Link Activation Failure

Link activation failures occur when VTAM does not receive responses to XID requests. CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP retains the inactive PU in the EE XCA major node summary.

Use CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP to investigate link activation failures

1. From the command prompt, enter the panel shortcut:

   /EEXCA
   

   The EE XCA Major Node Summary is displayed.

2. Do one of the following:
   • For a known static connection with a status of INACT, enter A against the connection. If the activation fails, enter CT against the connection.
   • For a known static connection with a status of RESET, enter CT against the connection.
   • For a new connection:
     1. From the command prompt, enter the command:

           /EE
        

        The Enterprise Extender Management menu is displayed.

     2. Enter CT and the IP address.

   The EE Connectivity Test panel is displayed. If the destination:

   • Cannot be reached, the following causes are possible:
     • The IP connectivity is lost within the network.
     • The firewall does not allow UDP traffic for EE ports 12000 through 12004.
   • Can be reached but is not responding, check that EE is enabled on the remote end point.
