Messages ECAT00 through ECATxx

This group includes messages for the IOA (infrastructure) product.

ECAT00I CHANNEL (channelId.TCP) task (taskId.type) LISTENING ON PORT(port), IP(hostIpAdd/*), APPLICATION (appl)

Explanation: This information message displays the host IP address and TCP/IP communication port number on which IOAGATE is listening. The message indicates that the TCP channel has initialized and is waiting for the partner or client to initiate the connection.

The variables in this message are:

Corrective Action: No action is required.

ECAT01E PROBABLE CTM/EM SET UP ERROR: DATACENTER PLATFORM WRONGLY DEFINED AS 'DISTRIBUTED' INSTEAD OF AS 'Z/OS'

Explanation: IOAGATE received a synchronization message from Control-M/Enterprise Manager that is encoded for non z/OS platforms. The error is probably because the Control-M for z/OS is incorrectly defined in the Control-M Configuration Manager.

Corrective Action: Ensure that in the Platform field of the Control-M Definition dialog box, the Control-M is defined as 'z/OS', not as 'distributed'.

ECAT02I CHANNEL(channelId.TCP) task (taskId.type) ESTABLISHED CONNECTION WITH HOST(hostIpAdd), APPLICATION(appl)

Explanation: This information message indicates that a dual connection (DC) TCP communication channel succeeded in connecting to the specified partner or client.

The variables in this message are:

Corrective Action: No action is required.

ECAT03I CHANNEL(channelId.TCP) task (taskId.type) TERMINATED CONNECTION WITH HOST(hostIpAdd)

Explanation: This information message indicates that the communication task of the specified dual connection (DC) TCP communication channel terminated the connection with its partner or client.

The variables in this message are:

Normal processing continues. The dual connection TCP channel will try to re-establish connection to the specified partner or client.

Corrective Action: No action is required.

ECAT04W CHANNEL(channelId.TCP) task (taskId.type) FAILED TO INITIALIZE, WILL RETRY IN A MINUTE

Explanation: This message warns that initialization failed during startup of the specified TCP channel. The ECAT05I or the ECAT09I message may accompany this message and explain the reason for the failure.

The variables in this message are:

Normal processing continues. After one minute, initialization of the indicated TCP channel is attempted again.

Corrective Action: No action is required.

ECAT05W CHANNEL(channelId.TCP) task (taskId.type) DETECTED EVENT(errno.errno_id) STAGE(stage) API(api) ACTION(action)

Explanation: This message warns that the dual connection (DC) TCP channel detected a TCP/IP internal errno event while trying to connect or during data exchange with a partner or client.

Internal TCP/IP errno events are network activities that are intercepted, identified, and processed by TCP/IP software. A unique name and a standard numeric code identify each event.

Internal TCP/IP events usually reflect normal network activity, including error recovery. Only codes that point to application program interface (API) errors indicate potential software defects.

This message ECAT05W is always followed by the ECAT0EI message, which explains the errno event.

The variables in this message are:

Normal processing continues, and the specified TCP channel handles the event as described by the value of action.

Corrective Action: For information about the detected errno event, refer to the appropriate TCP/IP vendor documentation. If the problem persists, call your network systems programmer for assistance.

ECAT06I CHANNEL(channelId.TCP) task (taskId.type) PARTNER DISCONNECTED APPLICATION(appl)

Explanation: This information message indicates that the partner or client disconnected because the dual connection (DC) channel detected an End-Of-File TCP/IP internal errno event.

The variables in this message are:

Normal processing continues. The TCP channel channelId shuts down, is reset, and is initialized again.

Corrective Action: No action is required.

ECAT07I CHANNEL(channelId.TCP) task (taskId.type) READY, APPLICATIONS(appls)

The variables in this message are:

The connection is closed and normal processing continues.

Corrective Action: No action is required.

ECAT09W CHAN(channelId.TCP) task (taskId.type) EVENT(errno.errno_id) SOCK(socket) API(stage.api) ACT(action), RHOST(hostId)

Explanation: This message warns that the multiple connection (MC) TCP channel detected a TCP/IP errno event while trying to connect or during data exchange with a partner or client.

Internal TCP/IP errno events are network activities that are intercepted, identified and processed by TCP/IP software. A unique name and a standard numeric code identify each event. Internal TCP/IP events usually reflect normal network activity, including error recovery. Only codes that point to application program interface (API) errors indicate potential software problems.

This message ECAT05W is always followed by the ECAT0EI message, which explains the errno event.

The variables in this message are:

Normal processing continues, and the specified TCP channel handles the event as described by the value of action.

Corrective Action: Refer to the appropriate TCP/IP vendor documentation for information about errno_id. If the problem persists, call your network systems programmer for assistance.

Explanation: The SSL handshake with the client failed. The reason for the failure is described in message ECATS1E, which follows this message.

The variables in this message are:

Common values for rc are:

rc

Meaning

Most Probable Cause

6

Key label is not found

A bad KEYLAB parameter was specified in the ECAPARM configuration file

406

Error while reading or writing data

A CTM/EM client attempted to communicate using TCP/IP without SSL

For a full explanation of the return codes, please refer to the IBM manual SC24-5901-03 , z/OS V1R4.0-V1R5.0 System SSL Programming.

The connection is terminated. IOAGATE resumes listening for incoming connections on the DC channel.

Corrective Action: If the return code is 406 and after this failure the SSL handshake succeeds, no action is required. It is normal for CTM/EM to first attempt to connect using TCP/IP without SSL, and if this attempt fails, it retries with SSL.

If the return code is 406 and the error persists, the client side has probably not enabled SSL. Otherwise, refer to message ECATS1E and to the above-mentioned IBM publication.
