CEMT INQUIRE FECONNECTION

Function

Display information about FEPI connections.

Description

INQUIRE FECONNECTION displays information about the state of FEPI connections. A connection is identified by specifying the target and node. The results are given in order of target within the node. Family selection can be used for TARGET and NODE, but list selection cannot be used.

Input

ALl
is the default. Information about all connections is given, unless you specify a selection.
NODe(nodename)
is the 8-character name of a node. Information is restricted to connections of which this node forms part.
Target(targetname)
is the 8-character name of a target. Information is restricted to connections of which this target forms part.

Displayed fields

Node(value)
displays the 8-character name of a node identifying a connection.
Target(value)
displays the 8-character name of a target identifying a connection.
Pool(poolname)
displays the 8-character name of a pool of connections.
Installed|Notinstalled
displays a value identifying the install state of the connection. The values are:
Installed
The connection is in a pool that has been defined by INSTALL and is available for use.
Notinstalled
The connection is in a pool, or involves a node or target that is being discarded, but is still in use.
Inservice|Outservice
displays a value identifying the service state of the connection. The values are:
Inservice
The connection is in service and can be used in a conversation. If OUTSERVICE state has been requested but has not yet completed, a ‘GOING OUT’ message is shown.
Outservice
The connection is out of service and cannot be used for any conversation.
Acquired|Released
displays a value identifying whether a session on the connection is bound. The values are:
Acquired
A session is bound on the connection. If RELEASED state has been requested but has not yet completed, a ‘BEING RELEASED’ message is shown. If this persists, you might need to use VTAM® commands to recover the connection.
Released
Sessions involving the connection have been unbound. If ACQUIRED state has been requested but has not yet completed, a ‘BEING ACQUIRED’ message is shown. If this persists, you might need to use VTAM commands to recover the connection.
State(value)
displays a 12-character value identifying the state of the conversation using the connection. The values are:
APPLICATION
A normal application task owns the conversation
BEGINSESSION
A begin-session handling task owns the conversation
FREE
An end-session handling task owns the conversation, following a FEPI FREE command
NOCONV
No conversation is active on the connection
PENDBEGIN
A begin-session handling task has been scheduled
PENDDATA
FEPI is waiting for inbound data, following a FEPI START command
PENDFREE
An end-session handling task has been scheduled, following a FEPI FREE command
PENDPASS
The conversation is unowned, following a FEPI FREE PASS command
PENDRELEASE
An end-session handling task has been scheduled, following an unbind request
PENDSTART
Inbound data having arrived, a task specified by FEPI START has been scheduled
PENDSTSN
An STSN-handling task has been scheduled
PENDUNSOL
An unsolicited-data handling task has been scheduled
RELEASE
An end-session handling task owns the conversation, following an unbind request
STSN
An STSN-handling task owns the conversation
UNSOLDATA
An unsolicited-data handling task owns the conversation.
The "pending" states indicate the conversation is unowned, pending the event or task indicated. If a "pending" state persists, it is likely that the application has failed in some way; you should consider resetting the connection by issuing a CEMT SET FECONNECTION RELEASED command.
Waitconvnum(value)
displays a value identifying the number of conversations that are waiting to start using a connection. (If a conversation could use any one of several connections, it is counted as waiting on each one.)
Lacqcode(value)
displays a hexadecimal value indicating the result of the last acquire request for the node; that is, the sense code from the last VTAM REQSESS, a zero indicating success. For information about VTAM sense codes, see either the VTAM Messages and Codes or the SNA Formats manual.
