ICMF Environment Diagnostics

If command responses are not returned to the local system, or if unsolicited WTO traffic from external systems does not appear on local consoles, then you might be having ICMF communication problems.

To diagnose ICMF communication problems

1. Verify that you are using ICMF by entering the following command:

   F MIM,D FA
   

2. Verify that all current maintenance is applied to both CA MIC and CA L-Serv.
3. Issue the following commands:

   F MIM,D SYS
   F MIM,ICMF STATUS
   F L-SERV,D APPL
   F L-SERV,D ROUTE
   

   Information displayed by these commands is required to diagnose ICMF problems.

   These commands should be entered on all systems where the problem is occurring; that is, no command response due to inactive routes, or CA MIM systems showing INACTIVE.

When running CA L-Serv and the CA MIC ICMF facility, we recommend that you set the CA L-Serv parameters SENDLIMIT and HOLDBUF to 999. This provides adequate buffering for the amount of cross-system traffic generated by the ICMF facility. This prevents CA L-Serv from putting the ICMF facility in HOLD status too often.
