Issue/Introduction
The Sysid is a parameter that uniquely identifies the server to CCI. This is a not a network id, but a name created to identify the server. It must be unique in the first eight characters. It is also referred to as the Client System ID.
Why am I getting error message:
Sysid specified in the Configuration File already exists within the CCI network when configuring CCI for Output Management Web Viewer 12.1?
Here is the output:
[Select an option]
Default selection: 1
Select an action:
Testing connection...
Connection failed.
Failure in CCIClient.init()
Return code = 0x0008
Primary RC = 0x0008

Error text = Sysid specified in the Configuration File already exists within the CCI network
Environment
- Common Services for z/OS MVS 15.0
- Output Management Web Viewer 12.1
Cause
Resolution
The error message is saying that the value specified for the [CCI (Common Communications Interface) Client System ID ] is already in use. This Client System ID is an name for the OM Web Viewer Server that is unique in the first 8 characters. It is not a network name; it is a name that you create for the server.
Specify a new unique value for the [CCI (Common Communications Interface) Client System ID ].
Recycle OM Web Viewer
Additional Information
The TCPIP.Sysid is an ID used by the CCITCP/CCISSL task as a Virtual PC for its processing and is important. It should always be designated and be a unique value with no relevance to any system related identifiers, or the other property definitions in both CCIClient.properties and WVProfiile.properties. It will use up to 8 characters entered and if more than 8 are entered the process will just truncate after the 8th one. If left blank, it can default to the "machine name" and cause serious processing problems until resolved.
