Issue/Introduction

Running ACFBATCH (ACF2) job; set target to the local node. Job times out after several minutes with messages:

CA ACF2 COMMAND RESPONSE FROM REMOTE NODE: SYSX
CAS5232I  Request for node CACCIN has timed out

 

Environment

Release : 16.0

Resolution

There are a couple of different reasons why this issue could occur:

1. When running batch ACF2 with CPF, the CPF OPTIONS record should not specify the default CPFWAIT, NOCPFWAIT should be specified. Adding 'NOCPFWAIT' to the command can resolve the problem:
   
   SET TARGET(SYSX)
   INSERT CDEFGL.TEST1 DSN('TEST.MY.IMPORT.DATASET') NOCPFWAIT
   
   
2. The logger database on the receiving node is full. 

    View the status of the logger database by issuing:
   
   F CCILGR,DISPLAY
   
   Purge the contents of the logger database by issuing:
   
   F CCILGR,PURGE,,,0
