Issue/Introduction

We are establishing CCI TCP/IP connections between 2 hosts for OPSMVS MSF purposes.

• The CCI SYSID names for the 2 hosts are CCItest and CCIprodx
• We only have CCIprod defined in the CCI ENF parms
   
• CCI parms set as follows:
  SYSID(CCIsysid)
  PROTOCOL(TCPIPGW,700,01,CCIsysid)
  NODE(TCPIPGW,123.45.67.8:700,01,CCIprodx,4096)
  CONNECT(CCIprodx)
  
  
• Receive the following messages when CCITCPGW starts on CCItest: 
  • CAS9859W - 2 Remote Hosts have been detected using the same Short Name alias CCIprodx 
  • CAS9859W - Remote Host 1 = CCIprodx CAS9859W - Remote Host 2 = prodx
    
    
• On CCITCPGW starts successfully on CCIprodx
  • MSF connection from that host communicates with CCItest
  • No CAS9859W messages
    
    
• MSF connection activated from CCItest, does not communicate with (CCIprodx)

Environment

Common Services for z/OS r15.0 CCIMVS
OPS/MVS  r14.0

Cause

The OPS/MVS component was using the older CCI sysid of "CCIprod"

Resolution

Once corrected, a restart of the CCI component of OPS/MVS  picked up the new CCI SYSID name.

Additional Information

Details of the MSF (Multi-System Facility ) using CCI are found are found under the Address Software Requirements section in the OPS/MVS r14.0 documentation.
