Hello Kish and welcome to the forums,

Are you a mainframe network person? If not, i'd suggest you talk with the person/group responsible for network activity on your mainframe.

Most mainframes use tcp/ip for their 3270 connections to the mainframe and if your tcp environment was "down", no one (developer or user) could connect. . .

If you are the network person, i agree with Enrico - the forums is not a good place to learn how to configure/support your network environment - some reasons are that you will get multiple incompatible answers and some people will post suggestions that simply cannot work.

tnx for all ur replies

i should confess that i am not so much into MainFrames , but i work in a laboratory and an experimental environment. i m quite professional in unix based systems , my new career is to administrate a MainFrame 9672 G6 S/390 machine.

i know how people post in forums , i mean i know the answers may not be correct , but as i know u r professionals in OS/390 and i thought u may have
some good resources like howto`s (like unix ) or some step by step guide lines.totally i am quite a newbie that have to administrate a new machine.

so please help me.if u know any other forumes to help newbies please let me know.

tnx

believe me or not i am the only "sysadmin",i only need help , and i think

forums are a good place to exchange problems and solutions.

is my question abnormal ? isnt it right to be questioned ? i mean my question

dosent meet forum rules ?

i think the basic duty of forum members ;morally of course;is to HELP.this helps them to develope their experience and compare their knowledge to others and etc....

but here u r sentencing me to not knowing ! if i knew the answers i wouldnt be a member here .i thought u may ask me the details to help , but here u are showing me the general answers that every body knows.

any way thanks alot for ur help!

What to ask on a forum, and what to reply has always been
a debatable/debated issue, sometimes with lots of flames,

each one of us has his' s ethics in what to / how to reply to forum questions.

/personal opinions ON
Forum like these at ibmmainframes.com should NOT be a substitute
for proper training,
POOR ORGANIZATION
correct approach to the job
reading the documentation
and ....

These forums should be something that can be lived without :-)

A forum should be place for an exchange of experiences,
even if there is the the right expectation for the more experts to give better answers

a forum question posed in the right way and with the proper attitude should
only shorten the time to get a solution, not a substitute for an institutional approach
furthermore there should always be be on the poster' s side a personal follow on

Unfortunately there are too many messages of the type..
I got this message "xyz12345" what does it mean
and the only ethically correct answer is READ THE F*****G MANUAL
we are not here to do the reading for you ( impersonal pronoun )

forum should be used for short time question and answers

even if I might be sympathetic to Your problems
I would put them in the box marked "POOR ORGANIZATION"
ask Your organization to give You the tools/training/documentation
in order to anble You to do Your job !

what You are asking is not a point and shoot question/answer

but full training/guidance in doing Your work,
in an already preset environment of which we do not know anything about

in this case my feeling is that we would be giving FREE CONSULTANCY services to Your organization...
( possibly having given You a task for which You were not adequately trained )

configuring TCP/IP is a standard ( NOT AN EXCEPTIONAL ) task well documented in the manuals,
and in the documentation Your company should have received with the MRM ( machine readable material)

/personal opinions OFF

for mainframe administration a good starting point would be the
two versions of "ABC of system programming"

search for them starting from
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/

in the section REDBOOKS
also navigating from the bookshelf for You OS release You will find all
the documentation fro setting up the TCPIP subsystem

GOOD LUCK and I mean it :-)

Dear dick scherrer thanks for your sympathies

Yes , I know that you are right , and I know that I am asking too much ,

but if you show me the way I would go along , for example
I checked my TCP/IP profile and datasets every thing seemed OK to me.

however I couldn’t read some of datasets because I think there are In binary format and I don’t know the editor or program to open them.

While system boots and the IPL stage is finished and I want to start TCP/IP job I get theses messages on my MVS console :

S TCPIP
$HASP373 TCPIP STARTED
IEF403I TCPIP - STARTED - TIME=11.32.13

.
.
.
ERRORID = SEQ00018 CPU00 ASID0021 TIME 11.32.13.8
ID = TCPIP DUMP COMPLETED FOR JOB TCPIP

and when i get tcpip status on mvs console by issuing the D command following message displayed :

D TCPIP
EZOP50I TCPIP STATUS REPORTED 638

COUNT TCPIP NAME VERSION STATUS
------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------
1 TCPIP CS V2R10 INACTIVE

***END TCPIP STATUS REPORT****
EZAP41I 'DISPLAY TCPIP' COMMAND COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY

and when i start for second time after this message i get this reason :

IRR813I NO PROFILE WAS FOUND IN THE STARTED CALSS FOR 591 TCPIP WITH JOBNAME TCPIP. RACF WILL USE ICHRIN03
$HASP100 TCPIP ON STCINRDR
IEF695I STARTED TCPIP WITH JOB NAME TCPIP IS ASSIGNED TO USE
++++
$HASP373 TCPIP STARTED TIME .....

Will you check this out and let me know what’s going wrong ?

THANKS...

we need to know how Your organization got the system installed,
You should start asking a little bit about the setup to the person who
made the first installation

looks like You are facing two problems...

a tcpip startup..
looks like that TCPIP to start needs the OVMVS address spce
( the openedition component )

a RACF/TCPIP mismatch..

I might guess that the authorities granted to tcpip are not adequate

ps..

thanks alot for your answer , i really appreciate your patience

enrico tell me what details do you need ? as far as i know i didnt have TCP/IP

connection problem , i mean it was ok.

i remember changing some RACF values and datasets which i think it made

the problem.do you need any config file or any structure or any thing which

your experience say ?

i am really frustrated

do you think i should check permissions ? what permission do i need to

grant to TCP/IP ?

do you need any other command output that you may want me to execute

on TSO or MVS ?

i know that i dont know

thanks every body....

Thats the point ....

Your problem is that TCPIP is being assigned a default userid (++++++++) at start up time. Depending on what you have defined in RACF exit ICHRIN03 depends on what you must now do. I think the default action would be to define a userid with the name TCPIP making sure that it has an OMVS segment. This user must then be given access to the RACF class STARTED

dick scherrer · Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2007 10:06 pm

Hello Kish,

Is this "your" system or will others be using it?

If you are both the admin and the only user, you can give all RACF permissions and you won't have "security" problems.

If other than you is to use the system, this could be a disaster. You might very easily get into the situation where one of the "users" has more mainframe experience and does "bad things".

Dear enrico-sorichetti, dick scherrer, nevilh

I want to mention my gratitude for your honest helps...
My system TCPIP is active and running suitably.

I am still hoping to have your help on My questions in further...

Best Regards.

Hello Kish,

You're welcome and we'll be here when there are new questions

How was the tcp/ip problem corrected? If you post how you corrected it, the answer may help someone else one day.

kish · New User Joined: 17 Nov 2007 Posts: 20

hello

I add the profile with name TCPIP in started Class at RACF
CLASS NAME
----- ----
STARTED TCPIP

LEVEL OWNER UNIVERSAL ACCESS YOUR ACCESS WARNING
----- -------- ---------------- ----------- -------
00 SYS1 EXECUTE EXECUTE YES

INSTALLATION DATA
-----------------
NONE

APPLICATION DATA
----------------
NONE

then grant the UACC execute "permission" to this profile and change the setting of stdata like following :

STDATA INFORMATION
------------------
USER=
GROUP= SYS1
TRUSTED= YES
PRIVILEGED= YES
TRACE= NO

and working... it's all...
