigned to the associated group. Ensure that the subsystem name is the same on that system as on the other systems in the group.

If these suggestions do not lead to a solution to your problem, contact CA Support.
