TPX_ACB_INACTIVE

Description

This TPX health check checks for the VTAM ACB being active for the product.

It runs once in every minute. If an error occurs, the following Health Check message is displayed:

TPXH3000E Primary ACB <ACB name> is not active from VNODE <VTAMLST node>

The primary PLU ACB has not been activated in VTAM for the TPX job. The primary PLU ACB should be in TPX VTAMLST member. TPX will not accept any signons until the ACB is activated. If online users not being able to interact with applications, productivity is lost.

Best Practice

The TPX VTAMLST member should be active before you start the CA TPX product. Operators should not vary the main TPX ACBNAME inactive while the product is running.

Parameters Accepted
<ACB name>

Defines VTAM ACB name used by the product.

<VTAMLST node>

Defines VTAMLST node used by the product.

Debug Support

Yes.

Check whether the major VTAM node actual name has been activated. The startup VNODE parameter &var6 on the TPX PROC JCL lists the VTAMLST member, which should be activated before starting up CA TPX.

You can display the status of the actual name member by issuing the following operator command:

D NET,ID=<VTAMLST node>,E

If the VNODE parameter member is not found, you will see the IST453I message stating that the node is invalid. Try varying VTAMLST member name active with the following operator command:

V NET,ACT,ID=<VTAMLST node>,SCOPE=ALL
Verbose Support

Yes.

You can display the TPX PLU ACB by issuing following command:

D NET,ID=<ACBname>,E

There may be a problem with ADMIN1 DD file when the VNODE member major node is active while the ACB &var12 is in CONCT state but TPX is unable to activate its ACB. The ADMIN1 DD file have to be restored from a working backup copy. Ensure that PLU ACB and its VNODE member node are available and not being used on the system before pursuing an ADMIN1 DD file.
