Issue/Introduction

On a specific NetMaster region, only the very first MVS MODIFY console command (e.g. F NETMAS,STATUS) issued after the startup is correctly executed. The second and the following ones fail with the following error message:

IEE342I MODIFY   REJECTED-TASK BUSY

Are there any settings/configurations that may be causing this?

 

Environment

Release : 12.2

Cause

SH SYSPARMS=MDFYLIM command shows that MDFYLIM is set to 0:

N22201 SYSPARM  VALUE                     SOURCE         NAME/USER    LINKNAME
N22202 MDFYLIM  0                         PROCEDURE      NMINIT

When this SYSPARM is set to zero (0), then there will be one (1) Modify command to be issued, and then no more. This works as designed. See SYSPARMS Operands

Resolution

Set MDFYLIM SYSPARM to a value greater than zero. The default value is 5.

Additional Information

If you want to prevent a Modify command from ever being issued, then you need to add PPREF='NOMODIFY' in your RUNSYSIN, e.g.:

PPREF='XOPT=(SDUMP,NOHC)'  
PPREF='SEC=NMSAF'         
PPREF='INT=E4'             
PPREF='NOMODIFY'         
PPREF='SSM=NO'
