Command Rejected-No Linkage Defined (Message MIM3039)

Try these possible solutions:

• You may need to add linkages for INTERNAL and INSTREAM. Enter the z/OS command D C,* from the problem command source. If z/OS message NO CONSOLES MEET SPECIFIED CRITERIA appears, then add linkages for INTERNAL or INSTREAM or both.

  For example:

  F MIM,LINK INSTREAM SYSID=EXT AUTH=ALL
  F MIM,LINK INTERNAL SYSID=EXT AUTH=ALL
  

  LINK INSTREAM may be required if a command is executed in a batch job. LINK INTERNAL may be required for some versions of SDSF.

• To issue cross-system commands from supported releases of SDSF or Netview, customers need to define LINKs for EMCS consoles. The EMCS consoles used by SDSF are named using the TSO user ID of the SDSF user issuing the command. The EMCS consoles used by Netview are named using the Netview logon ID. To determine the EMCS console name for your individual session, issue the z/OS D C,* command from the session. The EMCS console attributes for your session will be returned to you.

  You can reference console names generically through the CONSOLE= parameter on the LINK command. The CONSOLE= parameter also covers both active, and extended, MCS consoles. Through the use of wildcards in console names, you can define a single LINK command to provide multiple users cross-system command capability.

  Note: Customers are not required to define a LINK for every TSO user issuing cross-system commands from SDSF. You can issue one LINK command using wildcarding to cover multiple TSO users. The same is true for Netview users and EMCS console users in general.

  For example, if all TSO IDs at the site of a user begin with ABC, the user can issue the following LINK command to allow all TSO users to issue cross-system commands from SDSF:

  LINK CONSOLE=ABC* SYSID=ALL AUTH=...
  

• Verify that the current linkage matches the current CONSOLE from which the command is entered. Review the output of the z/OS D C,* command and compare it to the output of the CA MIM D LINK DETAIL ALL command. Then, enter the appropriate CA MIM LINK command.

  For example:

  D C,*  
  IEE889I 10.35.29 CONSOLE DISPLAY 878 
  MSG: CURR=0   LIM=9999 RPLY:CURR=0    LIM=100  SYS=XE12      PFK=00 
   CONSOLE/ALT      ID  --------------- SPECIFICATIONS ---------------
   XE07900          20  COND=M      AUTH=MASTER       NBUF=N/A  UD=Y  
    0900                AREA=Z          MFORM=T,J                     
    XE07                DEL=R    RTME=1      RNUM=39   SEG=39    CON=N
                        USE=FC   LEVEL=ALL             PFKTAB=PFKMIC  
                        ROUTCDE=ALL 
                        CMDSYS=XE07  
                        MSCOPE=XE07  
                        MONITOR=JOBNAMES,SESS 
                        ALTGRP=MSTRGRPX
  

  This console requires the following LINK:

  F MIM,LINK CONSOLE=XE07900
  

• Verify that linkage exists for the target system. For example:

  LINK CONSOLE=XE07900 SYSID=SYSA,SYSB AUTH=SOURCE
  

  This linkage only allows commands to be sent from console XE07900 to SYSA or SYSB. This linkage will not allow a cross-system command to be sent to SYSC.
