Issue/Introduction
We have a new installed XCOM on Linux and from there using command xcomtcp to send files to IBM mainframe. xcomtcp returns Return Code 3 and not 0 even if everything seems to look OK.
[ingil:root:/opt/CA/XCOM/config:] xcomqm -r xcomqm: CA XCOM Data Transport r11.6 16083 SP01 64bit
Mainframe side: XCOM remote system ping: XCOMU0882I PING INFO FOR mmmmm XCOMU0882I RELEASE= v12.0 SP00 GEN LEVEL 1405
And now the xcomtcp -command that gives RC=3 $ xcomtcp -c1 -f cfg/send_file.cnf USERID=removed PASSWORD=removed REMOTE_FILE=TESTI LOCAL_FILE=testi.xx FILE_OPTION=REPLACE CODE_FLAG=EBCDIC LOCAL_NOTIFY=xxxxxx NOTIFYL=WRITE
2018/09/13 14:39:03 TID=000049 [testi.xx --> TESTI at mmmmm] XCOMU0029I Locally initiated transfer started. 2018/09/13 14:39:04 TID=000049 XCOMU0011I Transfer ended; 1 blocks (23 bytes) transmitted in 1 seconds (23 bytes/second)
$ echo $? 3 ========================
Environment
XCOM r11.6 for Linux, XCOM r12 for z/OS
Resolution
The RC of 3 per the errno.h indicates "NO SUCH PROCESS".
Make sure that the permission for "xcomtcp" is set correctly. It has to be owned by root and the group must be xcomadm: -r-sr-sr-x. 1 root xcomadm If you don't have the correct permission for xcomtcp you can get the RC 3.
