GoalNet connection to VTAM lost. Reply RESTART, AUTO, or NONE

Reason:

During operation of GoalNet, its connection to VTAM was lost. This may be due to VTAM failure or a VARY INACT against GoalNet’s application ID. At GoalNet initialization, RESTART WTOR was specified.

Action:

The following actions can be taken:

RESTART

Issued after VTAM is restarted or the application ID has been reactivated, this option will cause GoalNet to reinitialize itself.

AUTO

Issued prior to VTAM being restarted, this reply will eliminate the WTOR and cause GoalNet to await the issuance of message IST020 by VTAM. At that time, an automatic GoalNet restart will be attempted. AUTO is not an appropriate reply if VTAM is not being restarted or if VTAM restarting is complete.

NONE

This option eliminates the WTOR and no further action is taken by GoalNet. Following restoration of the VTAM environment, issue a GOALNET RESTART command to CA‑GSS.
