Issue/Introduction

Error connecting to Netmaster File Transfer after Connect:Direct version update

Connect:Direct for z/OS fails to initialize following an upgrade or the application of IBM security PTFs. The startup log shows error SITA490I indicating that the NetMaster File Transfer Management exit NMCDSTEX is not authorized.

Symptoms
The Connect:Direct started task terminates with the following messages:

SITA022I Loading Connect:Direct modules.
SITA490I DGADTABL DGAXTABL LIST='STATEXIT' does not allow 'NMCDSTEX'.
SITA490I RC=8.
SITA499E DGADTABL RC= 8. CD Initialization Terminated.

Environment

• NetMaster File Transfer Management
• Connect:Direct for z/OS 
• z/OS

Cause

IBM PTFs (UI91057, UI90597, or UI91058) introduced a User Specified Program Limitation table (DGAXTABL). This table restricts which exits and programs Connect:Direct can load. If NMCDSTEX is not defined in this table, initialization fails.

Resolution

1. Update the DGAXTABL source module in the Connect:Direct environment to include NMCDSTEX in the authorized STATEXIT list.
2. Assemble and link-edit the updated DGAXTABL module into the Connect:Direct load library.
3. Ensure NetMaster PTFs RO93965 and RO93966 are applied.
4. Recompile and link the NMCDSTEX exit using the source provided in the NetMaster CC2DSAMP library to ensure compatibility with the updated Connect:Direct version.
5. Restart the Connect:Direct started task.
