Configuration Issues—i5/OS (AS/400)

If you are configuring the VTAM LU that represents the System i5 on a mainframe, make sure that the VTAM USS message 10 is not sent to that LU. IBM's APPC software cannot start a session when this message, commonly called the welcome message, is sent.

To prevent this problem, the VTAM or NCP USSTAB definition must be set to a table that does not have a USSMSG10. The table that IBM originally provided with VTAM is a good alternative because it does not include message 10.
