Configuring a Region › Check File Transmission Activation

Check File Transmission Activation

After you have defined all your initiator sets for your first system, you must check the file transmission activation.

To check the file transmission activation

1. Start a second system and define the initiator set for that system.
2. Log on to one system in OCS Mode (ensure that the user ID you use has Monitor Status and CA SOLVE:FTS privileges) and, if necessary, execute a LINK STOP command to break the INMC link between the two systems.

   The INMC link becomes inactive.

3. Issue a LINK START command to reestablish the link and watch the sequence of monitor messages that appear. For example:

   LINK START=remote-system
   

   The link becomes active and the following monitor message appears:

   N35002 LINK FROM this-system TO remote-system NOW ACTIVE
   

4. Enter SHOW FTS.

   The status of your CA SOLVE:FTS connection across the link appears.

   1. If the message display shows that CA SOLVE:FTS is IN CONTACT for the link, CA SOLVE:FTS has been activated successfully for this pair of systems and file transmission operations are now possible.
   2. If the display shows PENDING CONTACT, the remote region may not be active or may not allow INMC links to this region.
   3. If the display shows NOT CONFIGURED, the remote system is not configured with the CA SOLVE:FTS function. If the display shows NOT-COMPATIBLE, the remote system is running a different version of CA SOLVE:FTS. If the two versions are incompatible, contact Technical Support.
5. If an INMC link was already active prior to updating the initiator set, you must restart these links.
6. Issue a LINK STOP command to close the link, then a LINK RESET command followed by a LINK START command. This refreshes the link definition and the initiator definitions, and activates the new initiator definitions.
