Issue/Introduction

If the Vantage StoragePoint™ Web Client started tasks are running in two different LPARs, how to establish the connection from one LPAR Vantage Web client to other? The affinity card (AFFINITY EXEC PGM=BPXTCAFF,PARM=TCPIPV) was added in the Vantage STC, but it did not work.

Resolution

Please make sure the following things are in place.
1. The correct firewall rules are put in place.

2. The factory supplied VANWEBUI proc has instream shell script statements which begin after //STDENV DD *, but some of the customers may copy these statements into an external dataset and use this dataset in the proc. If that is the case then try to move the shell script statements inside the PROC, similar to Factory supplied VANWEBUI proc.

3. Add the _BPXK_SETIBMOPT_TRANSPORT variable set to TCPIPV.

3. If RESOLVER_CONFIG environment variable is used then //SYSTCPD  can be removed or comment out in the VANWEBUI proc.

The following is sample STDENV.

//STDENV DD *
