Environment

Release : 14.1

Component : CAICCI-MVS

Cause

This CAS9899E message is indicating that a system attempted to connect(vaauswebpre01) to CCITCPGW, but has an alias that is already in use by system vaausweb400.

The ALIAS is defined in the CCIRMTD file on the connecting system. If not defined the ALIAS will be assigned based on the system name.

Resolution

Review these boxes(vaauswebpre01 and vaausweb400) and make the necessary corrections
Define an ALIAS on the LOCAL statement if not already defined. The ALIAS name must be unique in your CCI network. Two systems can not have the same ALIAS.
