Cause:
Cause type:
By design
Root Cause: The z/OS Agent only uses TCP/IP to connect/communicate with AE, per the requirements for the z/OS Agent: Requirements JES2 or JES3 TCP/IP V3R2M0 or later
Environment:
OS Version: N/A
Resolution:
The z/OS Agent only uses TCP/IP to connect and communicate with AE. However, the requirements to establish the connection must be adhered to for this to work.
Requirements
JES2 or JES3
TCP/IP V3R2M0 or later
APF authorization for the load library
C runtime library version V1R5M0 or later
An MSGCLASS in HOLD status that does not call a subsequent program (external writer)
