Issue/Introduction

Description:

During NetMaster Subsystem Interface STC startup, SNANMI-related security requirement errors NSN581 and NSN585 may still appear, despite

the basic verifications found on Install or Upgrade NetMaster Products r12.2--topic Prepare IBM Communications Server (TCP/IP and FTM Only).

Solution:

Here's a couple of things that can be verified to try to isolate the problem:

  1. VTAM will attempt to access the /var directory when opening the socket--typically this is where the problem is.  Look in the VTAM (typically STC = NET) JESLOG, and you will see messages either showing success or failure to open the server management socket.

    It follows a successful msg: 
    IST1925I SOCKET OPENED BY SNAMGMT SERVER SUBTASK
    It follows an example when VTAM JESLOG shows an authorization problem: 
    ACF04056 ACCESS TO RESOURCE IST.NETMGMT.XXXX.SNAMGMT TYPE RSER BYNMTCPSSI NOT AUTHORIZED
  2. The following command will look out for NET and will show if VTAM has opened the socket required for this API: 
    syscmd D OMVS,SOCKETS NET    00000001          LISTEN 00000E9B 00000000SOCKET NAME: /var/sock/SNAMGMTNET    00001E64 00001E63 ACP    00088412 00224786SOCKET NAME: /var/sock/SNAMGMT

Environment

Release:
Component: NMTIP

Resolution
