Issue/Introduction

 
During Xnet start-up we received the following error:  $XNTTASK xntXNT101EXnet IXNTALPD returned error rc 204 rs 285.

Is this causing failure?

Environment

Release : 20.0

Component : XNET COMMUNICATIONS SERVER

Resolution

The message : xntXNT101EXnet IXNTALPD returned error rc 204 rs 285 is not a problem. It is just XNET doing its initial internal analysis of existing connections, and then deducing none were found. In the PXNPARM member being used by the PTXNET stc please uncomment the *XES parameter. This will allow PXNPROC to dynamically start the PXNPROCE stc (the PXNPROCE should never be started manually). Also, please make certain the PXNPROCE JCL is left in its generic form from the Post-Install customization (and not manually edited).
I recommend commenting out (* in column 1) NOOPSEVENT, and NOOPSU2X, but uncommenting *NOOPSOFA . This will reveal further diagnostices in the PXNPROC output (as well as the XNET LOGFILE1) You will need to stop and start PXNPROC to pick up the changes.
